Levy introduced me to is contractual law. Mr. Levy allowed me to assist on insurance cases, which included observing meetings, summarizing depositions, and reviewing contracts. Even though I had experience reviewing contracts while working a couple of summers for a General Counsel at a large business, this was completely different because these agreements were among insurance companies and individuals, instead of insurance companies and businesses. Mr. Levy works on behalf of insurance companies, mostly State Farm, when they have disputes with their clients over wind and hail coverage. These cases are interesting because Mr. Levy has to not only deal with the individuals that are claiming the insurance company didn’t follow the contract, but he also must deal with the adjuster in each case. Mr. Levy gave me the responsibility of summarizing the depositions of the adjusters to confirm that none of them said anything that was contradictory or detrimental to State Farm’s case. Often these cases end with settlements or dismissals because either the insurance company decides to compensate the individuals or the attorney representing the insurance company gets a favorable summary judgment. Mr. Levy and other attorneys representing insurance companies frequently seek summary judgments when the plaintiffs don’t have significant evidence to prove that the insurance companies violated the contract. In most of the insurance cases that I assisted Mr. Levy on he was able to receive summary judgment because the plaintiffs didn’t have enough evidence to prove that State Farm was responsible for paying the

Compared to Hasse and McLelland, Wiley’s connection to Williams was peripheral but nonetheless important. Years earlier, Wiley had confronted Williams about overbilling Kaufman County for legal services as an ad litem attorney in Child Protective Services cases. Williams responded by taking himself off the list of approved ad litem attorneys, thereby eliminating a significant source of

As a matter of fact, a wonderful example of a lawyer taking his profession seriously, and caring enough about his victim to go that extra mile, is that of Dan Newlin. This attorney made his own new record breaker for a $100 million verdict. This was for representation of a teenage girl, 15 years old, who got shot in the head, riding in back of her parent's vehicle. Gang members were shooting at the house they had just came from, and accidentally shot her in the head.

Witness Drew Kile (“Kile”) represented the seller of the Davis building during the entire transaction. He interacted with all parties on both rounds of bidding. A phone call was placed to Kile’s employer Institutional Property Advisors (“IPA”).

In stating so, Flynn argues that while some in the legal field think that paralegals are supervised and work under an attorney, therefore do not need to be licensed or certified. Others believe paralegals handle intricate legal matters, therefore should be licensed and certified. This statement from Flynn reinforces my belief that paralegals are essential to the effectiveness of a law firm and leads into my standing that licensing should be in place to ensure education, knowledge and adherence, which in turn will make a paralegal more valuable. Licensing of the paralegal profession and the requirements of experience and education that come with it; would dispel the long time misunderstanding of position titles among law office staff, attorneys and the public.
