A Little Bit About Stacy
Stacy began her career with the Jagan Law Firm as a legal secretary, and within the first week it was clear that she was not only capable but gifted. During her time as legal secretary, Stacy successfully answered all calls from multiple lines, prepared mail, managed the calendar, and met with clients while being the go-to for all staff. After excelling as the only full-time legal secretary at that time, Stacy then pursued the role of office manager, taking on more responsibilities and tasks. After it became clear that Stacy’s expertise and dedication was better utilized with direct client interactions she was promoted to the senior paralegal role. Even as senior paralegal, Stacy is still the go to person for all staff including both attorneys who depend on her knowledge.
Stacy has worked extremely hard with the firm regardless of the position she has held during her time with the firm. While Stacy may be young, she has encompassed all attributes that make her valuable to the firm. Stacy had become such a staple at the firms front desk of the Queens office that clients are often confused when they do not see her when they walk in.
