About

Professional summary

I am a senior legal assistant and legal operations professional with more than a decade of experience supporting attorneys, clients, courts, and legal teams. My background includes litigation support, bankruptcy-related legal processes, legal document preparation, case management, court filing, and trial preparation.

I currently support Rise Law Group remotely, where I train legal assistants, process discovery for high-asset matters, communicate with witnesses, collect records, draft legal correspondence, and organize case materials. I help maintain efficient workflows while providing responsive support to clients and attorneys.

Previously, I worked as a Legal Account Manager at PacWest Credit, where I drafted claims and reaffirmation agreements, monitored bankruptcy cases, filed court documents, coordinated process servers, managed customer payments, and trained legal interns. I also supported compliance by tracking legal and regulatory changes.

My earlier legal assistant experience included preparing briefs, motions, pleadings, exhibits, witness materials, and electronic filings. I am experienced in legal research, client intake, scheduling court appearances and depositions, billing support, document management, and communication with opposing counsel and court personnel.

I bring strong written and verbal communication, organization, legal research, training, and customer service skills. I am committed to accuracy, confidentiality, timely case support, and helping legal teams deliver effective outcomes for their clients.
