My Philosophy
I believe everyone looking for a legal research assistant deserves a dedicated and zealous advocate. I limit the number of simultaneous clients I have so I can minimize conflicts of interest and provide the highest level of service. I deliver thorough work product that is well-documented and streamlined for each and every customer.
Meet the Paranatrix
I am a one-woman army with a broad technical, scientific, and legal arsenal.
TESS SCHULMAN
a.k.a. The Paranatrix
I earned my BS degree in Chemistry & Physics and completed Ph.D. studies in Theoretical (Computational) Chemistry. Just for fun, I obtained my paralegal certification from an ABA-approved program at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC with a focus on corporate law, contracts, and "plain English" writing/translations instead of industry jargon & legalese. I'm also an NC Notary Public.
Professionally, I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry as a chemist, a few start-up companies as a software developer, and as a paralegal at various law firms and for the State of NC before making the leap to independent consultant.
I have also completed training as a patient advocate at National Center for Health Research (NC4HR) in Washington DC and volunteer for several patient support groups for those harmed by medical devices. I currently serve on the board of ASHES Nonprofit as the Science Communication Officer and the Chair of the Medical Device Problems Committee
