If you are like the majority of solo and small-company lawyers practicing these days, you have more than enough paintings to do and no longer enough time to do it. Your days are packed with court appearances, appointments and call calls, so complicated studies and writing obligations (and not all and sundry loves to do them) get driven to evenings and weekends, taking time faraway from family and other sports. I help different attorneys represent their personal clients better with the aid of working as an impartial contractor and taking some of those time-eating duties off their fingers.
Research and writing is all I do due to the fact it is what I experience most about the practice of regulation - I m no longer a herbal trial lawyer. I decided to are searching for new challenges and redirect my career after eight years of coping with a variety of topics in small towns in Kansas (over four hundred new documents opened in 1999!). During my third yr in law college, I interned for the Hon. James A. Pusateri of america Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas in Topeka, then transitioned to a paid clerkship after graduation. I also spent a couple of years in personal practice in Kansas City, coping with often financial disaster and probate subjects.
I even have argued cases before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Kansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, and the Missouri Court of Appeals, and I authored the triumphing briefs main to the subsequent posted selections: State v. Horn, ___ Kan. ___, 206 P.3d 526 (No. one hundred,373, 5/eight/2009); State v. Fitzgerald, 286 Kan. 1124, 192 P.3d 171 (2008); State v. Anderson, 281 Kan. 896, 136 P.3d 406 (2006); U.S. Postal Serv. v. Dewey Freight System, Inc., 31 F.3d 620 (eighth Cir. 1994); and Boatmen s First Nat. Bank v. Hawkeye-Security Ins. Co., 861 S.W.2nd six hundred (Mo.App.W.D. 1993). While clerking for Judge Pusateri, I drafted his decision in In re Carter, 125 B.R. 832 (Bankr.D.Kan. 1991).
You get predictable and reliable help from an skilled lawyer when you need it, with out the overhead expenses while you don t. You hold manipulate of your case and maintain the patron you ve worked hard to domesticate. I actually have the same duties beneath the Model Rules regarding confidentiality and averting conflicts of interest. If you "carefully supervise" my paintings or adopt it as your personal and pay me a flat or hourly rate, you can not need to disclose to your client that I am working on the case - or that I won't be admitted to practice for your jurisdiction. An ABA Ethics Opinion (No. 00-420) instructs that if the entire fee charged to your customer is affordable, you may add a surcharge (i.e., income) to any of my charges billed as criminal services.
Of past due, my practice primarily involves crook protection, with some civil and home paintings. I work with lawyers at every litigation segment, from trial thru attraction. Regarding most of the documents I ve published, the trouble with being a prison ghostwriter - much like being a regulation clerk for a financial ruin decide or an companion at a regulation workplace - is that some of my nice work does no longer seem beneath my very own call. I have written for each of those lawyers on more than one occasion, and I anticipate that every could tell you that she or he makes minimum, if any, modifying to my paintings.
"Ghostwriting" is my "dream task." My pc, cellular telephone and wireless broadband provider suggest that I am rarely "out of the office," even if I m on the street to Kansas Jayhawk basketball games! Call me and permit s talk approximately what I can do for you.
