After 20 years of working in the trenches of trial practice, bankruptcy, and family law, she decided it was time for a career change. As both a former attorney and a consumer of legal services, legal marketing became her natural match.

She sees herself as a bridge between attorneys and their potential clients. A law firm website services two purposes: 1) Display Expertise, and 2) Offer reassurance and empathy. When an attorney can get these points across, they are more likely to convince potential clients to call their office.

As an attorney, she had to explain complex legal concepts to laypeople. Now, she uses that skill to produce engaging blog articles and streamline web content. She also ghost-writes longer pieces for attorneys who desire the exposure of being published on national platforms but do not have the time to produce this content on their own.

She assists attorneys both through Writer Access and independently. Currently, she manages the blog and website for a family law attorney and does the same for an employment law practitioner. She is also a major producer for a website regarding software licensing topics. While she feels comfortable with most legal areas, most of her work is performed for attorneys practicing personal injury, family, bankruptcy, employment, and small business law.

Her ability to grasp and explain legal topics transfers to other industries. While working for Writer Access, she produces content for car dealerships, real estate firms, and technology review sites.

With 20 years of experience in the legal industry, she offers unique insight not present with general writers. She understands what reassures clients and how attorneys can best reach them. This is especially true in legal areas that assist people who are vulnerable including employment discrimination, personal injury, family law, and workers' compensation.

Technology

12 Projects Completed

Fascinated with technological development most of her life, Jocelyn is both self-taught and well-read. Taking these skills to ghost writing was not difficult as Jocelyn produces product descriptions, reviews, and how-to guides. After knowing many "technophobes," Jocelyn likes to present technology in a friendly light as a streamlining tool for business, security and consumer functions.
