Need research and writing? Hire the best.

I sub-contracted a highly unusual and complex matter to Marybeth for legal research and drafting, and needed results in very short turnaround. She handled the job with exceptional skill, I highly recommend her for her attention to detail, superb analytical skills, research abilities and communication... skills.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I absolutely endorse this appeals and writing specialist. MaryBeth has some of the clearest and most concise writing I have seen in my more than 15 years as a lawyer. She takes on very tough challenges, and can get them done very quickly and at an exceptionally reasonable price. I wouldn't hire any other lawyer for my appeals or for other writing projects that are "bet the case" kinds of circumstances--for better and for worse, we all have them, and there's no one better to lawyer handle them."

"MaryBeth is a wonderful appellate attorney. Not only is she an excellent writer, providing exceptional case analysis, she also has vast knowledge of appellate procedure, and the specific requirements of each panel. Not only were we successful in our appeal, but she was a joy to learn from, and work with. I give her the highest praise, and look forward to working with her in the future."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. MaryBeth has extraordinary legal analytical abilities. But her best asset is the ability to take complicated facts and law and write it so simple that a high school senior could understand it. Einstein accurately stated: any intelligent fool can take something complicated and make it more complicated; it takes a real genius to make it simple. MaryBeth’s skills are not limited to appellate work. Her simplicity skill is a blessing for trial attorneys like me who work where the rubber meets the road and are not part of the conceptual, scholarly, academic appellate world. I have worked with her on trial court and appellate briefs, and her insightful input is refreshing. She is easy to work with, pleasant, and accessible. She promptly responds to telephone messages, emails, or texts. I always look forward to working with her."

Her experience with the federal judiciary gives her a depth of knowledge and experience that is unique in the field. In my experience, she is a thoughtful and considerate person with the highest levels of good judgment and ethics. She is also creative and tenacious when she knows she has a winning argument.
