Summary

I am eager to secure a position as a Legal Office Support Assistant I, bringing over eight years of combined experience in legal clerical work and child support case management within the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department. My four years as a clerical professional have honed my skills in managing sensitive documentation, maintaining organized filing systems, and performing general office duties, such as ordering supplies and distributing mail. Subsequently, my four years as a Child Support Specialist II have deepened my understanding of legal procedures, including preparing and processing various legal documents, forms, and correspondence, requiring knowledge of legal terminology. I have consistently demonstrated the ability to manage confidential information with discretion, maintain accurate case records, and coordinate effectively with attorneys, coworkers, and clients. My goal-oriented approach and resilience under pressure make me a strong candidate for the Legal Office Support Assistant I position.
