Its been almost a year since we hired Becca LaLiberte as a legal assistant. Although she had already graduated from law school, she had not yet been admitted to the bar and was anxious to get started working in the legal field. Although there were over 200 applicants for this position, hiring Becca was a no-brainer. She was smart, motivated, ambitious and demonstrated herself to be a natural communicator.Becca graduated from Detroit Mercy Law School in 2009. during and after her time in law school, she has worked in various legal settings, handling issues ranging from bankruptcy to criminal defense. Prior to attending law school, Becca attended Central Washington University where she graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Law and Justice, and was the Captain of the Varsity Women's Soccer team.
Becca started working for us as a legal assistant and immediately made our office operations more efficient. She worked to establish systems to improve our communications with our clients and to manage our case files. Although she excelled in administration and organization, I knew it would be foolish not to utilize her outstanding legal mind for more challenging work.
In December, 2010 Becca was admitted to the Washington State Bar and in January she was formally promoted to the position of Associate Attorney. Since then, Becca has worked on all of our cases and has taken the lead on several cases of her own. Becca is focusing her practice on representing injured people, but expects to eventually expand her practice to include other areas such as wills and trusts and criminal defense.
Becca has a detailed working knowledge of all of our cases and has become an invaluable liason with all of our clients. In the coming months, you can expect Becca to contribute to this blog with thoughts and ideas resulting from her experiences as a new attorney in the filed of personal injury.
So even though she's been with us for almost exactly a year, everyone please join me in welcoming Becca LaLiberte as the first Associate attorney with the Law Offices of Matthew D. Dubin.
