About

Professional summary

I am a bilingual legal operations and client management professional with more than nine years of experience supporting litigation, legal services, client intake, and process improvement. I work fluently in English and Spanish and bring a client-focused, detail-oriented approach to complex legal matters.

I have managed portfolios of more than 400 clients and contractors, coordinating assignments, deadlines, status reporting, document collection, and communications across attorneys, paralegals, and administrative teams. My background includes commercial litigation, landlord-tenant matters, criminal defense, matrimonial and family law, probate, consumer fraud, employment litigation, and ADA matters.

I build and improve legal workflows using Clio Manage, Asana, AI tools, and other case-management platforms. I use these systems to strengthen task tracking, intake processes, filing calendars, document requests, follow-up procedures, and cross-functional coordination.

My legal support experience includes drafting pleadings, motions, discovery materials, affidavits, settlement agreements, contracts, and procedural filings for attorney review. I also conduct legal research, manage discovery and document productions, prepare factual chronologies, and monitor court dockets and filing requirements.

I have supervised and trained legal support staff, served as a key operational contact for clients and contractors, and supported government-funded legal-service programs. I am open to opportunities where I can apply legal operations, project management, client service, and litigation-support expertise in a remote environment.
