The Team at a Bulluck Law Group & What They Do

This blog will go over the members who will work with you during a case at any law firm, and at Bulluck Law Group.

There are three main type of professionals that will likely work on your case, regardless of what law firm you go to:

An attorney is a licensed professional who completed law school and passed the state bar examination. They have the ability to speak and file documents in court on behalf of others, as well as charge for these services. In a law firm, the attorney is responsible for the well-being of the clients.

Paralegals work on legal issues for the attorney, and help them prepare for trial, hearings and other meetings. They also draft legal documents for the attorney and may conduct legal research for them as well. Paralegals cannot speak in court, and an attorney is responsible for reviewing their work.

Legal Assistants working directly with attorneys and paralegals, to assist in clerical duties. This may include writing emails, letters, making phone calls, or retrieving the necessary paperwork or case files from businesses and the law firm’s client system. Legal Secretaries generally do not work directly on legal issues.
