ABOUT ME

My name is Kerry, and I graduated from Fleming College - Legal Office Administration back when Guns N' Roses - "Sweet Child 'O Mine" was #1 on the Billboard Charts. Although my kids are sure that I must be old enough to be retired, I still have over 20 years to go before I will be allowed the luxury of sleeping in every morning.

In the past, I've mostly worked in law firms. I was a Real Estate Secretary back when the Deeds and Mortgages were physically typed on paper. I'm pretty sure it's easier now.

In recent years, I've mainly been employed as a Personal Injury Litigation Clerk. I've worked for some great firms, but I haven't found that truly good fit yet, and until that happens, I'm going to stick with being a Freelance Legal Assistant offering in-house or outsourced temporary administrative support when you need it and ONLY WHEN YOU NEED IT.

Testimonial

Kerry took a great deal of pride in the work that she did and has always satisfied my expectations on precision and accuracy in her work and I never had to worry that she hadn't performed to such extent when she handed me any document or file she had worked on. (L.P.)
