Laura Leanza
@lauraleanza
Experienced legal professional specializing in personal injury case management and litigation support.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented legal professional with extensive experience managing high-volume personal injury caseloads from intake through pre-litigation and suit. I excel at client communication, case organization, and coordinating medical and insurance processes to advance claims efficiently.
At my current role I manage approximately 100 personal injury files, independently investigate cases, establish No-Fault and Bodily Injury claims, and maintain accurate records in Litify to ensure attorneys have up-to-date information. I routinely obtain police reports, witness statements, liability and PIP limits, and track liens and expenses.
Previously I supported executives and attorneys as an executive assistant and legal assistant, organizing calendars, property and closing documents, training new staff, and preparing materials for No-Fault arbitrations and insurance interactions. I bring strong Microsoft Office skills, a methodical approach to deadlines and statutes for New York and New Jersey, and a focus on delivering excellent client service.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Management and an associate degree in liberal arts, and I am adaptable, task-oriented, and skilled at problem mediation and resolution. I seek to apply my litigation support experience and client-facing strengths to help a legal team improve case outcomes and operational efficiency.
