I help U.S. law firms keep cases organized, deadlines moving, and repetitive work off the attorney’s plate. With experience supporting criminal defense, personal injury, family law, probate, and litigation matters, I bring a strong mix of legal support, case management, document review, discovery assistance, drafting support, and legal operations automation. My edge: I understand both the legal workflow and the systems behind it. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝: ⚖️ Legal Support • Discovery responses and propounding support • Case file organization and document management • Drafting support for pleadings, letters, demands, and summaries • Criminal defense docket checks and case updates • Personal injury medical records and billing follow-ups • Family law timelines, evidence organization, and correspondence ⚙️ Law Firm Automation • CRM and case management cleanup • Workflow automation and task reminders • Legal operations process improvement • AI-assisted workflows using Claude.ai • API, webhook, and no-code/low-code integrations 🛠️ Tools I work with: Clio, MyCase, Lawmatics, Filevine, Smokeball, GoHighLevel, Make, Zapier, n8n, Claude.ai, APIs, webhooks, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Notion, and case management systems. I work best with law firms that need reliable legal support plus someone who can improve the workflow behind the scenes. I am especially a good fit for roles focused on case support, discovery, legal documents, CRM cleanup, and automation, rather than high-volume phone intake or receptionist work. ✨ Need a legal assistant who can support the casework and fix the workflow?

If you’re looking for someone who truly understands how law firms and businesses operate behind the scenes, you’re in the right place. I’m a legal and administrative professional with nearly 5 years of experience supporting U.S. and Australian lawyers, business owners, and nonprofit organizations. I work mainly in estate planning, corporate, employment, nonprofit, and personal injury law, and my goal is simple: to make your workday easier and your systems run smoother. I handle legal research, document drafting, client communication, billing and trust accounting, and overall workflow management. I’m very comfortable working with Clio, Xero, and LawPay, and I also help research, implement, and integrate CRM and legal software so your team actually enjoys using the systems in place. Beyond legal work, I support day-to-day operations — from managing calendars, appointments, and bookings, to creating clean visuals in Canva, building basic websites through Wix, setting up domains via GoDaddy, and helping businesses establish their online presence by setting up Google Business profiles. If it helps your business run better, I’m happy to take it on. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) with a focus on ICT and eSTEM, and I also bring over 2 years of call center experience in telecommunications, eCommerce, and online retail platforms like Amazon — which means I know how to talk to your clients professionally and handle high-volume communication with care.
