I am an attorney based in San Diego. I have a vast amount of legal research and writing experience. I have written appellate briefs, trial briefs, motions in limine, legal articles, etc. I worked for a justice in the Fourth District Court of Appeal and worked on two opinions, one of which is published. In addition, I will be clerking for a federal judge here in the Southern District of California next year, and am looking for work until then. I am particularly interested in persuasive appellate brief writing, but I am open to doing any sort of trial work, research, or writing.
