about
Just Write Legal
Built on Court Experience. Focused on Execution.
Just Write Legal provides substantive legal writing and litigation strategy support exclusively for attorneys. The work is deliberate, disciplined, and shaped by an understanding of how cases are actually reviewed and decided — on the written record.
JWL was founded to address a gap that becomes obvious inside the court system but is rarely discussed openly:
strong advocacy does not always translate into strong writing, and writing is where cases are often won or lost.
Where the Record Is Made
After more than 20 years of experience working within courts, alongside judges, and in direct support of litigation, the founder of Just Write Legal observed a consistent pattern.
Many attorneys are effective oral advocates but struggle to translate their arguments onto the page. Others are operating under relentless deadline pressure, particularly solos and small firms managing active dockets. And some attorneys simply do not enjoy writing, even though research, analysis, and drafting are among the most time-intensive and outcome-determinative aspects of litigation.
Courts, however, rely on the written record.
Motions, briefs, memoranda of law, discovery papers, and appellate filings are reviewed carefully, often under time constraints of their own. Formatting, structure, issue framing, and procedural compliance matter. Clarity matters. Discipline matters. The quality of the writing often shapes how efficiently — and how favorably — a case moves.
Just Write Legal exists to ensure that strong arguments do not lose momentum on paper.
An Attorney-Only Practice
Just Write Legal works exclusively with attorneys.
The firm does not represent clients and does not provide legal advice to the public.
Instead, JWL functions as an extension of the legal team, providing execution-level support under attorney supervision and authority. The work is designed to be suitable for billing as drafting, research, or motion practice, subject to each firm’s billing practices.
This model allows attorneys to:
-
Maintain control over client relationships and strategy
-
Manage workload under real-world deadline pressure
-
Preserve quality on the written record
-
Scale support without adding permanent staff
Court-Informed Perspective
Before founding Just Write Legal, the firm’s founder worked in senior court administration, including supervising a civil court part. That experience provides a vantage point most legal writers never have: insight into how filings are actually received, processed, reviewed, and evaluated inside the system.
That court-informed perspective shapes every engagement.
JWL writing reflects:
-
Judicial workflow and docket realities
-
Court staff review processes
-
Procedural expectations and compliance requirements
-
Common drafting errors that delay or derail matters
The focus is not academic perfection, but effective execution — writing that respects the reader, the rules, and the record.
Systems Thinking Beyond JWL
The founder of Just Write Legal is also the Founder and National President of a national nonprofit focused on entrepreneurship.
Through the organization she built a national pro bono legal services program that partners with more than 30 law firms across 35 states to support entrepreneurs and nonprofits. That program has been recognized by the American Bar Association for its work expanding access to legal support.
While distinct from Just Write Legal, this systems-building work reinforces the same core understanding:
that structure, clarity, and execution — not just knowledge — determine outcomes.
A Disciplined Philosophy
Across more than two decades of court exposure and litigation support, one principle has remained constant:
Writing is advocacy.
Structure is strategy.
Clarity is leverage.
Just Write Legal was built for attorneys who understand that reality — and who want their written work to reflect the same strength as their oral advocacy.
