    I am an attorney licensed to practice in Nevada and Arizona. My primary areas of practice include civil personal injury/business litigation, appellate writing, criminal law, immigration, and I have handled various other projects in the civil arena. I received my education from the William S. Boyd School of Law and graduated in the top 12% of my class, receiving Cum Laude distinction. I was also initiated into the Scribes Association for Excellence in Legal Writing. While at Boyd, I completed a White Paper as a Nevada Law Editor through the Nevada Law Journal on the legal implications surrounding the Las Vegas Loop project involving Elon Musk's The Boring Company. My practical experience includes over five years of legal drafting as an attorney and law clerk for civil and criminal litigation. My civil litigation experience includes working for De Castroverde Law Group and Raich Law. I drafted civil briefs for personal injury and business litigation claims in federal and state courts, including responses to discovery, filing and answering complaints, mediation memoranda, and drafting dispositive motions. In addition, I also worked as a law clerk for the Eighth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas, Nevada, helping my judge brief complex civil matters such as multi-party personal injury and land-taking claims. For the past year, I have also practiced criminal law with experience in courtroom advocacy and drafting Appellate briefs for the Nevada Supreme Court. My experience would be an asset to any firm or individual needing legal drafting or research assistance. Should you have any further questions, please reach message me. I look forward to working with you! Disclaimer: Any service I provide outside of Nevada and Arizona is not intended to serve as any legal advice and should not be considered the work of an attorney in any outside jurisdiction. Instead, work that I provide should be seen as that of a paralegal or law clerk who uses their legal education to facilitate legal drafting and research for attorneys and pro se individuals that they may review for their own filings and continued study.

    I have written legal articles for websites of law firms in the US (California, Florida, New York, and Connecticut) as well as for law firms in Australia (Brisbane, Queensland, Victoria, Melbourne and Western Australia). Topics included will and probate, DUI, DWI, drunk driving, sexual assault, domestic violence, child support, divorce, employment law, bankruptcy, notarial law and immigration. I have drafted contracts, service agreements and prepared deposition summaries. I have provided litigation support by drafting requests for production of documents, requests for stipulations and admissions, and requests for taking depositions. I have even assisted a defendant pro se in the preparation of questions to ask at a discovery deposition in an FTC enforcement case. I drafted guidance for the use of members of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I assisted in the writing of guidance in contract making, supervision, and diversity. I have recently self-published a book in the Philippines. I am writing a second book that I will also self-publish. I have ghost-written three ebooks for clients on Upwork on achieving financial independence, learning all about Windows 10, and how to get over a failed relationship. I am skilled in the use of the English language: I graduated from high school in the United States; I hold a bachelor's degree in law and in European Languages from the University of the Philippines. In my undergraduate years, I interned at a local political talk show on radio. I have been a member in good standing of the Philippine bar since 1995 and I handle litigation of labor, criminal and civil cases. I write petitions, position papers, complaints, memorandums of law and arguments, legal briefs and legal opinions. I lecture weekly on church history, the Scriptures and legal issues. I maintain an English-language blog: my posts are usually commentaries on legal issues as analyzed in the light of the Scriptures. I would like to explore other areas of legal practice and expand to other areas of legal writing on-line.

    I have a varied background in legal matters, writing, real estate, construction and general business matters. Over the past decade I primarily worked in highly regulated industries such as cannabis, either as a consultant or minority partner. I was previously a big-firm attorney and went to one of the best law schools in the country, where I was an honors grad and a law clerk at the Tennessee Supreme Court. I also spent 1.5 years working as a case study associate at the Vanderbilt Institute for Public Policy Studies. I have expertise in real property title / zoning and corporate experience including development, leasing, water and mineral rights, corporate filings of every variety, and general contracts. I can handle complicated projects at a high level, and manage ongoing projects such as corporate or real estate filings with the appropriate attention to detail while also being fast. I can help non-US citizens set up companies in the US and in some cases act as a nominee director. I can help as a paralegal with high-level background support on any kind of litigation projects, be it one-offs or ongoing complex disputes. Any projects that require professional level writing are also in my wheelhouse. My undergraduate degree was in Writing and I was (i) an editor and writer for the University of Colorado - Denver newspaper, (ii) an articles editor of the Vanderbilt Law Review, and (iii) published law review author. In my professional career I have written articles with a legal focus and also white papers presented to local and state governments considering cannabis regulations and policies. I was the lead researcher and writer (on a volunteer basis) in a two-year effort successfully lobbying the State of Colorado to change its healthcare insurance "mandatory coverages" to include children with autism spectrum disorders. I have written pitch decks, marketing content and trade articles, process / SOP manuals, and complex regulatory applications that required up to 1,000 pages of content. I also have a technical construction background and have been the project manager on a number of cannabis industry development and building projects in multiple states, and have in the past decade been a licensed GC and ICC-certified commercial plans examiner. On a personal note, I've been involved in various non-profits in my adult life and generally they skew towards issues involving underprivileged kids or disabled kids. I was the pro bono counsel, Vice-President then later President, of the Autism Society of Colorado. I have been a youth mentor with various programs including Big Brothers & Big Sisters and similar organizations.

    I write and create content for a variety of clients in a number of different contexts. In fact, there is very little business, legal, or creative writing I do not do, and do well. When I am on the job, assignments are completed with faultless professionalism. Deadlines are always met, communication is regular and detailed, and my fees are fair for the quality of work I provide. I am professionally cordial in demeanor and easy to work with. If I may, let me outline my background, then turn to specific areas of expertise. Practicing law, writing/creating/presenting content, leading teams, hiring, on-boarding, and managing day-to-day employer-employee/union relations defined the lion's share of the work I did when employed full-time. As a freelancer, I have a litigation attorney's training and experience organizing, summarizing, and presenting, both in writing and orally, complex and often contradictory information. I am expertly transform specialized information requiring technical knowledge into plain, east-to-understand English without distortion or over-simplification. An exceedingly quick study, under pressure for high stakes is an environment with which I have years of experience and in which I thrive. I am a published, award-winning, short fiction writer. Everything I write is invariably creative, drawing the reader in and keeping her engaged as the story moves along. (All writing should tell a story, even the most technical). I copyedit/prepare for publication autobiographies, biographies, non-fiction, business, and self-help manuscripts. Having written a novel myself, I am also available to ghostwrite just about anything (although I might not be the best choice to ghostwrite your romance novel). I have mastered MS Office (primarily, Word and PowerPoint, but Excel, as well) and all the Google Workspace apps. If you prefer, I am also more than familiar with the LibreOffice and FreeOffice suites of apps. Drafting, reviewing, and consulting with respect to contracts or legal correspondence you may have received (a claim against you or the dreaded “lawyer’s letter”) are areas where I am particularly well-suited to provide professional services. With respect specifically to contracts, if you require someone who understands all the implications, including the boilerplate clauses, of a contract you or your company is being asked to sign, or to review/redraft an existing contract template, I provide top-level service. If you find yourself in the midst of a dispute concerning the language of a contract to which you are already party, or if you wish to end a contract with minimal liability, I am available to give advice. Please note, however, that should the circumstances call for it, I will encourage you to formally retain counsel in your jurisdiction. My skills and experience permit me to comprehend the law in all English-speaking jurisdictions and to conduct legal research as required. I have an extraordinary eye for detail. Relentless describes my approach to asking questions about the context of a document I am drafting or reviewing. To ensure that my client's interests are fully protected and advanced, my goal is always to ensure that I do not fall into the “I didn’t know what I didn’t know” trap. US immigration law is an area in which I have specific and wide-ranging experience. I routinely draft briefs, letters of support, petitioner's statements, and related correspondence to the USCIS in support of the clients of the law firms for which I freelance. My skills as a general business, marketing, and SEO content writer (articles, blogs, FAQs) are also at the highest possible level. I write effectively in almost any context a company might require. When I practiced law, I crafted all of my firm’s important legal opinion letters because my writing was always easy to understand and persuasive. As mentioned above - it bears repeating - retooling technically specialized or complex material so that it is accessible to a wide audience is one of my notable strengths. I have specific experience writing business plans and related PowerPoint presentations. I am seeking general business and creative writing assignments and writing assignments related to legal matters, including contract drafting/reviewing/negotiating.

    AVOID THE STRESS AND COSTS OF A MESSY LAWSUIT, HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TO WRITE AND EDIT YOUR CONTRACTS NOW! CONTRACT WRITING AND CONTRACT EDITING SERVICES A contract is the foundation of many business transactions across the globe. There has been an increase in the need for contracts in commercial transactions in recent times mainly because rights can be trampled upon and duties neglected if there is no binding or guiding contract to regulate business relationships. A badly written contract is worse than no contract at all. A misplaced clause in a contract can cause the disadvantaged party to suffer huge liabilities and financial losses. A poorly drafted contract can make the involved parties resort to litigation(which is time-consuming and capital intensive) for the interpretation of ambiguous clauses in such contracts. As a business owner, one of your paramount needs is to reduce your risks, maximize your profits and minimize losses. I offer extensive contract writing and contract editing services. If you hire me to draft your contracts, policies, and regulatory guidelines or to review them, you can be rest assured that you will get a legally compliant contract suited for your needs. I have sufficient knowledge and experience in corporate law and business contracts, and I have drafted several contracts such as Partnership Contracts, Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Contracts, Employment Contracts, Recording Artist Contracts, Memorandum and Articles of Association amongst others. Having me on your team would save you from avoidable costs arising from litigation and the implications of bad contracts. As a seasoned contract writer, my expertise comes in handy in giving you the best contract drafting and contract editing services. Kindly Message me now to get started! My specialties include: Manufacturing and Supply Contracts Intellectual Property Purchase Contract Domain Name Sale and Purchase Contract Franchise Agreement Shareholder Agreement LLC Operating Contract Independent Contractor Agreement Software License Contract Non-Disclosure Agreement Confidentiality Contract Website Development Contract Recording Artiste Contract Advertising and Marketing Contract House Rental Contract Marketing Agency Contract Mortgage Contract Employment Contract Hire Purchase Contract Prenuptial Contract Non Compete Contract End user License Agreement Memorandum of Understanding Freelancer Contract Social Media Management Contract Music Industry Contract Memorandum and Articles of Association Car Sale Contract Talent Management Contract Investment Contract Real Estate Purchase Contract Product and Service Agreement Founders Agreement Trademark/Patent License Agreement Trademark Search and Filing.

Kindly message me Now! WEBSITE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND PRIVACY POLICY WRITING In most countries, the law provides that companies who collect and collate people’s data and details are required to input privacy policies on their website pages and apps. Additionally, a terms and conditions page is a vital section on a website page mainly because it outlines the rules, terms, contractual duties, and responsibilities between the website host and the site visitors. The same regulations apply to mobile applications. For example, if you have an e-commerce store, the terms and conditions clause can provide a legal agreement that guides customers during purchase and limits your liabilities in case of product failure. To meet these needs, I provide extensive legal content writing services and draft legal contracts such as Terms and conditions and privacy policies for websites/apps, especially in the legal, finance, fintech, and cryptocurrency industries. I am highly skilled in writing: Terms of Service Terms and Conditions Privacy Policy Terms of Use Refund Policy Return Policy Shipping Policy Cookies Policy GDPR Compliant Policy Disclaimer Copyright Policy CalOppa Complaint Policy CCPA Compliant Policy EULA Compliant Policy If you hire me for your project, I will offer you the following pecks: A well-detailed and ready-to-use website terms.

Legal Writers Hiring FAQs

What is a legal writer?

When you hire a legal writer for a project, you get someone who can speak the language of the law, of lawyers, and of lawmakers. Finding a legal writer on Upwork allows you to secure a professional with the right qualifications, experience, and even the particular specialty of the law, that’s relevant to your situation.

How do you hire a legal writer?

You can source legal writing talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a legal writer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview legal writers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of legal writer you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire a legal writer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced legal writer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their legal writing services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by legal writers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $30 per hour
  • Intermediate: $57 per hour
  • Advanced: $85 per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a legal writer job post?

Job post title

  • Polished writer with thorough understanding of the law needed
  • Looking for attorney who can help develop my music contracts

  • Scope of work: From editing contracts to ghostwriting novels, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or types of law, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
