Research & Writing for Attorneys & Journalists

Are you an attorney, journalist or other professional looking for support on a research or writing project? Let’s talk.

Quick contact: RJB@rjberfangerlaw.com

  • With more than 25 years of experience as a professional journalist, and more than 10 years of experience as an attorney and adjunct professor, including National Environmental Policy Act compliance and other environmental law topics; criminal law, expungements, and post-conviction relief; family law and child welfare litigation; criminal and civil appeals; and First Amendment Law and other Media Law topics; I can offer my research and writing skills to provide services to other attorneys and writers.

  • Past assignments have included writing and research support on appellate briefs (statements of fact, analysis, citation reviews); motions for summary judgment and motions to dismiss; research on employment law, property law, eminent domain, probate law, environmental law, and family law, including child welfare and adoptions. I appreciate learning, researching, and writing about a variety of legal areas, whether you need a basic memo or are on deadline for a draft of a motion or appellate brief.

  • Contact me about rates for contract research and writing, which are competitive and typically lower than most contract attorneys’ hourly rates. 

  • If you’re looking to update your marketing materials, I can draft blog articles and profiles for your website or social media.

  • Are you an author or journalist looking for help with research for an article, book, documentary, or podcast that involves legal or historical documents? Let’s talk!
