ONLINE LEGAL WRITING PORTFOLIO
I have written about 5,000 law-related articles for the Internet and for print publications. The majority of these articles, covering personal injury topics, did not include my byline. Below, you will find a list of my bylined articles, which represent a smaller portion of my work and mostly cover areas outside of personal injury.
