Richard A. McFarlane, J.D., Ph.D., will provide you with well-researched, well-written research memos, pleadings, motions, and briefs so you can spend your time in court, with clients, or managing the other aspects of your business and your life. His research will be complete and thorough. Dr. McFarlane does not do "headnote research"; that is, simply relying on the case headnotes instead of reading and understanding how a case supports or refutes some legal point. Whenever possible, legal points will be supported by multiple, relevant authorities. Depending on the legal question, authorities may include statutes and cases, of course, but might also include out-of-state cases, legislative history, law reviews, treatises, and practice guides. Depending on your requirements, the final work product may be anything from mere research notes or rough drafts for you to prepare your own pleadings, to completed motions or briefs needing only your signature before filing with the court clerk and service on opposing counsel. The finished work product will be clear, concise, and persuasive; something the judge will want to read. Dr. McFarlane will strive to complete your assignments on time and always strictly respect all client confidences.
