My clients have said: "Mary did prompt efficient work on this task. We will definitely seek to use her again in the future." "Excellent in all ways." "Proactive". "Mary exceeded expectations. She was quick, thorough and thoughtful." I am a native English speaker (American) with a BA from Indiana University. Additionally, I have a paralegal certificate from Tulane University.

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.

A highly experienced and entrepreneurial lawyer, I work primarily with business owners and founders in connection with mergers and acquisitions, securities law and contracts. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, finished in the top 7% of my law school class, where I graduated with honors and was selected as a Managing Editor of the Law Review, worked as a law clerk for a federal judge where I drafted opinions for the judge's review and briefed the judge on applicable law, and I was trained at Ballard Spahr and Morgan Lewis, two of the largest law firms in the United States. I also acquired, built and sold dozens of businesses, exposing me to corporate and securities law from a real world, entrepreneurial perspective. I did most of the contractual, M&A, tax planning, employment law and other legal work myself for my own companies because I love practicing law. I thoroughly enjoy working with business owners and their management teams to craft efficient and creative solutions to legal challenges. That's why I returned to the full-time practice of law after building and selling a number of successful businesses. I’m now seeking creative ways to build a practice that fits into my lifestyle, and that requires primarily working remotely. Upwork is an ideal platform for me to connect with innovative business owners, corporations and law firms seeking top-notch legal work that leverages technology to meet both my objectives and and my clients' goals as well. I have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions, tax planning (I also have an LL.M. in Taxation from NYU), employment law, corporate formation and governance. I've helped many clients comply with securities law issues in connection with raising capital through private placements and crowdfunding transactions. NEED HELP WITH A BUSINESS LAW CHALLENGE?

I have a background in law, and worked for 17 years as a legal researcher and writer. I was never licensed as a lawyer but functioned essentially as one, researched and wrote about hundreds, if not thousands, of subjects. By my own estimate I read approximately 5,000 appellate court opinions during the course of my litigation work and wrote certainly more than 1,000 memoranda for internal use in the law office or for filing at court. My areas of expertise include personal injury litigation plaintiff and defense, medical malpractice plaintiff, contract law especially contracts of insurance, bad faith litigation defense, coverage opinion letters, administrative law defense. My expertise is primarily in California law, to a lesser extent U.S. federal law. I helped prepare numerous cases for trial and am thoroughly familiar with all aspects of trial preparation, and have extensive knowledge of both procedural and substantive law. For the past eight years I taught English in China and Azerbaijan, mostly to professional adults but also to teenagers. I had my own business in China for five years as a private tutor, also worked at various training centers and high schools. I wrote a book, "Legal English", for use by Chinese lawyers, designed primarily to introduce them to legal vocabulary. Apart from my legal work, I have a varied background. I worked for seven years as a welder in California shipyards. I rebuilt a Volkswagen engine using the popular Idiot's Guide to Keeping Your Volkswagen Alive. I have broad experience of life, am an adventurer and an intellectual, have extremely well-developed skills in logic, researching, and writing, can keep to tight deadlines, and have a keen sense of people. I have kept an extensive journal during my travels (to 26 countries). I have a wide scope of knowledge and voracious reading habits; areas that I have significant familiarity with include law, history, geography, sciences, mathematics, languages, and the environment. I am self-directed, fully capable of handling significant projects independently.
