We asked the attorneys to share their thoughts about how their assistants and paralegals help to make their working lives better, and what follows is just a sampling of what our attorneys collectively had to say:

  • “Our legal assistant is an integral part of this firm’s success and an asset to our practice group. She diligently monitors our files and helps us to maintain the organization needed to move our matters forward. This firm and its clients are fortunate to have her daily assistance.”
  • “My legal assistant is a blessing. She is capable, smart, efficient, and works hard to keep up with her attorneys. I owe her my thanks for making me a better lawyer.”
  • “I don’t need to be told by outsiders how wonderful my legal assistant and paralegal are, but it happens all the time. Why? Because we all work as a team and it shows. Our clients see and appreciate that helpful, conscientious, proactive and personable attitude, and so do I!”
  • “Our paralegal is a no-nonsense worker who handles her work quickly and efficiently.”
  • “My legal assistant has more energy than me! She often picks up on issues which might be hard for others to see. She’s doggedly persistent when it comes to completing a challenging assignment; she doesn’t let go until she figures it out.”
  • “Our legal assistant is absolutely meticulous when it comes to her work. We never have a problem finding what we’re looking for in our electronic file management system, and we never worry about pleadings getting out on time and in great shape.”
  • “My legal assistant is indispensable to my practice. She is efficient, knowledgeable of the issues in my area of work, and is a favorite among my clients because of her knowledge of the files and responsiveness to clients’ needs. I don’t have to worry about something slipping through the cracks because of her meticulous nature. She is also a great friend and all around pleasure to work with – an extremely valuable member of the Christian & Small team.”
  • “I know when I ask my legal assistant to do something, I don’t have to follow up – she will get it done. The peace of mind that gives me is priceless.”
  • “My legal assistant and my paralegal each replaced long-time employees of the firm. At first I was a little hesitant to undergo these changes, but what a blessing both of them have been to my practice! They are so competent, skillful,  and pleasant to work with that I feel that they have been with my team for a long time.”
  • “My legal assistant is not only fantastic in her work product, but she is such a pleasure to be around. She  always has a smile and happy disposition that brightens each day – plus she laughs at my corny jokes, which is nice. It is such a pleasure to get to work with her each day!”
  • “I couldn’t operate without my legal assistant! She keeps my practice running smoothly.”
  • “Our legal assistant carries herself with a positive attitude and has a kind spirit at work. Her grace and good humor are helpful to us on a daily basis and important in her dealings with clients – as she assists us in wading through a sea of details and helping us manage any problems that could arise.”

From all of the attorneys at Christian & Small to all of our administrative and support staff – we appreciate you and thank you for your hard work and dedication!
