    Hi, I'm putting together a packet for small claims court, and need help organizing-- because my brain is fried! I have all the pages, but must add exhibit numbers, paginate, and create separate cover pages for each section (to keep thematic.) I don't think it will take more than a few hours if we're doing it together. All are hard copies already printed; I will be adding exhibit numbers and paginating by hand, and we can type bulleted info ( already prepared just need organizing.) Please respond if you are a paralegal or professional writer or business writer -- and take pride in excellent presentation. I am seeking a sophisticated, super-smart individual. Thank you!
