Law Firms: A People Business
Serge Semirog
While the attorney may have his name on the door and be the one clients most often see in person, a law firm is comprised of a plethora of individuals working behind the scenes so that the attorney can focus 100% on the task at hand.
If you take a look at Semirog Law Firm pllc, there are three other groups of individuals that work to ensure that your case is in good hands and treated properly.
Paralegals
If you have ever seen the USA Network show Suits, then you know Rachel Zane played by Meghan Markle is the paralegal of the firm. Paralegals do a variety of task in the law firm including organizing and maintaining files, conducting legal research, reaching out to insurance companies as well as clients, and generally ensuring smooth operations in the firm. Their job is to support the lawyer; while they can't practice law by themselves, working under the attorney allows them to do much of the same work. Our wonderful paralegal is Haydeey Martinez; you may have talked to her if you ever came to the Matthews office as she is normally the first point of contact for our firm!
Legal Assistants
Along with the paralegals, legal assistants act in a very similar manner. They improve the attorney's efficiency by preparing case files, tracking cases, and supporting the attorney's legal proceedings. They may also act as a runner, going in between the law firm offices and the various courts where they file various motions and orders on behalf of the attorney. This job and its responsibilities fall to Jose Rodriguez, a man intent on keeping everyone happy in and out of the office.
Interns
Sometimes an attorney may take an undergraduate or graduate student intent on becoming a lawyer under his wing. In exchange for an educational experience - including learning how to draft documents, interact with clients, and read legal documents - the intern takes care of many of the administrative and secretarial tasks, overall reducing the weight load on the other members of the office. Semirog Law Firm, pllc, intent on giving back to the community and helping future-attorneys, has had several interns work under the supervision of the firm.
In a lot of media, law firms are portrayed as big and menacing, only intent on making money. In reality, our firm is composed of caring people determined to right the wrongs and make people whole and happy.
