I have a degree in education in addition to Master’s level credits with a major in Administration plus one year of law school. In one more recent position, I fielded all incoming client calls for the firm’s partners and was responsible for scheduling/e-filing calendaring/drafting of correspondence, pleadings, etc. I offer a unique combination of business experience, practical legal proficiency and administrative experience working in both the private financial and legal sectors. Outlined below are the qualifications I would bring:

* 12 years of litigation experience in Michigan

* Office 365 proficiency;

* Strong written and verbal communication skills; drafting of legal pleadings and correspondence;

* Excellent organizational skills;

* Ability to integrate into a fast paced environment;

* Strong work ethic, punctuality, professionalism, pride in my work product;

*E-filing in District, Circuit and Federal Court plus Mediation Tribunal The testimonials contained in my resume attest to my client skills. As for building productive professional relationships with adverse counsel, I subscribe to the belief that being on opposing sides of a case does not preclude cooperation and positive results. Sincerely,

Maxine Feldman
