What I struggle with most in the early stage of my Paralegal career is in deciding which paralegal online certificate program is within my budget, completely online, reputable, and can be completed in a timely manner. Can you make any recommendations? I have very little experience.
Congrats on (almost) making it to the end of your Paralegal course. I absolutely love my career. Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing. I appreciate you enormously! Good luck to you!
Great advice! I’m a recent legal studies graduate and certified paralegal looking to start my freelance paralegal business. Came across your page and it’s so helpful. Thank you for your insight and the information you freely share! One day I will pay it forward ❤️
Thank you! I’ve been on a search for paralegal insider tips to help me be more effective at work and have been struggling to find them. I work in a sole practitioner’s office with a very high volume of PI cases and expectations for fast turnover. Current struggle points: • Prioritizing • Staying on top/ahead of medical record requests • Developing simple template letters to keep clients regularly updated about their cases • Microsoft Word hacks for formatting discovery requests/responses • E-Filing hacks • General formatting rules for court documents (captions, margins, fonts) • Project management tools • Secure file sharing (is a Google link okay?)
I'm so happy you've found my channel helpful. That is the entire reason I started this journey, to help my fellow Paralegal community - in addition to showing attorneys how they can employ freelance and virtual staff. You hit the nail on the head, it's not just about working for an attorney, but being effective for the attorney and your environment. I worked for a solo practitioner for years and it is a WONDERFUL experience because of all the hats you wear. Absorb it all! I assure you that it will help you later. Regarding your current struggles, I think we can help each other out, if you're interested. DM me on FB or Insta @ArrowConsultants. I'm working on putting together videos for many of your struggles - because the struggle is real! LOL
Glad it was helpful! Yes, I should do a bigger video on using Sway. Thanks for the fabulous video content idea. Of course, thank you for watching and commenting as well. I appreciate you!
I'm a student new into the Paralegal profession. But I have been told over the years I make an excellent lawyer or legal assistant. I just feel stuck because although I'm good at looking things up, researching etc. I'm terrible at remember a lot things off the bat and with organizing to a degree. I want to return to get back to starting my studies but feel a bit overwhelmed. I work 2 jobs and really like to get my degree in Paralegal and in business. So that I can advance within my companies gain more experience. Then i liove to run my own little Paralegal office and also be a notary, tax preparer and family advocate. On top running my own resale business etc.
Thank you for the suggestion. Can you be more specific about document prep? Do you mean Word formatting, caption formatting, etc.? I would greatly appreciate the additional feedback. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you!
I am in the medical field I have a lot of transferable talents, well versed in Microsoft ans excel . I am currently taking a paralegal course, but I cannot get any law firm to see the above as an advantage and not a disadvantage.
Being in the medical field is very unique and in my opinion, very advantageous to make your application stand out. You just have to phrase/present your experiences in a way that correlates with work you will do in the legal field. For example, medical professionals are always working in a fast paced environment and it takes a lot of discipline and time management to complete your tasks!
Question, I work in law enforcement and have been for 8 years now and I am currently going to go to school to get my certificate in Paralegal Studies. I already have my AS degree in Criminal Justice. What advice could you give to someone jumping from law enforcement to being a paralegal? What can make me stand out from the rest of the crowd? Thanks for all you do.
I do have some questions. I’m interested in the paralegal field and I’ve been looking at different certificate programs for months now. I’ve narrowed my search down to Uc Davis and Berkeley. I have over 10 years of administrative experience. I’ve worked as an administrative assistant, executive assistant, even worked in IT and was a 911 Dispatcher. How do I properly showcase my resume? How do I get my foot in the door once I’ve completed the program? And is it even necessary to consider an ABA approved certificate program?
You bring up a lot of good points. I am working on a videos about the different certifications for Paralegals and what is involved in maintaining those certifications, as well as things you are doing now in your career that could easily transition into the legal industry. Thank you so much for the content ideas! I LOVE being a Paralegal. I wish you all the luck in the world on your incredible journey.
Both are fantastic and always-in-demand. I work with nurse consultants all the time on cases. Good luck to you! I'm sure either field would be lucky to have you. Thank you for commenting and watching. I appreciate you!

Thanks so much for the channel, the tree in the background is very nice treat!
Thank you! I don't have my tree in my new videos, but I'm definitely looking for another one now that you mention it :-)
You are so helpful! The idea of networking makes an introvert anxious though. The lesson on 365 Sway was great and hopefully we see more of that.
Glad it was helpful! Yes, I should do a bigger video on using Sway. Thanks for the fabulous video content idea. Of course, thank you for watching and commenting as well. I appreciate you!

What would a new paralegal be blogging about?
Your content is terrific! Thank you. Yes, please provide a UA-cam on Sway.

I’m thinking of doing the paralegal studies associates degree on penn foster. Do you think that is a respectable degree?
I want to freelance on legal industry give me ideas
I’m still trying to decide on paralegal vs nursing. Still confused
Both are fantastic and always-in-demand. I work with nurse consultants all the time on cases. Good luck to you! I'm sure either field would be lucky to have you. Thank you for commenting and watching. I appreciate you!
Can males be paralegals?
Of course they can. In fact, many male attorneys prefer male paralegals. Great question 😀🙌
@@ArrowConsultants_MistyMurray Thanks for your reply, Your channel is helping me a lot.
