    Los Angeles Paralegal | Good bye "Lawyer Priesthood" | SoCal

    Dominating the Los Angeles Paralegal Court Form Service Markets

    RETURN TO DEAN MCADAMS PARALEGAL LOS ANGELES The California Paralegal Service of choice for residents and professionals within these fine communities: Venice Ca, Santa Monica ca, Marina Del Rey ca, West LA Los Angeles ca, Beverly Hills ca, Hollywood ca, Playa Del Rey ca, Culver City ca, Inglewood ca, Hawthorne ca, Mar Vista ca, Palms ca, Westchester ca, Del Rey ca, El Segundo ca, and all of Los Angeles County and Southern California.  We are the premiere Los Angeles Paralegal Service.

    Fortunately true legal power is no longer in the hands of a selected old money few ordained by a dying inbred class of elite lawyer priests and their brethren.

    Because this blog has kept me at the top of the Google rankings for a word search consisting of "Los Angeles Paralegal" I am revising it here on December 8, 2009.  I have moved my office to 246 North Camden Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 because of the success blogs like this have brought me.  I now have a contract attorney appearing for my clients at the incredibly low rate of $500/per appearance.  My practice now includes a lot of pro per civil defendants involved in federal trademark lawsuits.  Most of my clients have already spent a fortune with an attorney before they see the light and come to me.

    In big cities like Los Angeles, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Century City, Culver City and throughout California, there are a lot of attorneys who are looking for paralegal jobs.  It is a simple matter of supply and demand.  The supply of lawyers far exceeds the number of people who can afford lawyers. However the amount of people who want paralegals is far greater than the current supply of qualified paralegals.

    The best part of the current economic crises is that more and more people are turning to paralegals and legal document assistants to solve their legal problems instead of using expensive attorneys. There is a solid transformation of power taking place as individuals take responsibility for their own legal power by going it alone with the help of a paralegal. Attorneys are even trying to get jobs as paralegals either because they can't get a job as a lawyer or because they want to learn more about how a one-man paralegal business can deliver high quality legal products at a very affordable price. Well to do cities like , and that have high concentrations of lawyers are seeing a decline in their economic health as the Lawyer Priesthood hegemony declines in proportion.

    The Lawyer Priesthood created a complex court system using the foreign language of "legalese," detailed ritualistic procedures and an old boys network. For hundreds of years only lawyers could navigate the treacherous waters of the American court system.

    Then somewhere at some unknown time, some unknown genius legal secretary became the first hybrid legal secretary-paralegal. "Para" means next to or alongside in Greek. This first legal secretary-paralegal was learning so much about the essential nuts and bolts operation of the legal system by working alongside an attorney that the transformation from legal secretary to paralegal was a natural and necessary evolution. Many paralegals go on to actually become attorneys. Many paralegals, this writer included, have taken a few law school classes and decided to remain paralegals.

    What can paralegals do? Lots! NALA's web-site, located at www.nala.org lists these duties:

    A legal assistant may perform any function delegated by an attorney, including but not limited to the following:

    • Conduct client interviews and maintain general contact with the client, so long as the client is aware of the status and function of the legal assistant, and the legal assistant works under the supervision of the attorney.

    • Locate and interview witnesses.

    • Conduct investigations and statistical and documentary research.

    • Conduct legal research.

    • Draft legal documents, correspondence and pleadings.

    • Summarize depositions, interrogatories and testimony.

    • Attend executions of wills, real estate closings, depositions, court or administrative hearings and trials with the attorney.

    • Author and sign correspondence provided the legal assistant status is clearly indicated and the correspondence does not contain independent legal opinions or legal advice.

    • Professionally, a paralegal's time for substantive legal work (as opposed to clerical or administrative work) is billed to clients much the same way as an attorney's time, but at a lower hourly rate.

    Many of the most meaningful transformations in life occur as the result of overcoming a crises. In crises we are forced to reevaluate and think anew. In crises we are reborn. The alcoholic hits bottom and finds sobriety, marriages that no longer work are ended for a new beginning, a dead end job is left behind and a new entrepreneurial venture is begun.

    With money tight people begin doing things for themselves, like exercising their constitutional right to represent themselves in legal matters. However the court system is still that same complex beast created by attorneys for attorneys, and the help of a paralegal can help smooth the way to an affordable solution to one's legal problems. And in the current economic crises a legal problem is transformed into personal empowerment to the people by dean@legalnoodle.com. (310) 944-2055. www.LegalNoodle.com Dean's first web site is AOSC.

    One moment I was at the top of Los Angeles in the LA Paralegal listings and the next day I was down. What is happening in Los Angeles with the LA paralegal listings. It is a very competitive market and most of my clients outside of LA search for a Los Angeles Paralegal. SEO has become a very important element of my life these days and I am trying to figure this out. The transformation of the "Lawyer Priesthood" has been rapidly evolving. Thanks-

    Paralegal Degree Los Angeles CA - Getting a paralegal degree can be the first exciting step to a financially rewarding career. A paralegal degree will prepare the individual in Los Angeles to work in the field of law, most often side-by-side with Los Angeles attorneys. A paralegal degree prepares the student to work in a job that offers employment year round and the average work week for a paralegal is often full-time. There are some paralegal positions in Los Angeles that provide temporary lay offs when the workload is slow, but for the majority of available positions, a student that earns their paralegal degree can rest assured in knowing that they will always be able to be gainfully employed.

    LA Personal Injury Paralegals - While attorneys take on the primary responsibility for legal work, tasks are usually delegated to paralegals. Los Angeles personal injury paralegals continue to be made responsible for an extending spectrum of legal work in Los Angeles law offices. Still, the duties of Los Angeles personal injury paralegals are nevertheless continued to be expressly limited to exclude the execution of tasks that are considered to be exclusively part of the practice of law (i.e. providing legal advice, arguing cases in courts of law, and setting legal fees).

    Los Angeles personal injury paralegals specify applicable, legal precedents/jurisprudence, legal articles, and other materials that are related to cases assigned to them by Los Angeles personal injury attorneys. They assist Los Angeles personal injury attorneys in preparing for court hearings, client meetings, and in executing errands related to cases handled by lawyers.

    You are right, in the Los Angeles and Santa Monica Paralegal Market, just go to the University of California at Los Angeles Paralegal Training Program. Skip the bush league mom and pop schools and stick with a name brand California Paralegal School.

    I don't need a samurai, but that would be interesting, I'm just seeking document help with the new 65 page Bankruptcy Law. I'm 73, disabled since April 2008, have used up all my savings and cashed in my life insurance, and while living on $1292 social security, the old pre 2008 credit cards are more than I can handle.

    Your Los Angeles (LA) CAParalegal website used to be higher up on Google. What happened? The whole Santa Monica to Long Beach paralegal market is really hot right now. Being a paralegal is good in bad times and being a paralegal is good in bad times.

    The Los Angeles Paralegal market has been heating up lately, but now it is starting to cool down with the rain.

    Comment by Paralegal Los Angeles Services on 09:29 AM January 20, 2010

    In the midst of the post 9/11 American housing market recovery, Wall Street firms were buying billions of dollars of subprime loans from non-bank lenders. By the end of the bubble in housing and subprime lending, Merrill Lynch was one of the largest firms issuing Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO). After purchasing loans from mortgage originators, they would be packaged into Asset Backed Securities (ABS) and sliced up according to risk. The riskiest parts of several packages would then be grouped together and further securitized into CDOs, and then sold to end investors around the world.

    As a result, the market for paralegals in Los Angeles is now booming!
