LEGAL RESEARCH & WRITING FOR MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEYS
When everything is due at once, when your practice has expanded but you don’t want the expense of hiring a new associate, or when you just need a vacation, let me lighten your research and writing burden. I’m Roger Manwaring. I have more than 25 years’ experience as a Massachusetts attorney specializing in legal research and writing and the handling of appeals. After many years with a midsize Boston law firm, I started Lawyers’ Legal Research & Writing to provide high quality, cost-effective, outsourced legal research and writing services to Massachusetts lawyers in private and corporate practice.
Whether you need a quick list of citations or want to delegate an entire appellate brief, I can help. No project is too large or too small. Regardless of the project, Lawyers’ Legal Research & Writing offers exceptional research and writing at affordable prices. I never exceed an agreed-upon flat fee or budget.
WHY OUTSOURCE?
Take control of your schedule.
Researching and writing a winning brief takes time that you may not have. By outsourcing to Lawyers’ Legal Research and Writing, you can regain control of your schedule while ensuring that your client receives the highest quality research and writing.
Expand your practice.
Outsourcing lets you take on additional work from new or existing clients without the expense of hiring a new associate. By outsourcing on an as-needed, contract basis, you increase profits while avoiding additional fixed overhead costs.
Save your client money.
You probably don’t specialize in legal research. As a provider of outsourced legal services, I do. I’m likely to complete your project more efficiently than you could yourself, thereby reducing your costs and saving your client money (even if you add a reasonable profit).
Make a profit on outsourced research.
When you outsource legal research and writing, you can improve your bottom line by charging your client a premium, above the amount you pay me, so long as the total charge is reasonable. Since I likely charge less than you would for the same work, you can make a profit.
Level the playing field.
As a solo or small firm attorney, you may have limited resources to devote to legal research. However, as a provider of outsourced legal research and writing, I have access to a broad array of electronic and traditional research sources. By outsourcing, you can level the playing field, litigating successfully against larger adversaries.
TESTIMONIALS
- I recently retained Roger to assist me with a rather complex opposition to a Motion to Dismiss in Federal District Court. I had a very limited time to respond and address issues involving federal jurisdiction, minimum contacts, the Long Arm Statute and forum non conveniens, among others. Roger’s work product was exceptional and delivered on time as promised. The resulting memorandum was delivered to me ‘signature ready’ and formatted for e-filing with the federal court. His writing is concise and his arguments are well considered. It is clear to me that he puts a considerable amount of research and effort into his work and his legal writing is technically superb. I recommend Roger without hesitation. My only concern is that in time he’ll be too busy when I call again!
- Roger excels at writing appellate briefs and difficult dispositive motions and oppositions. I trust that work assigned to him will be done on time and will meet the highest professional standards. In short, a project given to Roger is one I don’t need to worry about. Roger has done work for me on a wide range of legal issues. In every case, he has added value and benefited my client. Roger is an absolute pleasure to work with and I recommend him without reservation. He is the best legal researcher and writer I have encountered in my 19 years of practice."
- If you need the services of the best brief writer in Boston, call Roger Manwaring. Before I retired from practice, in December 2011, Roger worked with me at Barron & Stadfeld, P.C. for many years, assisting with pleadings, motion practice, trial memoranda and appellate briefs. I depended upon him for his keen intellect, quick grasps of legal issues, skill at legal research and his ability to write clearly and succinctly about even the most complex of legal and factual issues. Among his other great talents are his ability to function well under pressure and to be very efficient in the use of his time. I always felt that the two of us could, and did, compete successfully with much larger law firms that assigned numerous attorneys to a case."
