Lexis Advance Customer Testimonial
Most of my clients are of meager means. Much of what I do is pro bono, or what I call low bono, where they can afford to pay, but far less than the going rate. What I like most about these clients is that they are almost always winners on the facts alone, they just need representation.

Using Lexis Advance has positively impacted my job performance because I know I am getting an accurate search result because it allows me to plug in as much information I want in order to gather what I need. For example, when searching death records, a person’s first and last name can yield many death records, but when you narrow it down by state and town you get the exact results you need. This is crucial for my part in the process because if someone becomes deceased during the process, we need to proceed in a different way.
