Before founding Mazur Legal Research, I spent seven years as a litigator at a boutique firm in Miami. For the past 14+ years, legal research and writing is all I’ve done – full time, for attorneys and firms across the country.

I’m not a marketplace or a platform. When you hire me, you work directly with me. I lead with analysis, writing, and strategic thinking. I develop arguments from scratch, build frameworks for complex filings, sharpen existing briefs, and conduct deep legal research.

All work product is white-labeled. Your name goes on the filing, backed by research and writing you can stand behind in court.

Why Not AI?

What a real attorney brings to your filing

Original argument development

I don’t assemble text from patterns. I develop legal arguments – identifying the strongest theories, structuring them for persuasive impact, and anticipating where opposing counsel will push back.

Verified citations, every time

Every authority in every filing is verified through Westlaw. KeyCited, current, and real. No fabricated cases, no manufactured holdings, no risk to your bar license.

Strategic judgment

Which arguments to lead with. Which to cut. Where a court is likely to push back. These calls come from 20+ years of analyzing how courts actually decide cases – not from a probability model.

Court-calibrated writing

I write in a clear, direct, professional register that earns credibility with the bench. The writing sounds like a seasoned attorney because it comes from one.

14 years of trust, earned per project

My practice runs on repeat clients and referrals. No anonymous freelancers, no rotating staff, no quality lottery. One attorney whose next engagement depends on this one.

Your reputation, protected

Your client’s confidential information stays confidential. The work product is yours. The quality is consistent. Your name goes on it with confidence.

Beyond Project-by-Project

Your fractional legal writing department

Most attorneys start with a single project. Some realize they need something more: reliable, ongoing writing capacity they can count on month to month, without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.

That’s the fractional arrangement. I embed into your practice as a dedicated legal writing associate. You get a monthly block of hours at a preferred rate, priority scheduling, and faster turnaround. I learn your voice, your judges, your opposing counsel. The quality is there from day one – the familiarity just means I can jump into new matters faster.

This is a different relationship from one-off project work. It’s built for firms that need writing support as a consistent part of how they operate, rather than as an occasional overflow solution.

  • Monthly hour blocks at preferred rates, with priority scheduling and faster turnaround
  • Hours beyond the block bill at the standard rate – no surprises
  • 30-day commitments that scale with your caseload – no long-term contracts
  • Direct communication with Ryan on every matter
  • Every deliverable research-verified, citation-checked, and ready to file
How It's Different

Project work vs. fractional associate

Project work is simple: you send a matter, I send an estimate, we go. $185/hr, 7-10 business days, 50% deposit. No ongoing commitment. This is where most attorneys start.

A fractional arrangement is for firms with recurring writing needs. You commit to a monthly block of hours. In return, you get preferred rates, faster standard turnaround, and priority access to my calendar. The block is use-it-or-lose-it monthly – if your caseload drops, you scale back or pause. No penalty.

Ideal for solo and small firms that send enough work to justify a dedicated writing resource. Specific rates depend on volume and scope – reach out and I’ll put together a proposal.

Profitability

How Outsourcing Legal Research and Writing Services Makes Your Firm More Profitable

Hiring a full-time associate means salary, benefits, office space, bar dues, CLE, and management overhead – whether you have enough work to keep them busy or not. Outsourcing to Mazur Legal Research means you pay only for the hours worked on your specific project.

You can bill your clients for outsourced legal work. Under ABA Formal Opinion 08-451, attorneys may pass through the cost of contract legal services – including a reasonable surcharge – provided the total fee to the client is reasonable.

At $185/hour, most attorneys bill their clients at a higher rate for the same work. The margin between what you pay me and what you bill your client is pure profit – with zero overhead and zero risk.

This isn’t a cost. It’s a revenue-generating resource that scales with your caseload and disappears when you don’t need it.
