    Spotlight on: Carla K. Weldy-- Paralegal Extraordinaire

     

    Many of you know and have worked with Carla, C&C Law’s Paralegal Extraordinaire.  You’ve met Carla to discuss the basis facts of you case, you’ve called Carla to update her on you medical status and you’ve spoken to Carla when Jim is out of the office.

    Paralegals are more that just legal assistants—through formal education , training and experience, paralegals have knowledge and expertise regarding the legal system and substantive and procedural law which qualify them to do work of a legal nature under the supervision of an attorney. 

    Carla has been in the legal field for over thirty years and earned her Paralegal Degree from Penn State University fifteen years ago.  Carla made the switch from legal assistant to Paralegal because “the additional formal education added to my knowledge and experience.  I consider myself one of the lucky “paralegals”.  I have the pleasure of working for two attorneys who respect and use my knowledge and education as a paralegal and not as a “glorified secretary”.

    Carla enjoys being a Paralegal because “everyday on the job brings something different.”

    Carla describes her job as “being there to help your clients when they need it most.  Most people need attorneys when they are facing some of the most difficult situations in their lives.”

    While Paralegals work hand in hand with attorneys, it is important to understand that Paralegals cannot give legal advice.  Legal advice may only be relied upon if given by an attorney.
