Definitely enjoyed this video, thank you for keeping it real yet professional. These are definitely some good tips to start and understand what its like in reality to work for a law firm in the paralegal position. Please update up with a part two for your list. Thank you!
I love that you shared this! How do you deal w/ jealous women? In your experience, does having an assertive attitude ever come off the wrong way to other women? Or do women ever react negatively towards you for it?
I love your channel and the positivity to bring. You're going to make an amazing attorney, and I know the team that does get to work with you will enjoy coming to work.
I'm not an attorney, but there's one in our family. You've got such brilliant advice, considering how Incredibly Young you appear! Much success throughout your career. Greetings from N.Kentucky USA 🇺🇸.
Thanks. Agreed. Although Kill somebody with kindness and “I hope you have the day you deserve” don’t go together. I’d like to see your thoughts on how to deal with rude clients that are uncooperative about their own cases, can’t deal with them😢 Don’t know how to educate them
These are some good, on the surface tips. Usually when a paralegal start's off (assuming the paralegal has gone to school & has earned certification) only knows theory & not actual job experience, will not know what to expect or do. you learn these skills at work. And as time progresses (when you're a paralegal for approx 5yrs) you earn more skills. As to being too nice & putting your foot down, I have to disagree. When you are new to the game & have no legal experience, you must be nice & demonstrate an eagerness to learn & want to aid the attorney in what he/she needs. This shows your desire to learn & show how a valuable asset you are. As for attorney's having egos, most have egos, but because they busted their butts for 4 yrs in law school, which by the way is not easy. And yes, a legal assistant or paralegal should demonstrate assertiveness because an attorney doesn't have the time to look for info which the assistant/paralegal should know. Also, it's more of the fact that if the paralegal questions what he/she did makes the attorney nervous & question you the paralegal. And overall attorneys depend on their paralegals/legal assistance to do a good job because at the end of the day the attorney's Bar license is on the line & not the paralegal. Thus, this is why attorneys are always on edge. I know this for a fact because I've been a paralegal & now, I've entered/receive my JD in law school.... atty in progress. But good luck to all of you wishing a career in this field. It's very fulfilling, rewarding, & hard work!
Omg tell me your experience in Law School !!! I’m finishing up my psychology bachéelos and interested in going to Law School I wanna work for a law firm b4
Nice video. can you also specifically talk about the education you got to become a paralegal, The pay range of a paralegal while joining and after a few years, taking lsat, etc. are paralegals paid well and what is their work life balance
yes, I was with a criminal defense attorney for almost a year and a half and I really enjoyed it but the people I worked with were really mean. So I just started a another job as a legal assistant/paralegal for a Workmen's Comp. and personal injury. And it is a lot more to learn. Plus my office uses paper files lol. we save stuff to the server but it's a lot of paper. I keep trying to tell myself that I will pick it up and learn, but I know it's gonna take me a while.;(
I’m sorry ˙◠˙ i feel like getting cut slack because of being new is so wishy washy in the legal field because it depends on how graceful the person above you is. It’ll get better just keep doing your best
I'm curious to know what happened between you and the passive aggressive person. Did your comment make her slither away and find someone else to pick on or did she get more aggressive?
“I hope you have the day you deserve” - I’m stealing that one
HAHA
It's definitely a charm.🥰

Yes I will make a video for you ☺️
Well said, thank you for this!
I just got a job as a legal assistant which I’ve been wanting for a long time now so this was much needed!!
Yay! Congrats. Hope you are enjoying it!!!
You are an inspirational speaker. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your insights
Thanks for the positive comment ☺️!
We need part 2. Very good video. I’m sure they can apply to paralegals in the UK
Thanks☺️ I’ll brainstorm and make a part 2!
Continue the list, please. Thank you and have a great day.
Keep these videos coming ;) they are awesome! I just found you on here. I am a paralegal as well and it's not an easy job.
Thank you for the support, that means a lot 🥹 and it definitely isn’t, but it’s soooo fulfilling!!

You’ll get the hang of it!! & my firm also specializes in workers comp! Glad to hear you got out of that toxic office 🙃
5 tips - with a little ⓒ but not bad.
☕️ my favorite part.
😂thanks
Please continue the list!
I will!
very helpful advice!!
Thank you☺️
Loved this video. Doing research on how to start a paralegal career. I'm kinda nervous but you never know unless you try 😃.
Thanks ☺️and true! Shoot your shot👏👏👏 good luck and let me know how it goes I’d love to hear about it
Very informative, thanks!
Very true- showing insecurities is a big no,no. I just got thrown under the bus by a senior paralegal because I’m new and still learning. Sucks.
I’m sorry ˙◠˙ i feel like getting cut slack because of being new is so wishy washy in the legal field because it depends on how graceful the person above you is. It’ll get better just keep doing your best
So true
I liked this office better for you
Haha same but it’s okay! I like my new office too
Any advice for someone reentering legal and taking a promotion role from misc. roles to hybrid legal assistant/paralegal?
I'm curious to know what happened between you and the passive aggressive person. Did your comment make her slither away and find someone else to pick on or did she get more aggressive?
She stopped replying. And we spoke on the phone two months or so later, ever since that she’s been nice to me!!
@@thelegaldiaries Oh good. I'm glad you don't have to deal with her crap any more.
Dang. Good knowledge out of the gate! 🫰
Thank you!
