What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated legal assistant with extensive experience supporting attorneys in various areas of general legal practice. Currently, I work at James Bates Brannan Groover, where I manage complex document preparation, maintain client files, and ensure the accuracy of legal documents through detailed proofreading. My role requires me to interact with clients and professionals in a courteous and professional manner, which I excel at due to my strong communication skills.
Previously, I provided administrative support at Oconee Law Firm, where I coordinated attorney calendars and assisted with legal document preparation. My internship at Mercer University allowed me to hone my writing and editing skills, producing multiple articles and copyediting publications. I am proficient in various software tools, including Adobe Premiere Pro and Microsoft Office Suite, which enhance my ability to perform administrative tasks efficiently.
