Summary

I am a 30 year career litigation paralegal and notary public for the states of Louisiana and Florida. Plaintiff's work for 23 years and Defense work for 8 years. I am extremely personable, and very organized. I have the capabilities of working well independently, or with little input from my attorney. I am a fast learner. I have been through numerous jury trials and enjoy the experience thoroughly. My philosophy is to approach every problem with a potential solution. I believe, and have been told, I would be a great asset to any attorney/assistant team.
