What I do. And what I don’t.
I am not a paralegal, and I don't touch legal work — no research, no drafting, no client advice, no case strategy. Everything I do is office administration, under your direction:
Calls, texts, and emails answered promptly
Consultations and prospective-client follow-up
Calendar management and client-detail upkeep
Invoicing, payment reminders, and billing catch-up
If it requires a law degree, it's yours. If it's everything around the law degree, it's mine.
The boring details, on purpose.
Two years inside a law firm taught me attorneys don't want a promise. They want a process. So here’s how it works:
A signed confidentiality agreement is in place before I see a single client name — yours, or your firm's own agreement if you'd rather use it.
I work inside the systems your firm already uses. Nothing gets exported, duplicated, or stored outside your existing tools unless you ask me to.
Client and matter details are handled the same way they'd be handled by in-house staff: accessed only as needed, never shared outside your firm, never discussed outside the engagement.
You set the boundaries on what I see and touch. Narrow scope to start is normal, not a red flag.
If any of that raises a follow-up question, that's what the 15-minute call is for.
For two years, I worked inside a Manhattan commercial real estate law firm, supporting six attorneys — document production, calendar coordination, correspondence, filings, and deadline-sensitive client and court communication. I know what a missed deadline costs, because I watched what it took to prevent one, every day, for two years.
Before and after that, I spent four years as an executive assistant to C-suite leaders — a CFO, a CRO, a CMO — managing schedules, travel, and workloads at a level where nothing was allowed to slip. I also hold a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, which is a formal way of saying I look for the extra step in a process and remove it.
I'm one person, not a call center and not an offshore team. If you hire me, you get me — the same person on every call, who already knows your calendar, your clients, and how you like things done.
Flat monthly plans. What you see is what you pay.
Every plan includes calls, consultations, calendar, and billing. No per-minute charges, no setup fee, no add-on tiers.
Founding Client Rate
The first three attorneys who sign on get 20% off their first three months. In exchange, I ask for an honest testimonial once you've seen the work — good or lukewarm. That's the deal.
If it’s not working, you’re not stuck.
No contract. Month to month, cancel anytime, no exit fee. And if the first month isn't a fit — for any reason, no explanation needed — I'll refund the difference between what you used and what you paid.
You're not betting a year on someone you met a week ago. You're trying it for a month.
Fifteen minutes. That’s the ask.
Tell me what's piling up. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit — and if I'm not, I'll say so and we'll both have saved time.
