Summary
I am a consummate professional and an adaptive person. My wide array of skills is reflective of my ability to quickly assess a situation and do what is necessary. New challenges do not intimidate me and quite frankly, those are what I am seeking.
Initially, I became a paralegal because of my strong interest in our legal system and the protections it offers. At different points, I briefly stepped away from the profession to assist my husband in running his former business, run my own former small childcare business, and to provide home healthcare for various family members.
My experience spans the following:
Manage cases until disposition including initial file setup, procuring previously docketed Pleadings, Motions, Orders, procuring all prior discovery, deposition transcripts, procuring all available medical records, bills, and diagnostic studies.
Manage client litigation case file.
