"I love being a Paralegal because it allows me to work side by side with attorneys to help our clients to reach an excellent settlement. Some of these devastating accidents have disabled most of our clients which strips them of a quality of life. My job has allowed me to diligently move cases from inception to trial to meet our goal. I cannot say that I hate anything about being a Paralegal because this is a career path that I chose with the ability to ultimately become an Attorney some day."
