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 and legal assistants upscale their skill set or start their own freedom filled businesses if that's the path they're looking for.
