Dean Radcliffe D.

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤? Bring me, Radcliffe, on board for reliable legal support. I help keep cases organized, responsive, and moving forward. I have supported a Virginia boutique law firm since September 2024, working inside the firm’s daily workflow using MyCase and Google Workspace to coordinate with attorneys, court clerks, opposing counsel, and clients. I also have earlier Upwork experience dating back to 2020, which included smaller research, writing, and administrative projects before I moved into more consistent legal support work. My focus is on case administration, client communication, document organization, deadline tracking, and settlement follow-up so attorneys can focus on legal strategy instead of administrative tasks. I have supported matters involving debt collection and defense, including warrant in debt, garnishments, debt disputes, demand letters, and settlement coordination, as well as Chapter 7 bankruptcy support, traffic cases, family law matters, and other general practice work handled by the firm. ➤ 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗦 (𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘) • Debt Collection & Defense (Warrant in Debt, Garnishments, Disputes) • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (Administrative Support) • Traffic Cases • Family Law (Uncontested and Contested Divorce) • General Civil Matters ➤ 𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗣𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 While my current experience is in the areas above, my role has required me to quickly adapt to new case types, workflows, and firm requirements.
