Kareen Joy S.

I am a Philippine-qualified attorney with over three years of experience supporting a U.S. law firm remotely, specializing in personal injury pre-suit and litigation case management, legal drafting, and litigation support. I started as an Intake Specialist and gradually took on greater responsibilities, eventually managing pre-suit cases and litigation cases simultaneously as the sole legal assistant in the firm. My areas of experience include: *Pre-Suit & Personal Injury Case Management *Client intake, communication, and case management *Medical records, billing, and treatment coordination *Insurance claims, PIP, Medicare, Medicaid, and subrogation *Demand letters, medical chronologies, and settlement packages *Medical bill reductions, lien resolution, and disbursement sheets Litigation Case Management *Drafting pleadings, motions, discovery, and legal correspondence *State and federal court electronic filing *Litigation calendars, deadlines, and case tracking *Coordinating depositions, mediations, hearings, and trial preparation *Legal research, evidence review, and document organization *Tools & Legal Operations *Clio Legal Case Management Software *Medicare Secondary Payer Recovery Portal (MSPRP) *Microsoft Office and PDF document management *Case-management workflows and process improvement Having worked in both pre-suit and litigation, I've learned how important thorough preparation, attention to detail, and timely follow-ups are throughout a case. I believe good case management means understanding what needs to be done, anticipating potential issues, and helping attorneys stay ahead of their responsibilities. I am proactive, organized, compassionate, and comfortable working independently. I enjoy learning new systems, improving workflows, and finding ways to make the team's work easier. I'm looking to build long-term working relationships with law firms where I can contribute my experience, continue learning, and become a dependable part of the team.
