Eversole Law Firm December 2018

Meet Maggie Copeland and Kirsten Campbell

Outside of the office, I spend every chance I can with my daughter, Katherine, who’s 1 1/2 now. I spend so much of my time either in school or working that I spend all my free time with my daughter. –Maggie C opeland Similar to Maggie, I started working at Eversole Law firm through Catherine. I’ve known her for a couple of years, and when I was in college, she told me she needed help around the office. I decided that working for Catherine was the best choice for me. I work as an assistant around the office. Ultimately I’m the bookkeeper — I do a lot of scanning and take care of documentation. In the morning, I go through everything in my box, and then I update the bank accounts I’m taking care of. Afterward, I do anything else Catherine needs me to help with. When it comes to the direction I want my career to go in, I honestly don’t know where I’d like to go. I enjoy having a job that I can rely on, which is one reason why I love working with Eversole Law. When I graduated college, I left with a business management degree, which I know will be a huge help in almost any area I go into later in life. But today, I’m very happy to work at Eversole Law. –Kirsten Campbel l

Eversole Law Firm is featuring two of our fantastic office assistants for this month’s employee spotlight. We’re so pleased to have such amazing and diligent people in our office! I started working for Catherine Swanson at Eversole Law Firm in 2017. I was pregnant at the time and needed a better job than working nights at a restaurant, and my best friend, Grace, Catherine’s daughter, told me her mom needed help in the office. I applied for an assistant job and got the position, but on the day I was supposed to start working, I went into labor. I had to wait another eight weeks before I could officially begin working at the firm. Catherine was so amazing and understanding at that time, and I really appreciate her giving me the opportunity to work here. In the office, I do a little bit of everything — scannings, send-offs, post-closing paperwork for real estate, receptionist duties, all the courthouse runs, file maintenance, and anything else they need me to do. I’m still trying to figure out where I want to go in life. Currently, I’m in school for massage therapy, but once I’m done with that, I’m not too sure exactly what I’m going to do. I was interested in paralegal work, which is one reason why I was so keen to get into the office and work with Catherine. For now, I’d like to work here at Eversole Law and learn as much as I can so I can grow as a person and an assistant.
