MONDAY- 4/25/11

Family Service- service that provides assistance with filing family abuse cases. For example, elder abuse.

Today was a really busy day...well it has been so far. When I first got to the office I had to finish a big stack of scanning for Shayla and I had to do it in a tedious way because some documents were stapled together. Then she told me about one her clients who was having family issues. She wanted me to call the Family Service line and see if they could file a case for elder abuse. I was actually excited to call them instead of dreading the use of phones like I usual. I like talking about cases with other people because it makes me feel really professional to be in the middle of the contact between Shayla and the other people in her case. After hearing the details of the case they decided they would call me back. It was really satisfying when our receptionist, Connie, buzzed my phone and let me know so and so was on the phone for me. This task placed a lot of responsibility on me but I think I handled it very well. After that, one of the paralegals, Brenda, had a GINORMOUS, stack of papers to be scanned. This took foreveeerr, but I didn't really mind because I had something to keep me busy. I am now going to tell Shayla what I learned from the Family Service line and see what our next steps in the case are.
