According to the Paralegal Rules of Conduct, a paralegal shall be honest and candid when advising clients (Rule 3.02(2)). Specifically, according to Guideline 7,
1. A paralegal has a duty of candour with the client on matters relevant to the retainer. A paralegal is required to inform the client of information known to the paralegal that may affect the interests of the client in the matter.
2. A paralegal must honestly and candidly advise the client regarding the law and the client’s options, possible outcomes and risks of his or her matter, so that the client is able to make informed decisions and give the paralegal appropriate instructions regarding the case. Fulfillment of this professional responsibility may require a difficult but necessary conversation with a client and/or delivery of bad news. It can be helpful for advice that is not well-received by the client to be given or con-firmed by the paralegal in writing.

My experiences may not be exactly the same as yours, but I can guarantee that in whatever area you reach out to me for, I have either been there personally or have been holding someone’s hand.
I have been wronged, I have been given the run-around, I have pieced together resources and have advocated for my family, friends, and for myself when no one would help or even listen because I couldn’t afford to pay big retainers.
My personal and professional experiences, and my passion for doing what is right, will be to your advantage.
I am so excited to work with you! Thank you for choosing TBH legal!
