The New Face in Law Our Newest Member of the Team: Temperance!
I haven’t been with the firm long; I joined the team in May as Matthew’s paralegal — but over the past two months, I have learned so much! As a paralegal, I work directly with Matthew in a number of different areas within the firm. I provide legal assistance, file pleadings with the courts, contact clients for additional information and medical records, and correspond with the courts. That’s just a brief overview of what I do, but I’m sure you get the idea! Anything that needs to be taken care of, I’m there. And it can vary day-to-day, which is one of the things I love about working at the firm and in law. There is always something new to learn every single day. Every case is different and every situation is different. There is never a dull moment, and it can really keep you on your toes. Being new to the firm means I have that much more to learn, but as someone who loves to learn, I love it! Matthew has been a great teacher. He’s patient and always ready to work through a process. If I have a question, he has an answer.
I decided to pursue a career in law after growing up watching courtroom dramas on TV. There was something exciting about shows like “Law
& Order” that intrigued me. Though working in law is a little different than what you see on TV, it’s still very energizing. It’s a chance to help people and give clients the legal expertise to move forward with their lives. And, of course, I love the chance to prove my case. Outside of the office, I keep busy practicing yoga, reading, going to the beach, and heading out on hikes. I also recently started listening to podcasts, and I’m having a lot of fun with that. I’m currently working my way through “Serial.” I’m excited to see what’s next! –Temperance Richardson
