The firm leads the industry in handling many of the biggest lending banks in the United States. My role with the firm included processing case files for court on a weekly basis, preparing for judgment to enter. I was tasked with preparing motions and notices to extend or vacate judgment after it was obtained or filing notice when the defendants filed for bankruptcy. I also updated our clients through various client software systems as well as updating our own legal systems, fielded calls and questions from pro se parties and attorneys, e-filed motions as well as monitored PACER for bankruptcies and terminations.

      Well-regarded firm specializing in Worker's Compensation and Social Security Disability, with a side of personal injury. Clients here remain clients for life.The bulk of my day was handling heavy client contact from phone calls and in-office visits for assistance with medical issues, authorizations to treat and any other issues that needed to be resolved. I was also responsible for initial intake of each client, gathering the information needed by the attorney to assess each case before meeting with the client.As for Social Security Disability, I gathered the information required from the client and applied online for them, handling the bulk of the paperwork necessary for each claim. I kept track of deadlines and statutes of limitations for each case to ensure a timely appeal when needed. Personal injury is similar to worker's compensation in that I handled the initial intake and paperwork to file the Complaint in each case. I gathered medical records, insurance information, police reports and personal information as well as the client's description of events for the attorney as needed.
