My 
Story

 

Let’s be real: many law firms are doing too much, too inefficiently, and bleeding time on things that could be handled smarter.

​

I know they are — I’ve lived it. â€‹With 10 years of experience inside law firms, I’ve worn nearly every hat: legal assistant, senior paralegal, legal operations manager, bookkeeper — and at times, all at once. My background in business management combined with hands-on experience in probate, estate administration, estate planning, real estate, and litigation support gave me a very unique edge: I understand how law firms should run — efficiently, profitably, and with structure. 

​

In 2024, I resigned from the in-house firm world with a reputation for being the go-to paralegal when things got messy. From probate files gone sideways and backwards, to estate inventories that need years of reconciliation, I helped firms navigate chaos, close loops, and scale without sacrificing sanity.

​

But... I also saw the cracks: burnout, underpaid support staff, or no support staff at all, inefficient systems, and firms stuck in old models that don’t serve their clients — or their team.

​

That’s why I launched EagleHouse. It’s not just a freelance paralegal service — it’s a lifeline for attorneys who want real solutions and real experience, not just a body in a seat. 

​

I bring legal know-how, operation expertise, and a no-BS approach to cleaning up files, identifying inefficiencies, managing team workflows, and helping firms grow. 

​​​

I serve attorneys who want a smarter way to operate — especially in estate and probate work where strategy and accuracy matter. From full estate administration, team workflows, and firm operations consulting, I help legal teams cut through chaos and deliver results.

​

I'm here to make your work smoother, your team stronger, and your time better spent. 

​

My story isn’t one of instant success; It’s been built on grit, adaptability, and the determination to forge a new path. Now, I am thrilled to be helping other like minded individuals do the exact same.  

​

With many many thanks to all who made this venture possible.
