I am a solo practitioner who currently has the time and availability to work for other attorneys and law firms, in the capacity of contract attorney. My hourly rate as a contract attorney would be variably tailored to your specific project, based upon my level of experience within the practice areas in which you require assistance. My qualifications are as follows: I have been licensed in California since 2007, and am a graduate of UCLA (B.A., English, 2004), and of Loyola Law School (J.D., 2007). I have been published in two law reviews, and, while in law school, I served on The Loyola of Los Angeles Entertainment Law Review, as well as on Loyola's Scott Moot Court Honors Board, and on the Shearman Sterling Jessup International Moot Court team. Prior to becoming licensed in 2007, I served as a law clerk in litigation for four consecutive summers. I possess a wealth of experience, across a wide range of practice areas, encompassing all phases of litigation in both trial and appellate matters, including: written and oral law & motion practice; drafting appellate briefs; propounding and responding to written discovery; communicating with clients, witnesses, experts, the courts, and opposing counsel; supervising and conducting large-scale document reviews; taking and defending depositions; and mediations & settlement negotiations. Additionally, I have had transactional experience in negotiating and drafting contracts in practice areas which include: music and recording deals, website development consulting deals, and restaurant consulting deals. Feel free to visit my website at www.thecosgrovefirm.com, in order to learn more about my background, education, and experience. Again, contract rates are negotiable, depending upon your needs. Please reply here, with a telephone number where I can reach you, and I will be happy to discuss with you your specific needs, your requirements, and the manner in which I might best be of service to you. Thank.
