Lawyer's Assistant

Sep 2018 - Mar 2019
My role at this law firm required me to complete a basic level of legal work; as such, this experience has acquainted me with the dynamic and ever-changing environment of a firm. During my time at Diaz Law, I observed and worked alongside lawyers representing real-estate and corporate cases. My tasks ranged from drafting legal documents on real-estate cases, such as a Purchase of Sale Agreement, to completing reception work at the front desk.
