“I believe Paralegals lay the foundation for Attorneys to not only meet Client expectations but be one step ahead. My ability to anticipate, intuit needs, and organize our practice at a highly skilled level starts with knowing both our Clients’ goals and preferences and those of the Attorneys I support. I take great pride in this work.”
