Day-to-day activities• File motions in different court houses• Obtain real estate stamps and file deeds and mortgages in multiple counties• Purchase zoning permits, request tax records, and file wills and letters of office• Pick-up and deliver client paperwork• General office workSkill Development- The most valuable skill I developed was the ability to communicate and establish relationships with the city employees that handled the work I brought them. In an environment such as the bustling court house and city hall in downtown Chicago, building personal relationships with the employees had its benefits. Some of those benefits included preferential treatment that saved the business time and true enjoyment of my time because I had meaningful conversations throughout the day. I also developed my organizational skills through handling multiple clients' documents, checks, and other paper work on a daily basis. Additionally, I had to decide the order in which I would complete multiple assignments in many locations with the goal of being as efficient as possible. This aspect of the job helped further develop my time management skills.
