Hiring a legal writing service helps you meet deadlines without sacrificing other areas of your practice.

Legal research and writing tasks are time-consuming – especially if you want to do them well. Outsourcing your legal research and writing needs to a legal writing service frees up your time to do other work on your clients’ cases and ensures that your legal research and writing projects are completed on time.

Outsourcing your legal research and writing to a legal writer is cheaper than doing it yourself or hiring an associate.

Not only does outsourcing legal research and writing to a freelance attorney save you time, it also saves you money. My hourly rate is less than yours, and the financial investment involved in hiring a freelance attorney is far less than hiring an associate. Using a freelance attorney to outsource your legal research and writing needs gives you access to expert legal writing and analysis while allowing you to keep your overhead low.

Outsourcing your legal writing services lets you focus on the stuff you like!

Many lawyers don’t like research and writing – luckily for you, I do! Not only do I read, research, and write about the law for work, I write a legal blog for fun! Hiring a legal brief writer to provide expert legal research and writing services allows you the time to focus on the parts of litigation that you like and the parts you’re good at. That way, you get more time to tailor your practice to suit your professional needs, and your clients get the best work from the best people!

I don’t charge extra for the extra stuff.

 Many other legal writers add extra charges for research tools, but all of Legalinguist’s costs are built in. You’ll never get an additional charge for my use of Lexis, Westlaw, or Fastcase. I believe that the best legal brief writing comes from the best legal research, and it would be impossible to do my best work without these tools. So I always use the best legal research tols – and I never charge extra for them.

I’ve provided legal writing services to attorneys for over seven years.

I’ve written for law school journals and published articles in journals and newspapers. I have fifteen years of experience writing and researching on the state, federal, and international levels. I’ve worked in both civil and criminal courts and handled a broad range of cases, from premises liability to medical malpractice and everything in between. Finally, I’ve worked as a legal brief writer for the past seven years, working for attorneys just like you. 

I have a full day’s lead time to complete your legal research and writing project. 

Despite being a US attorney licensed in both Georgia and California, I have lived abroad for nearly a decade. Depending on where you live in the United States, I am between seven to ten hours ahead of you. The time difference means that I have a full business day’s lead time to draft and edit briefs and complete legal research projects. Additionally, while I may live in a different time zone, I make myself readily available to my clients through the use of tools like WhatsApp. 

All I do is legal research and writing. 

Specialization is a hard goal to meet when you work as a litigator. When your day consists of a little bit of everything, it can be all but impossible to meaningfully improve in specific practice areas. However, because providing legal research and writing services is all I do, I have accrued hundreds of hours of experience, allowing me to become a an expert in legal research and writing. While you may not be abo to outsource your opening statement at trial to a lawyer who only gives opening statements, you can make sure that your legal research and writing services are being performed by a true specialist, thereby  giving your clients the best chance to prevail. 

Using a legal writing service is perfectly ethical.

If you’re wondering about the ethical implications of outsourcing your legal research and writing needs, the American Bar Association Formal Ethics Opinion 08-451 states that a lawyer may outsource legal support services as long as the lawyer remains responsible for rendering competent legal services to the client under Model Rule. 1.1.

I show my work.

Many legal writers can tell you how great their services are, but they don’t show you. I have several pages on my site dedicated to showing samples of my past legal research and writing projects so that you can review my work to determine if Legalinguist is the best fit for your legal research and writing needs.  

I want your client to win!

Being client-focused is the foundation of my practice. Working as a legal brief writer, I consider the needs of the attorney who contracts me and the client involved in the litigation. My goal is always to produce the best work, get the best result, and make the stressful process of litigation go as smoothly as possible.
