What is it like working as a Legal Secretary?
April 2015
Working as an Estate Planning Legal Secretary.
Legal Secretary:
There is a bundle of information to learn with Estate Planning. There are numerous documents, various types of trust documents, various types of Wills depending on the individual's assets, and many other documents. It is an area that is interesting to learn if you have no idea, such as myself, of planning ahead your future or for your elderly parents.
I'm not so sure if much money is to be made in this field. I had worked in litigation for most of my years. I am hoping to get an increase.

Searching for a rewarding, exciting and challenging career.
Legal Secretary:
Pros: I work independently, my boss does not bother me. I work at my own pace and everyone mainly works on there own.
Cons: I would like to do and learn more about law. My job does not reward me nor do I have any benefits nor room for growth.
February 2015
That reviews of salary is not a consideration.
Legal Secretary:
Make sure you get paid what you are worth.
February 2015
Legal Secretary:
Pros: Benefits and company atmosphere. My regional director is awesome.
Cons: My immediate boss has an anger problem and is a whiner. Whenever there's a problem, he looks for ways to blame others, instead of taking an proactive approach to solve the problem. He also is not very good at teamwork.

January 2015
Legal Secretary:
Pros: The hours, the flexibility, the relaxed atmosphere, the friendly staff, the challenges, learning new things,
Cons: Lack or organization and communication.
December 2014
Clear Job Description.
Legal Secretary:
Have your duties, responsibilities outlined in a contract form. Therefore others cant pile work on you when they aren't paying you. Working in a office with 3 attorneys and only one secretary, will cause burn-out. Receptionist, File Clerk, Office Manager, Paralegal, Runner, Personal Assistant, etc. These are all specific job titles, not intended for only 1 person to do. Be clear!
