Recognized Litigation Support Leaders 2025

As a Legal Storyteller, I bridge the gap between the legal and media worlds, using my background in investigative journalism and video production to deliver powerful narratives for attorneys and their clients. My work centers on crafting settlement documentaries, day-in-the-life videos, and demand videos—stories that go beyond mere facts to resonate with the human experience. I’ve seen firsthand the impact of strategic storytelling on legal outcomes, and I’m committed to helping attorneys communicate their cases in ways that drive results. A former professional screenwriter with nearly two decades of investigative reporting and producing experience, including three Emmy nominations, I bring a high standard of journalism and a creative, impactful approach to every project. My process is research-driven: I dig deep through public records, analyze court documents, and engage with the finer details to uncover elements that give each story its fullest context. Whether it’s uncovering OSHA reports, logging body-worn camera footage, or bringing the voices of families to life, I believe every narrative should be built on a foundation of truth and emotional clarity. I currently lead Clear Eyed Media, specializing in legal media services and leveraging my experience to transform complex legal stories into compelling, accessible content. From wrongful death cases to personal injury, I’m dedicated to creating narratives that support attorneys in securing fair settlements for their clients. I aim to support legal professionals with media that not only informs but also resonates with adjusters, defendants, and sometimes even juries. I also run Tribute Video Pro, producing personalized tribute videos celebrating lives and moments worth remembering. This work has allowed me to bring a similar storytelling approach to personal occasions, blending professional videography with an intimate look at individuals’ lives. Each project reminds me of storytelling's power to connect and convey meaning, whether in a legal context or a personal one. Driven by a belief in the power of story to influence and inspire, I’m here to help attorneys and clients present their cases authentically and precisely. I see storytelling as an essential tool for justice and creating lasting impact.
