Why Use a VA?

I am a career legal secretary with over 40 years of legal experience. I can be available on demand and not just "in between jobs". Book me to be your on-demand legal secretary to fill in when your assistant goes on vacation, requires a sick day or is off for maternity leave. I am also available when you need extra assistance with a large job or a busy period. Pay for a legal secretary only when you need one and reduce your overhead.

Who Am I?

I have worked at law firms for over 40 years and have experience in nearly all facets of the law, including criminal trial, insurance defense, medical malpractice, mass tort litigation, and my first love — civil appellate law. For the last 15 years I have been working strictly in civil appellate law for a Big Law firm in Houston. I am excited to expand my expertise and provide additional services to help Texas lawyers and law firms become more efficient.
