Legal Assistant
I am the legal assistant for four member attorneys. All handle various complex civil litigation matters. My number one responsibility is to take care of anything that frees them to handle more extensive tasks that require a lawyer’s attention. I monitor their mail, emails, telephone calls and calendars. I generate letters and basic pleadings wherein they can pick up and insert the more complicated language and information. I keep their physical and computer files organized and up-to-date. Most of our work is done on the computer and through various court websites. I maintain a high skill level of all of our existing computer software programs and Internet electronic filing systems and keep up-to-date on any new products or features that could be used to help make their caseload run more efficiently.
