Seeking Attorney Position
Location: Foxboro, MA
Respond by e-mail
Hello
-
I am a
newly admitted to the Massachusetts bar and I am actively seeking a
position. I have experience in public interest, government, real estate
and family law. I am also interested in elder law, and wills as well. I am
open to any location within the commonwealth.
Presently,
I am a post-graduate law clerk with a District Attorney’s Office in the Domestic
Violence and Child Abuse Bureau. Within this position, I vigorously
conduct legal research and writing to assist the Deputy Chief Assistant District
Attorney and other Assistant District Attorneys in preparing their cases and
helping them find answers to compelling legal issues.
During
my last year in law school, I worked with the Law Office of the Public Advocacy
Center that focused on helping those in need in a landlord/tenant
capacity. I routinely conducted legal research and consulted with the
staff attorney on strategy. I often accompanied him to court and met with
clients. Within this internship, I also assisted the Suffolk County Bar
Association's Pro Bono Foreclosure Clinic where attorneys would meet with
indigent clients to discuss the foreclosure process and to give legal advice in
a limited capacity. I received a certificate of appreciation for my work
in this office.
For
shortly under four years, I was a Court Office Assistant with the Third and
Fourth District Courts in Suffolk County, NY, where I became very familiar with
court procedures. I interacted with the public on a daily basis by
providing customer service. I am very customer driven and can easily
relate to people. I enjoy personal interactions and strive in that
environment.
My
work experience and legal internships have given me the skills necessary to
adapt to new situations and contribute to a busy office setting. I
understand the importance and power of each written or spoken word and how
important it is to communicate with purpose and an overall vision. I know
I can bring a quality work product and a team spirit to your office. I am
organized and I know how to work independently as well as part of a team.
I
welcome any employment opportunities or advice and thank you for taking the time
to read my posting. I have a resume, writing sample and references available
upon request.
