Practice Summary
I worked in a large New Orleans firm for 18 years handling complex commercial litigation cases (think: LOTS of paper). Eventually, soaring overhead, crazy billable hours, and mindless bureaucracy left me completely burned out. But then I discovered how to become paperless, which enabled me to automate key workflows (instead of begging people to do the work and then stay on top of them to make sure they did it right). My low-cost website attracted a steady flow of clients, which made my solo practice financially successful as well. Now, I help other lawyers who want to modernize their practices to work less yet earn more (plus spend more time away from the office relaxing!) I give them a strategic blueprint for leveraging technology that explains everything in bite-sized chunks. And I provide ongoing guidance so that they can keep streamlining their practices week-by-week. Handled a variety of business litigation matters in state and federal courts, including Franchise Law disputes, trademark, copyright, and non-compete issues. Handled complex business disputes including antitrust, banking, internet issues, products liability, class action, and securities law.
