Legal Assistant Internship

by Marcella Mackey

I am doing my internship for the Law Office of Nancy McCombs. I began my internship on August 7, 2013. I work every Monday and Wednesday from 9-5.

Nancy McCombs takes potential clients who have been denied Social Security benefits. Nancy McCombs has an associate attorney, two legal assistants and a bookkeeper on staff. The office is small in size. But the amount of work she does, as well as her office, for her clients is huge. 

My job title is legal assistant. My job duties are to update and maintain client files including status, reminders and updates. I call US Social Security offices to update clients' case status'. I maintain contact with health care providers regarding client release of information status. I also steadily check status of client cases on the Social Security database.


My internship is a great opportunity for me to gain experience and knowledge as a legal assistant as well as an office assistant.
