Documentation and Email: I assist you in creating clear, concise written communications that align with your goals and factor in the conflict nature of the recipient(s). To date, I have helped clients with documentation related to personal, professional, and legal (malpractice, personal injury, workplace retaliation, workplace discrimination, and probate) disputes.
When stakes are high—time, money, mental health, physical health, relationships, career—using a misguided tone and verbiage (such as instructing AI to make the tone sound "strong and legal") can backfire. My education and experience help you achieve the sweet spot based on the layered context of your dispute and psychology of the parties.
​
When we are entrenched in conflict, the ability to keep correspondence constructive can suffer, especially when one is emotionally charged. Even if you are angry and frustrated, you can feel free to say what you truly want or need to say in your draft email, and I will edit it using language and customized strategies best serve your ultimate goal. Some clients find this process therapeutic.
I operate with the highest standards of discretion. All correspondence must meet with your final approval, and ultimately your voice needs to sound authentic. I work with you, but you have control of your dispute
Before you press a potentially-regrettable <SEND>, let me help you refine your communications to decrease the chance of escalation, help you feel heard, drive toward a successful resolution, restore harmony, and create a digital trail that stands up to potential legal scrutiny.
​
Victim Impact Statements: Tapping into my experience as a published, awarded fiction author (under a pen name), I help you tell your story for maximum impact. As a mental health advocate, I am sensitive to the effects of PTSD when you are the victim of a crime. I will help you prepare your victim impact statement while respecting both your vulnerability and your privacy. I want you to feel heard, whether for a Parole Board or a Sentencing Hearing.
