Get on the path to results today.
I decided I wanted to be a paralegal back when we didn't have the internet, computers or fax machines. Back then, there were no schools.
The legal system in LA in the 1980's was such where it was a "stepping stone" process to become an attorney. You'd start out as a legal secretary, and then move your way up to legal assistant. As you worked to become an attorney, you'd then do the paralegal work - which consisted of wading through libraries of books, articles, court cases, etc.
The legal field had "rock stars" you admired such as Gerry Spence, Melvin Belli, Marvin Mitchelson, etc. If you wanted to be trained as a paralegal back then, you had to find an attorney who saw your potential. I went and found an attorney who had a law library in-house and agreed to train me.
After spending two years with him receiving this one-on-one training in all types of law because he had a general practice, I saw the invention of Court TV. The 90's saw some of the biggest cases in history on trial, and these firms needed trained litigation support because they were literally on display for the world back then.
I spent a few years working on some of these huge trials - and then came the 1990's. The legal field suddenly had to convert to a digital process. All the systems had to be converted so I found myself going from office to office assisting them with adopting these new systems which had now become computerized. I got pregnant with my daughter in 1991, and decided I wanted to be a "stay at home" mom. By doing this office conversion work it allowed me to be home with my daughter after school.
This is when I started freelancing and working from home - so I could be with her as much as possible. She's now an adult and Covid has changed things in the legal field once again where even trials are being done remotely. I'm now trying to find ways to support attorneys and firms with whatever their temporary, overflow and/or virtual needs are today. I will be returning to law school and working towards becoming an attorney now she's an adult and my family obligations have been fulfilled.
Let's talk about how I can provide you with assistance with your paralegal needs today.
Get me the materials by fax, email, even by overnight delivery - I then prepare whatever the file needs whether it's discovery, motion writing, brief drafting, trial preparation, calendaring, etc. I then email them back to you for review, and take care of e-filing and service.
Do you need large files scanned and prepared as exhibits? Maybe you need someone to take over the phones while you're traveling or juggling multiple hearings. Whatever your legal support needs are, I can assist you.
If you're in southern Nevada, I can come into the office to take over a desk for a day or longer depending on your needs. Maybe you need time to fill that position while interviewing, or maybe you just are experiencing a temporary overflow need. Whatever the reason, I can jump in and fill in seamlessly. I dress appropriately for a law office so you are represented professionally as well.
