NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Legal Operations Specialist and Virtual Legal Assistant with experience supporting U.S.-based law firms across Immigration, Personal Injury, and Estate matters. I combine legal knowledge with technology and administrative expertise to improve efficiency and reduce attorney workload.
At Ahaji Amos PLLC I optimized case management using Clio and Docketwise, created standardized document templates, and managed electronic court filings through Odyssey and eFileTexas to ensure timely, compliant submissions.
Previously at ABC Legal and Nomos Legal Practice I handled case intake, legal research, drafting, medical record review, and prepared petitions and application packages (including DS-260, I-130, I-129, I-140, I-765, I-485, N-400, and H-1B) to minimize RFEs and accelerate processing.
I hold certifications including Clio Certified Administrator, Virtual Assistant (ALX), and Certified Associate in Project Management (PMI), and I bring a detail-oriented, technology-forward approach to legal operations and client service.
