1. Re: Litigation Legal Secretary/Assistant Professional
{Salary History: $52k–62k/year}
Dear Sir/Madam:
Attached please find a resume sent for your review in reference to your advertisement.
Being essentially a consummate Litigation Legal Secretary/Assistant Support Professional (Legal
Litigation Secretary/Office Administrator/Word-Processor/System Administrator/ Document-
Conversion Specialist, with emphasis on Paralegal/Bookkeeping/Reception {A/P/A/R/Quicken/
QuickBooks}), with advancing 15-year related civil/complex/appellate (Federal/State/EAMS/
e-filings/ECF–PACER in USDC {Northern/Central/Southern/Eastern}) litigation experience, in
supporting (legal) partners, managers, chief/sr. counsels/associates/principals, etc., I thrive in a fast-
paced environment by being proficient with an overall 30 years of advanced skills with
TOCs/TOAs; redlining (DeltaView/CompareRite/ tracking); time-entry (Abacus/DTE/Elite Webview/
CarpeDiem); HRIS (PeopleSoft); database management in Legal Solutions/Legal MacPac/
Concordance/IManage (Interwoven)/ CompuLaw/FilemakerPro/ProLaw DMS applications, as well as
(Windows 10.0/XP) MS-Word/Excel/Access/PowerPoint; WordPerfect 12.0; and Adobe Acrobat
X/InDesign/Photo-Shop/OCR/EDGAR-scanning software (bates-stamped/redaction/searchable).
I am usually considered as gracious while being resilient and responsive; in fact, my nickname is
really “Radar O’Reilly/Speedy Gonzalez” given my anticipation and organizational skills.
Moreover, I am seeking a position that will become my “professional home” and one which offers a
stable environment that values integrity, a strong work ethic and a solutions-ready “yes-can-do”
attitude, whose love of productive service and high energy where nothing is too big or small with a
main goal to please.
I can be reached at the following telephone number: 415-240-2994 or by email: thmle64@aol.com. I
would appreciate your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you for a possible
interview.
Yours truly,
