“I became part of this firm eight years ago as a file clerk and have worked my way up to become a knowledgeable paralegal and calendar clerk who is now hands-on and available to assist clients with all their legal needs. I specialize in dealing with our Spanish population and enjoy meeting new people. I take pride in helping others get justice. My aim is helping those in need and making them feel more of a family member than a client.”

Education: B.A. Degree – Hunter College

Paralegal Cert. – Long Island College

“I have over 40 years of experience as a legal secretary/paralegal. My primary focus has been in the area of personal injury litigation and trial preparation for both plaintiff and defendant firms. I also have some experience in patent law, construction litigation, immigration, real estate and wills, estates, and trusts.

I have been the office manager at the Law Office of Richard M. Kenny since the firm’s foundation. At various times in the firm’s evolution, I have worked as a legal secretary, paralegal, receptionist, calendar clerk, bookkeeper, and personal assistant. I can work independently to manage files, prepare legal pleadings in a case from inception to conclusion, train new personnel and liaise with the Courts, attorneys’ offices, medical providers, and insurance carriers. I have a particular ability to relate to clients, establishing a warm personal rapport.”
