If you have had any contact with the Law Office of Matthew Dubin during the last 2 years, you have almost certainly met (or at least spoken to) Lindsey Trainor. I'm confident that you have found the experience positive and professional. I hired Lindsey in the summer of 2007 shortly after she graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in history. Lindsey was chosen over more than 100 applicants because of her outstanding academic record, her exemplary writing ability and her glowing, enthusiastic recommendations.
As anyone who has met Lindsey knows, she quickly exceeded all reasonable expectations.
For the past 2 years, Lindsey has essentially served as an office manager, administrative assistant, legal secretary, receptionist, file clerk and all around helper. She has answered clients' questions and addressed their concerns when I was not available to do so. She has kept me organized and on track. Essentially, she made herself indispensable. As an added bonus, she has always been an absolute joy to be around. During her short tenure, Lindsey has always been there when I've needed her - rain or shine (or even snow).
It is therefore with mixed feelings that I must prepare to say good bye to Lindsey, who has been accepted to attend law school at the University of Michigan beginning in the fall. While this is a terrible loss to the Law Office of Matthew Dubin, it is a great victory for the legal community, which will benefit from the contributions of one of the most intelligent, hard-working, ethical, good-hearted people I have had the privilege to know.
Before Lindsey leaves for Michigan, she will pass on all of the accumulated knowledge and insight of the past 2 years to Emma Puckett, who begins as our next Legal Assistant on June 1. Emma succeeds Lindsey in this position, and I am certain she will shine in her own right, but Lindsey will not be replaced.
Therefore, with gratitude for 2 years of dedicated service and sincere best wishes for a glorious and triumphant future in law school and beyond, we prepare to bid Lindsey adieu.
Give 'em hell, Lindsey!
