The intersection of three worlds
PriorityLex exists at the intersection of three professional worlds I've lived in for more than two decades: legal practice, business operations, and international talent development.
Legal Foundation (20+ Years)
I've been a practicing attorney for over 20 years, including:
- •8 years running an active immigration litigation practice where I learned firsthand the crushing weight of routine legal work.
- •Contract management roles at Marathon Petroleum, United Airlines, and CenturyLink.
- •Direct experience with the bottlenecks that prevent small firms from competing.
The AI Inflection Point (2024-2025)
The modern legal toolkit has exploded beyond just ChatGPT. Today's most efficient firms aren't just "using AI"—they are orchestrating a complex ecosystem of tools for drafting, research, transcription, and analysis. But having the tools isn't enough. You need operators who know which tool to pull for which task, and how to make them work together.
The bottleneck is no longer technology; it's talent. I saw that firms were overwhelmed by the options. They didn't need another subscription; they needed a pilot who had already logged the flight hours across the entire landscape.
I realized I could solve this. I had 20 years of legal practice experience to design attorney-safe workflows, 5 years of offshore talent development to train high-performing assistants, and operational expertise to build repeatable systems.
Leveraging my 5 years of experience in offshoring, I developed the Star Player Certification to train professionals not just on one platform, but on the full spectrum of modern legal AI. We provide the missing link: dedicated assistants who arrive ready to deploy the right tools for the right job.
Why this matters
Most legal AI solutions are built by technologists who don't understand legal practice. Most offshore staffing companies are built by recruiters who don't understand legal reasoning.
PriorityLex is different because it's built by someone who has lived in both worlds.
"I've drafted the discovery requests. I've managed the case files. I've felt the pressure of billable hour targets. This isn't theory. It's a system built from 20 years of practice."
The Star Player Certification Program
In 2024-2025, we developed and launched the Star Player Certification—a comprehensive training program that transforms talented offshore professionals into attorney-ready AI legal assistants.
