Background

Aly's career in the legal field started in 2010 after obtaining her paralegal certificate from National Paralegal College in Phoenix, AZ.  While working full time, she realized her passion in the legal industry and went back to school to obtain her Bachelor's Degree in Legal Studies to help improve her knowledge and career path. ​

Her main focus has been civil litigation, but is eager to learn and adapt to all spectrums and practices.

She has predominant experience in the medical and personal injury litigation fields.  Formerly a business and account manager for a records retrieval company, she developed a passion for reviewing medical charts, preparing summaries and investigating into medical terminology to enhance her knowledge of the same.  This experience has made her efficient in reading, reviewing and understanding medical terminology, medical billing and HIPAA regulations.

As a professional paralegal since 2010, Aly is knowledgeable in multiple legal programs including Westlaw, Lexis Nexis, QuickBooks, Adobe, Microsoft Office, Sanction, TimeMap, Tabs3, Worldox, TimeMatters, Needles and dictation modules.  She has experience with legal writing and terminology including preparing, drafting, verifying, and filing/service of documents either through facsimile, US mail and the newly developed and implemented electronic filing systems. Aly is well versed in local state and federal rules and regulations, and has basic knowledge of various legal policies and procedures implemented around the country. She is an organized individual who is understanding of deadlines and statute of limitation implications that can arise.

Having an asset with the ability to adapt to each firm's environment is crucial to the firm's success.
