She is the newest member of the firm but has quickly grown and blossomed in this role which is arguably the most difficult as she is the first person any client will see upon entering the firms busiest and most seasoned office location. Deshana has been trained to assist with all aspects of the law firm inner mechanisms and has knowledge of just about everything.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DESHANA…

Desha is “fresh off the boat” from Georgetown, Guyana but already setting her sails toward bigger opportunities to live the “American Dream.”  Deshana had a chance encounter in the Queens office waiting room which quickly turned into a job offer as the firm needed a new legal assistant, she is living proof that being polite and smiling can go a long way.  Deshana brings with her an academic background in business with studies in high school, she is also currently pursuing a degree in Business Administration. Since working for the law firm, she also now has an unexpected new perspective, and is considering a future in law.

Deshana has quickly learned to thrive in a fast-paced environment where attention to detail, organization, and multitasking are key. Whether it's managing documents, assisting clients, or supporting the team behind the scenes, she takes pride in being the go-to person that the entire firm can count on. 

Deshana truly gets the job done, with pride in her work and a positive attitude.

Words from Deshana: “What excites me most about this journey is the chance to connect with people from all walks of life. I’m endlessly fascinated by the stories they bring, reminding me how vast the world is, and yet how connected we all are. Naturally, I’m a quiet and soft-spoken person, someone who tends to observe more than speak. But this role has encouraged me to step out of my shell, connect more confidently with others, and grow in both my personal and professional life. I’ve learned that being quiet doesn’t mean you’re not powerful and sometimes, the biggest growth comes when you’re just a little outside your comfort zone.” 

Fun fact: When Deshana is not working or studying, she is usually curled up with a good book or diving into a new anime series. This is Deshana’s favorite way to unwind and escape into different worlds — both real and imagined.
