Mary Beth Riley-Wallis
I brought Melinda in as a Paralegal Intern and she was a real asset to us. She is very well organized, took on responsibility without being asked and very thorough. She accomplished tasks with very little oversight and she was a pleasure to work with. She reviewed contracts, estoppels, withdrew qualification from a few states, respond to subpoenas, assist in responding to interrogatories etc.
