PARALEGAL, MELODY!
EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER
I have been working with creative works such as copyrights and trademarks. I have over a decade of experience as a paralegal in boutique and BigLaw firms. My goal has always been to assist solo practitioners and trademark law firms in optimizing their processes and achieving precision in their trademark operations.
Apart from providing trademark paralegal services, I am also passionate about legal operations strategies. I gained this knowledge from a previous role I held at a law firm in Texas. During a phone interview with the firm, I identified inefficiencies in their day to day systems and suggested ways to help improve them. The firm was impressed with our conversation and decided to hire me on the spot.
"I'm not your typical paralegal"
As a digital product creator, I specialize in creating resources related to trademark, copyright, and business practices. These resources are designed for solo attorneys or those with a growing team. The Legal Oats Template Shop has already helped more than 100 law firms streamline their operations, provide legal solutions, and achieve more success within their firms.
I graduated from the University of Memphis with a dual degree in Legal Business Affairs and Music Business (BLS). I received my Paralegal Certificate from Boston University before moving to Texas.
Prior to working as a paralegal, I was the youngest black member on the Memphis & Shelby County Music Commission board. During my tenure on the board, I contributed to establishing and maintaining a Legal Clinic for music professionals and entrepreneurs.
Currently, I am located in Texas and available to work as an in-house trademark paralegal and legal operations specialist for solo practitioners or law firms. At LPS, I provide comprehensive services that will help refine and execute your firm's processes as efficiently as possible, allowing you to focus on building your law firm's legacy.

BigLaw referral job opportunity, from previous colleague
I thought this was my segue job until I was promoted to a more prominent role within the firm. In my previous position, I trained the administrative legal department, managed filing and reception, and created SOPs. However, I wanted more.
Was pregnant with my "littleBEE" and had NO CLUE!
Here's the kicker: I had no idea I was pregnant due to working long hours.
LPS was created, and I'm pretty sure 'littleBee's' first
word was
U-S-P-T-0
With one arm holding my baby and the other holding the laptop, LPS was born. I truly owe thanks to my husband and family for pushing me.
