Firm or Organization:
Description:
I am an attorney with over ten years experience, including 8 years with a major defense firm. Since 1998 I have been self-employed doing research and overflow projects for other attorneys.
My large law firm experience was primarily federal court tort litigation including discrimination cases, medical product liability and attorney, architect and engineering malpractice. My background includes experience in complex federal procedural questions and I maintain research files on things such as personal and subject matter jurisdiction, removal, Rule 12(b) motions and transfers pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1404. My experience includes some cases in the Southern District of New York.
My current clients are mostly plaintiff's attorneys but my work continues to focus on federal court matters. I would be willing to provide research and/or writing assistance to any firm or attorney, from simply sending a list of cases where research could begin on specified topics or answering questions or assisting in reviewing or writing things. It would be easiest to handle requests and projects by email and/or fax machine.
