Reason #1: Because you'll save time.

Lawyers know that a well-written, authoritative memorandum of law in support of a motion can often make the difference between winning and losing a case. 

But as a busy attorney, you often have too many other things to do besides researching the case law, cite-checking supporting references, and structuring arguments.

A good research attorney can take the time to read through the case law and statutes, develop lines of reasoning, and craft the most persuasive written arguments on your client's behalf, all while you attend to the rest of your practice.

There is no need to procrastinate in filing a motion, responding to discovery or composing a brief.  Hiring me today can help you avoid incurring a client's ire (or worse, a malpractice claim) by missing a deadline under the procedural rules.

Reason #2: Because you'll save money for yourself.

You may have thought about hiring an associate or law clerk to cope with the occasional overflow of work, but you've balked at the overhead costs involved:  salary, office expenses, health & retirement benefits, malpractice insurance, Lexis®* access, and so on. 

And what about those times when there's not enough work to justify the expense of a full-time associate?

I am paid only for the hours I actually work on the project you assign, thus you can avoid the overhead expenses that come with a full-time employee.  

You can also use me to defer making a decision about hiring someone else permanently until you have a candidate pool you're happy with.

Reason #3: Because you'll save money for your clients.

My hourly rates are low.  I charge only $75/hour to you, the hiring attorney.  You can pass these savings directly on to the client, or you may be able to add a reasonable surcharge to my rate. 

Reason #4: To increase you practice's flexibility.
