I designed The Bullpen on a simple premise: the most sophisticated paralegal work should be available to every firm that needs it, not just the ones that can justify the full-time hire at a top-tier salary. I bring 28 years of complex commercial litigation experience, including 13 years at an AmLaw 200 firm, hundreds of hours in the trial hot seat across most states as well as international arbitrations, world-ranked Excel proficiency, and Relativity super-user expertise, directly to projects that require my unique skill set, whether that is a boutique firm going to trial, a solo practitioner with a complex eDiscovery project, or a large firm whose day-to-day paralegal team does not have capacity to adequately prepare for and execute a high-stakes moment or an extensive project. Every legal team needs a relief pitcher occasionally, one that is always warmed up for the crucial innings.
I accept engagements selectively. Every matter is handled personally by me, beginning with a complimentary 30-minute conversation to confirm the fit. If the project is not a good match, I will not waste our time. No delegation, no subcontracting, and no mass-mailed pitches scrounging for scraps. Among other billing options, I can invoice as a direct third-party expense to your client, eliminating the overhead of a full-time hire at the expert rate this level of work commands and creating a potentially allocable litigation expense in prevailing-party matters.
Flexible service options. One specialist ready to take the mound when the championship is on the line.
