The Paralegal Voice: Paralegals Giving Back

The latest edition of The Paralegal Voice, Paralegals Giving Back is now available at Legal Talk Network.

Volunteering can be an uplifting experience for all involved. On this edition of The Paralegal Voice, co-host Lynne DeVenny and I spotlight two paralegals who are 'giving back' to the community and volunteering their time to help others in need.

We welcome Cindy J. Geib, ACP, PaCP, a Certified Coordinator for Wills for Heroes and Lee A. Paige, CLA, Senior Paralegal at Parker, Milliken, Clark, O’Hara & Samuelian, who volunteers at the Los Angeles Food Bank. They discuss their individual experiences, time management and the impact volunteering has had on their lives.

Also in this episode:

• How Cindy and Lee got into the paralegal profession and what they like most about their jobs.
• Tips for paralegals interested in getting into their speciality areas.
• What drew Cindy and Lee to their volunteer work.
• Tips for balancing a job, family and volunteer work.
