As Seen In:

Hey There! I'm Christie!

With 18 years of experience as a paralegal in family law, estate planning, insurance defense, probate, contracts, and litigation, I’ve seen it all. I earned my paralegal education from Tennessee State University and hold a certification as a patent paralegal. I'm a Middle Tennessee girl who is a proud mom of two amazing adult kids and a happy Mimi.

I've made it my mission to help fellow paralegals break free from the 9–5 and build thriving freelance businesses—on their own terms.

MY APPROACH

I've Created a Structured, Peaceful Way of Working That Supports My Nervous System, Boosts My Confidence and is Highly Profitable.

Working in a traditional law firm often leads to burnout, stress, and feeling like you're stuck on someone else’s schedule.

This legal world wasn’t designed for your freedom — but that doesn’t mean you can’t thrive on your own terms.

If you’re a paralegal dreaming of more flexibility, trying to navigate the typical 9–5 grind can feel exhausting, rigid, and unfulfilling.

You’ve probably felt the pressure to work endless hours, take on overwhelming caseloads, and sacrifice your personal life just to "make it."

But what you truly want is this:

-To be your own boss.

-To earn great money while having the time for your life.

-To build a business that feels empowering, sustainable, and yours.

And guess what? You can.

You don’t need to work harder — you need to work smarter. By simplifying your services, strengthening your client relationships, and building systems that support your unique strengths and lifestyle, you can create a freelance paralegal business that gives you true freedom.

Whether that support comes from trusted collaborators or streamlined processes — this is your space to design a business that finally fits you.
