Welcome

“The effective use of qualified paralegals is an invaluable asset to the practice of law, improving efficiency, productivity, and the quality of legal services provided to clients. By delegating appropriate tasks such as legal research, document preparation, discovery, and case management, attorneys can devote more time to legal analysis, client counseling, and courtroom advocacy. This partnership promotes thorough case preparation, cost-effective services, and better outcomes for clients." 

"The Legal Assistants/Paralegals of Southern West Virginia plays an important role in strengthening this partnership through continuing legal education and professional development for its members. The knowledge and skills gained through the organization's educational programs help paralegals remain current on legal developments, procedures, and ethical standards. As an attorney who relies on skilled paralegals, I recognize the value of this education in supporting competent, efficient legal services and enhancing the professionalism of the legal community throughout West Virginia.”
