When you hire our firm, you hire an attorney, not a paralegal. You will get personal attention and will work and communicate directly with the attorney every step of your case.
Paralegals are not licensed, so the term "paralegal" is used loosely. In some law firms, a paralegal may be just a glorified receptionist or a secretary with no prior legal background. In others, a paralegal may hold a degree in paralegal studies and/or have specialized legal knowledge, training, and experience.
Paralegals are supposed to work under the supervision of the attorneys. Very often, however, attorneys heavily rely on paralegals and sign off on documents prepared by them with no or little review. That is how mistakes made by paralegals become part of the attorney's work product. Sometimes, these mistakes can be very costly and result in delays in resolution of a case.
At Anna Handy Law Firm, P.A., the attorney, not a "paralegal", will review, analyze, and prepare your case, whether it is a personal injury demand for settlement or a lawsuit, a bankruptcy petition with schedules or an immigration petition/application package. So, you can be rest assured that your case is handled and prepared competently and in a though manner.
