Whenever we hire a new team member, we want nothing more than for them to grow in their role. Many come to us with dreams of working in a legal office or one day becoming a lawyer, and it’s gratifying that we can help them recognize and reach their goals. This past summer, we welcomed Bianca to our team, and she’s been a shining beacon of compassion, kindness, and support to everyone who has walked through our doors. For the past 10 years, Bianca has been dedicated to raising her three wonderful children. She’s always wanted to return to school after earning her bachelor’s degree in creative writing from Cal State Northridge and finally got her chance when the pandemic began. While Bianca’s kids were learning at home through online classes, Bianca decided to join a paralegal studies program. After she helped her kids with their homework, she turned to her own studies and completed the program in half the time it usually takes. She loved the program as it gave her a glimpse into the life of a paralegal, and when her kids returned to school, Bianca found a job with us. Since joining our team, Bianca has been chiefly involved with trust administration and probate, but also has her hands in other aspects of what we do. She’s always finding a way to help and has served as an excellent in-house translator for our Spanish-speaking clients, as she is bilingual and fluent in Spanish. Chasing Her Legal Dreams OUR PARALEGAL, BIANCA

When you work with Bianca, you can be assured you’re in good hands. She always tries to connect with her clients and will go out of her way to do anything she can to help them. She fits in well with the rest of the team at Shoup Legal, and we’re excited to watch her grow in her role and further explore the legal field. When Bianca is away from work, she stays busy taking care of her three kids and husband. She never misses one of her kids’ sporting or school events. She’s also an avid reader and will use any excuse to pick up and read a new book for a few hours.
