You may be a client of mine if you are:

• A sole practitioner, a partnership, or a small firm
• Focused on plaintiff’s personal injury
• Overwhelmed, stressed out, and behind

Maybe you have an assistant or two, who are great at what they do, but you need more, and you don’t have time to teach them.  If you had time to teach them, you wouldn’t need the help.

I have over twelve years of experience in plaintiff’s personal injury (and over twenty as a paralegal). My insatiable curiosity has stood me in good stead as I’ve worked my way through the law, asking questions about why and how, always digging for the next answer.  I know the steps to the personal injury dance by heart, and am capable of handling a case all the way from intake through demand, to litigation and discovery/disclosure, and even lien negotiation and post-judgment remedies.

You need the help, but you don’t want to shell out the square footage for another work station.  Never mind all the peripherals – the telephone, the computer, the monitor.

As an independent contractor, I provide my own office and peripherals.  I can come and meet you anywhere in metro Phoenix;  there is no need for you to rent floor space in the lobby and set up a desk there.  My work tends to be web-based, you email me the intake packet and any salient details of this particular matter; I do the work, then I send you the completed product for approval.

You need the help now, but what about six months or a year from now when you’re in the famine cycle?  You’ll have another employee eating off your plate, or you’ll have to let them go.  Nobody actually likes to fire someone; some folks just deal with it better than others. (Hint – you’re not one of the “others.”)

You pay me for the work I do – nothing more.  You don’t need to make work to justify having me, or worry about what’s not getting done when you see me getting another cup of coffee.  (I’m not in your office, remember?)  I offer a flat fee agreement, which gives you cost certainty.  You know going in what the most you’ll pay for my services in a particular case is.  I also understand that a claim that looks like a gold mine at intake may go completely bust when the records and bills come in.  I offer a “heart-based sliding scale discount” off the back end.  The worst part of my job as a paralegal was asking experts to cut their fees because this wonderful claim turned out to be . . . not so wonderful at settlement.

Does this sound like we might be a fit?  I’m not interested in selling someone on my services so much as I am in finding my team.  Give me a call and let’s meet up for coffee (or a beer) and discuss how we can work together.
