I am a lawyer by training, but a writer at heart. My experience includes two years as a federal court law clerk and 10+ years in private practice. I am no longer a practicing attorney because I would prefer the flexibility and variety of work that a career as a freelance writer would provide. I am a stickler for grammar and timeliness. You could call me a nerd and I wouldn't be offended.
