Rodriguez & Associates Trial Lawyers

• Legal Assistant

  • Jul 2013 - Dec 2017

  I was responsible to Manage, Support and do a FULL INTAKE all telephonic and in-person "legal" consultations that were received at the office. Evaluating cases efficiently is a delicate task that requires attention to detail while also being a compassionate listener. Mr. Rodriguez always says, "every person calling needs help". As a practice, I worked diligently on gathering all the relevant information needed to determine the ability to assist the potential client or guide them in the right path or direction. All calls were different in nature and in of different branch of law. Sometimes, the legal issues may have been outside the Rodriguez & Associates area of practice. But, with time, consideration and basic information obtained I always found the right path to best help potential clients. Depending of the nature of the legal matter or query at hand, after gathering sufficient details, I was responsible of coordinating all in-person appointments with the attorneys, making sure all relevant investigative reports were readily available to best serve the client. Efficiency was key, for both the attorney and the client.
