I am officially employed!

I received a job offer today from a Palo Alto law firm called Gilfix & La Poll and I accepted! You can check them out at Gilfix.com. This was the interview I had on Friday, which went very well. They called me in for a follow-up interview yesterday, where I met with Mr. Gilfix and Mr. La Poll, who I liked a lot. Mr. Gilfix is from Michigan and Mr. LaPoll is from Connecticut, so I was very comfortable in a room full of yankees!

I will be starting as a Paralegal and, if I learn a lot, work very hard and prove myself (and eventually take the CA bar and pass it), it will be possible for me to become an associate attorney. This is one of the elite estate planning firms in California, so I feel very lucky to get my foot in the door this way! The paralegals there basically do everything an attorney does, except dispense legal advice and appear in court. I am really looking forward to the work. This position will allow me to get some amazing experience and learn from the cream of the crop. I am very excited!!
