Professional Profile

  • After 13 years in solo and small firm legal practice, I'm now focusing my efforts technology consulting, document automation and web development, and professional practice and small business optimization.

    I've worked with some of the worlds largest law firms to implement their conversion to NetDocuments, the premier cloud-based document management system. Moving millions of sensitive and mission-critical documents across platforms has required in-depth customer data and needs analysis, project management, attention to detail, and the ability to interact with and train C-level personnel, attorneys and staff.

    I have successfully achieved dramatic reductions in client acquisition costs and client service management costs through leveraged technology and improved work flow processes. My background in general and legal research, writing, marketing, communications, project management and information technology technical skills are an asset to any organization.

    The skills I developed managing a dynamic, deadline-driven consumer law practice with dozens of open cases at any time and as a research project manager for a technology development company will allow me to help you move your project, company or firm forward on-time and under-budget.
