Paola Perez – Paralegal
Paola Perez has focused the majority of her professional career in personal injury and general liability. Prior to becoming the Paralegal for the Law Firm of R. Sam, she worked for a total of 18 years handling third party liability claims (from pre-litigation through trial) for two of the largest personal injury law firms in the Central Valley.
Personal Life
Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Paola migrated with her parents and brother to San Jose, California in 1989, where she was raised. In 1998, Paola’s family relocated to the Central Valley. She has been lucky enough to be able to raise her own three children (with the help of their loving and supporting family) here as well. She spends her free time working with the less fortunate members of society by volunteering her time with organizations such as: Modesto Gospel Mission Center, United Way of Stanislaus, St. Mary’s Dinning Hall of Stockton, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the American Cancer Society.
Although her passion is in the legal filed, during the past six years she has helped plan, lodge and manage two successful local small businesses. All of this, in addition to: maintaining a full workload, demanding academic agenda, and (most importantly) being a full-time mommy. Having achieved these tasks, Paola now strives to provide the best and most ethical legal experience anyone could have with the Law Firm of R. Sam.
Education
Paola obtained her legal studies degree from Humphreys University and was consistently on the Dean’s List of Honor Students. She graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in 2014. She attended Modesto Junior College and graduated in 2004 with a degree in Liberal Studies. Her commitment to the legal profession includes: completing courses with the Institute of Paralegal Education (IPE), Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) and serving her community by offering pro-bono legal aid services. Her professional affiliations include San Joaquin County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Manteca Chamber of Commerce.
