Happy 15th Anniversary, Vanessa!
On February 6, 2010, my officer manager and legal assistant extraordinaire, Vanessa Cohen, will be with me 15 years. Vanessa is the most organized person I have ever met, and she is responsible for making our office run like a well-oiled machine, even on days when every client seems to call at the same time and needs immediate action. If you are one of our clients with a claim in litigation, you know her as our litigation support specialist who tracks appeal deadlines, court dates, and assists in preparing evidence for hearings. She also tracks when settlement checks are due, and is the patient, competent voice ready to address clients' problems early in the morning before Bianca takes over solving problems for clients who phone us.
Vanessa and I exchanged small gifts today to honor our 15-year anniversary of working together, and she wrote in her card to me, "I still love my job!". Vanessa has a very difficult job helping me represent people at a very low point in their lives after serious, unexpected, and often life-changing accidents. Her compassion for our clients has never wavered, and her love for her job still shows in her devotion to excellence in her work. Thank you so much, Vanessa. Much love, Virginia.
