Re: Litigation Secretary / Legal Assistant / Paralegal Position
To Whom This May Concern:
I am an experienced litigation/corporate legal secretary/assistant who has 20 years of extensive experience. Attached is my resume for your review.
I am a serious, hardworking, detail-oriented, forward-moving, sharp, focused, and reliable individual who is a quick learner and an efficient multitasker. I am a self-starter who is self-motivated to manage and timely complete projects.
Here are some responsibilities I enjoy performing:
(1) Processing efilings/court filings for federal, state, and appellate courts and arbitration;
(2) Organizing and maintaining trial and master calendars for cases consisting of 1-200+ defendants or 40 new cases received on one occasion;
(3) Filling out forms, drafting shells, archiving emails, and handling court mailings;
(4) Locating and developing relevant case info for easy access to handling initial pleadings, motions, discovery, meet and confer letters, subpoenas, document productions, requests for dismissal, notices of settlement, settlement agreements, and settlement checks; and
(5) Word processing in formatting/fixing impossible complicated documents, heavy revisions, bookmarking, and Bates labeling.
I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you in detail regarding your Firm’s needs and my experience. Please email me at ad1is4@r.postjobfree.com or call my cell at 310-***-****. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
