What is it like working as a Legal Assistant?
September 2016
Good Work Environment.
Legal Assistant:
Pros: Hanger Law has an excellent community. Employees are cooperative rather than competitive which fosters a friendly and enjoyable environment.
Cons: After three years of experience, there has not been much room for growth in my position, nor has there been much compensation for experience.
September 2016
Limited Advancement.
Legal Assistant:
While evidence of employee longevity is a credit to a company, be aware that opportunity for advancement will likely be limited.
September 2016
Don't hesitate to ask questions.
Legal Assistant:
Perform your job duties according to your boss's preference rather than your own. Boss doesn't mind interruptions to answer questions; if there's a doubt, ask!
July 2016
Notes & Organization are the keys to stay on top of duties.
Legal Assistant:
Stay organized. Take plenty of notes. Keep your cool under pressure. Keep up on all court updates and filing requirements. Review your attorney(s) calendar everyday. Update cases and index pleadings and discovery as often as possible. Do your own filing so that you will know what is going on in the case. Prepare your own documents, to know the exact date they were sent out. Remind your attorneys well in advance of upcoming deadlines. In a perfect world, you will receive the filing ahead of time and not on the date it's due. This will help your attorney and help you do your job better and in a timely manner.
