At DEHAL & ASSOCIATES INC., I provided paralegal and administrative support on RAF and personal injury matters from lodgement through settlement. I prepared and proofread legal documents under attorney supervision, including mandates, summonses, affidavits and discovery-related documents.
I coordinated consultations and attorney diaries, tracked deadlines, and followed up on medical records, police reports and medico-legal documentation. I also assisted with organising medical evidence and researching RAF claim disputes using case law and supporting medical evidence.
For settlement-related administration, I helped organise loss-of-earnings documentation and schedules supporting damages, and maintained payment schedules and related financial records. I kept physical and electronic legal files organised and provided progress updates to clients.
At RAY NKONYENI MUNICIPALITY, I supported legal and compliance managers with administrative tasks, legal correspondence, file management and deadline monitoring. I hold a Paralegal Qualification from Boston City Campus and Business College and am currently pursuing an LLB through UNISA; I also provide IsiZulu–English interpretation during consultations.
