I am 6 months in to my job, never had any experience before this and the firm gave me a chance. I hope they never regret it because it is honestly the best job ive ever had. The hustling of working these cases and the office vibe as well as people ive met is just awesome. I do sometimes feel lost but now im someone that new people go to ask questions which is mind blowing. Im so glad i saw your video and applied to this job, very grateful to you for showing me this path.

When I heard that, it clicked for me!💡

Icie, I really appreciate your content. This video was so encouraging. Here’s my story, I was a Legal Assistant for 8 years and I agree the first 6 months were rough because you’re learning. I recently left the company and went to a new company working as a Financial Management Specialist. The office is so toxic because of the manager. She beat me up for every mistake and it’s no training. You learn as you go. Now I am looking to go back to a firm as a Legal Assistant.

Thank you for sharing your story with me ❤️

these are so realistic tips..thank you!

Also law firms, especially in California, look for Paralegals that have a certificate. You can take schooling for this & it takes a year to complete. You get a better chance to get hired & perhaps s higher pay.

hi! I just heard of Legal Assistant; I was wondering if you needed a degree for this position! I have an associates degree from community college, and I am in the process of getting my BA In Psychology degree! I am an online student, so do I look for a internship before I graduate or after I graduate college? also is BA In PSYCHOLOGY a ok degree to get for undergraduate degree to get a job as a Legal Assistant? I am In New York, a suburb north or NYC

Great points

Hi Icie, I've been watching your legal assistant vlogs and I am interested to dive in the field. I am currently studying Juris Doctor in the Philippines and I've been working as a Virtual Assistant for 2 years now but not in the Legal Industry. Please continue making content like this. Sending love from Philippines!
