Overview When you seek legal support, you’re not just hiring someone to draft documents—you’re protecting your business, your ideas, and your peace of mind. I approach every matter with that responsibility in mind. I am a professional Legal Researcher, Contract Drafter, Intellectual Property Legal Consultant, AI & Technology Law Specialist, Legal Writer, and Paralegal with 6+ years of experience helping startups, AI founders, SaaS companies, small businesses, entrepreneurs, content creators, pro se litigants, and law firms protect their interests and move forward with confidence.

I focus on Contract Law, Intellectual Property Law, and AI-related legal documentation, providing clear, enforceable, and practical legal documents, all in compliance with international law and U.S. federal and state laws, so you can make informed decisions without legal uncertainty.

Following an education in Philosophy and English/Literature, I have put together a well-rounded life in real estate, business, creative writing and the legal profession. My education provided me with the tools to develop my natural talents to think thoroughly and write well. In the legal profession, knowing that the slightest nuance or the choice of just the right word can completely change an outcome, the ability to write and express yourself well is the key to success. During the last few decades I have researched and written documents for civil and criminal cases for presentation to various Federal & State Courts. My range of experience has been in real estate, civil, bankruptcy, personal injury, guardianship, probate, family and criminal issues. I have also researched and drafted Qui Tam and Bivens Complaints. Legal documents I have drafted have been presented in County, State, Federal, Bankruptcy, BAP and other factions of the legal system. The legal research tools that I have at my fingertips provide me with quick, and thorough, answers to legal issues. Additionally, I work in the creative writing and art fields. I have recently edited a series of 40 books for children and aided in the assembling the writing and artwork in those books for the publisher. I have edited writings from various authors (poets, short story writers, novelists and playwrights). My proofreading and editing work has also been used for white papers, Masters theses, business and legal papers. I work extremely well with deadlines and am happy to put in extra hours to complete projects in a timely manner for a successful conclusion.
