Hi, my name is Alan. I'm 28 years old. I am the son of refugees from the Soviet Union who came to Ohio in the early 90s, and this is where I was born and raised. I graduated from Ohio State University. I also went to school at DePaul University for a few years before I transferred to Ohio State. For the past four years, I've been living and working in Los Angeles as a legal assistant. I have experience working in personal injury law, employment law, trademark law, and patent law. The legal field is something that I'm very interested in. I hope one day maybe I can become a lawyer myself, although I'm not sure when exactly that would be. My goal right now is to establish myself in a law firm here in Columbus, Ohio, and sort of build a base from there. I really want to become a sort of head paralegal or perhaps a paralegal who has several legal assistants working under him one day. Another goal of mine is to get as much experience as I can in a lot of disparate fields of law. As I've just explained, I have worked in a bunch of different fields and a bunch of different areas. I know that the Lawrence Law Office specializes in family law, which is something that I've never touched, but I've always been very interested in getting into, and hopefully is the field of law that will be the one that's right for me. I work very, very hard. This is something that just comes with having immigrant parents. I'm a big, big stickler for details and have a... What I've been told is a pretty good working ethic. I don't like to leave any stone unturned. I like to make sure that I've explored every single avenue of a case before I mark it or any task related to it for completion. I like to prioritize the firm's relationships with clients very highly. I like to have relationships with our clients and with the attorneys I work for as well.
