RE: Paralegal

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for the Paralegal position at Lakeview Organization. With six years of experience and a reputation for legal research and document drafting, I am confident I can make an immediate contribution to your team.

In my current role at Hale & Whitmore LLP, I supported three attorneys in litigation with a caseload of 60+ active matters. I also drafted pleadings, discovery requests, and correspondence for attorney review.

I am known for legal research, document drafting, westlaw and lexisnexis, and I take pride in drafting documents. I would bring the same focus and energy to Lakeview Organization.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience can support your goals. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Casey Okafor
