I can't tell you how often I review an opposing LCP and am appalled at the dreadful spelling, grammar, punctuation, and yes, organization. It's so unprofessional-looking and detracts from what might otherwise be a good work product. There has been a similar thread going on one of the other groups, and I would like to second the recommendation made by one of our peers: Get a professional editor to look over your work and improve it before it goes out the door. If you're concerned about HIPAA, you can do a Search/Change All on your document, change the patient name to XXXX, and then change it back when your editor returns your work to you.
