Meet Our New Legal Assistant!
SUDOKU
A Look at Samantha’s Journey to Harman Law
Just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we brought Samantha Mitchem onboard at our firm. This spring must have been a crazy time to start a new job, but she settled into her role of legal assistant right away, and we’ve been beyond lucky to have her through these crazy months! Day to day, Samantha takes calls for Michael and Catherine, schedules appointments for personal injury and unemployment cases, handles inquiries about wills and power of attorney, and meets with new clients. “I’m in charge of obtaining medical records, billing, and following up on health insurance,” she says. “It’s a lot of detailed work, but it makes the day go by. There’s always something to do, and I’m never bored!” Before coming to Harman Law, Samantha worked as an ambulance coder and biller in her home state of West Virginia. For four years, she kept busy doing private pay and following up on bills and insurance there. Though she enjoyed the work, Samantha had the travel bug and couldn’t wait to leave home. When her mom moved fromWest Virginia to North Carolina, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to start a new chapter. “My mom and I talked about it, and I followed her here in September 2019,” Samantha says. “It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made! I love it down here.” Working from home this spring was both fun and challenging for Samantha. On the one hand, she says, she missed the office environment, but on the other, she could wear comfortable clothes to work and spend more time with her cats, Luna and Little Bit.
