My business was founded to provide reliable, professional paralegal services to clients and legal professionals seeking experienced support in the legal field. As an established freelance paralegal and independent contractor with over 10 years in business and more than 15 years of legal experience in Texas, I bring a strong foundation of knowledge, dedication, and integrity to every case I handle. My legal journey began in the early 2000s when I was first introduced to Texas litigation and administrative law. From that point forward, I developed a deep and lasting interest in the legal profession, continually expanding my knowledge and refining my skills. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in legal administration, executive-level support, and case management while working with sole practitioners, law firm partners, and various legal professionals. My background includes experience in real estate, litigation, and family law, where I have successfully managed case files, maintained court dockets, coordinated mediations, and supported attorneys in moving cases efficiently from inception to resolution. I am committed to proactive problem-solving, prioritizing tasks effectively, and maintaining the highest level of professional integrity to ensure quality work product and client satisfaction. In addition to my professional experience, I have pursued a strong academic foundation. I earned a pre-law degree from University of Houston–Clear Lake, graduating with a 3.5 GPA, along with completing 40 hours of mediation training. I also hold an Associate of Arts degree in General Studies from Austin Community College. Furthering my business education, I completed an Advanced Certificate of Management through the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business while pursuing MBA studies, driven by my passion for business development and operational excellence. My skill set is broad, well-rounded, and designed to support legal professionals at every stage of the legal process. I am proficient in drafting pleadings, motions, discovery requests and responses, subpoenas, legal correspondence, and other essential legal documents. I assist with e-filing, court communications, client relations, opposing counsel correspondence, investigations, deadline tracking, file reviews, and document analysis to ensure cases continue moving forward effectively. My experience also includes attending hearings, depositions, and personal injury jury trials. I pride myself on being highly organized, detail-oriented, and efficient in meeting time-sensitive deadlines. My strong communication skills, innovative approach to task completion, and careful tracking of billable and non-billable time contribute to exceptional time management and overall productivity. Clients can expect me to bring energy, motivation, and a positive attitude to every professional relationship. My mission is to provide exceptional legal support services to current and prospective clients, whether their needs are substantive, administrative, or secretarial in nature. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy Bible study, spending time in coffee shops, maintaining a healthy lifestyle through weightlifting and exercise, and caring for my family. As a dedicated single mother raising my teenage son while managing a lively household with two cats and a dog, I understand the importance of commitment, balance, and perseverance. I am truly excited about this professional journey and look forward to providing dependable, high-quality legal support services. I am eager to assist you with your legal support needs and welcome the opportunity to help you move forward with confidence. Thank you for considering my services.
