Background

About Angela Shields

As a senior paralegal at Melton Law Firm, I assist senior lawyers in advising clients on various legal issues and disputes, ranging from personal injury to corporate law. I have proven expertise in performing multiple activities requiring strong administrative and legal support, such as document preparation, proofreading, report writing, legal research, document control, legal drafting, e-file, and records management. I am a meticulous and diligent professional, who possesses a strong understanding of legal terms and a knack for establishing and maintaining regular contact with clients. I have also demonstrated my ability to collect evidence and medical records, draft reports related to liability, causation, and damages, and estimate risks strategically. I graduated with an associate's degree in legal assistant/paralegal from Rockford Career College, where I was recognized for maintaining a GPA of 4.0 and making the president's list and the dean's list. I am a quick and motivated learner, an effective and self-motivated communicator, and a resourceful and results-driven professional. I am passionate about delivering service and leadership that goes beyond organizational expectations, and I am always interested in making new professional acquaintances and expanding my knowledge and skills.
