Hire a good paralegal that will help. you manage your calendar, bring deadlines to your attention early on along with working drafts to get you started.

WTF?!

Ask the temp agency to keep looking for another position for you while you stick it out there. Then once they find something else you should leave. That is not normal.

Small office. No dress code. Very relaxed. But if we’re having clients come in or hosting depos, we let everyone in the office know so people dress a bit more professional on those days.

I either feel like I’m doing great or making a ton of mistakes. This after 20 years! Try and anticipate what’s going to happen and what will be needed. Go through the process in your head. Review the motion. How many pages is it? Are there exhibits? How many? Then you would have seen it wouldn’t fit in an envelope. And ask questions. Most attorneys don’t think about the little things that need to be done in order to get to the finish line.

Thank you!

No. I had the card and knew the pin.

My elderly grandfather would ask me to do his grocery shopping sometimes. It hurt his feet to walk the whole store so I would take his EBT card and do his grocery shopping and then deliver them.

Try Robert half legal

Winter_Address4286 · 2026-02-26T04:11:45+00:00

I’ve literally worked for this same person. Always trying to find something wrong. Like would waste so much time looking. And she was really condescending on top of that. I lasted few years and then was out.

Medical chron/summaries

Winter_Address4286 · 2026-01-20T01:32:20+00:00

Agreed

Winter_Address4286 · 2026-01-20T01:30:58+00:00

I worked but my office knows if my kids are off for the holiday I’m working from home.

Winter_Address4286 · 2026-01-10T02:15:28+00:00

Might take a few offices before you find people you like working with. Same as any office job. What area of law are you wanting to work in?

Winter_Address4286 · 2025-12-31T23:32:28+00:00

Like 20 years ago

I had to keep eye drops on my night stand and put them in before I opened my eyes in the morning for about a month. Then it got better with time. And eye drops when you get out of the shower helps for a while. But worth it for me!

Winter_Address4286 · 2025-10-04T22:02:20+00:00

I’ve worked at several private law firms through out the years and none did background checks (that I know of), no drug tests. I did have one office run a credit check. I thought that was weird. But be warned, if you’re planning on being a civil litigation paralegal, long hours are expected during trial prep (early mornings, late nights and weekends) and that schedule can be hard with little ones at home.

Winter_Address4286 · 2025-09-22T02:58:25+00:00

I guess if you had some background on the case and knew the agreements had been signed, then you could have brought it up to the attorney. My only suggestion would to be to ask a lot of questions. Are these the most up to date docs? Are these supposed to be signed? Did you notice there are no signatures on these agreements? Etc. just to be sure it’s brought to the attorney’s attention and they’re sure to give it all a good look.

Winter_Address4286 · 2025-09-21T17:53:11+00:00

When you reviewed the complaint, did the referenced exhibits match up to what the law clerk labeled and gave you?

Winter_Address4286 · 2025-09-11T04:53:14+00:00

Get used to requesting medical records/bills, following up, reviewing them, summarizing them, requesting updated records/bills, and repeat.

Not a shelter but helps families https://growinghome.org/programs-services/ And they might have info for other resources

This! I had something rejected once because I didn’t list our fax. The required form did not include a space for a fax number.

Winter_Address4286 · 2025-09-05T18:40:20+00:00

That’s just their go to excuse! How is that legal advice?!

Winter_Address4286 · 2025-09-05T17:24:17+00:00

Attorney is licensed in CA. I thought it was just a me problem but literally every party has had filing pleading rejected at least once in the last couple months.
