Thamires D.

I've been in the legal field since 2018, and my journey has been one of continuous growth and learning. I started as a receptionist at a personal injury law firm and worked my way up through various roles - from legal assistant to case manager handling over 180 files of clients in car accidents, slip and falls, hit and runs, and similar cases. In each position, I learned something new that prepared me for the next step. As a legal assistant, I learned how to request police reports and public records. As a case manager, I handled entire cases from start to negotiations. Now, as Records Manager at Social Media Victims Law Center, I handle records firm-wide, including medical records, school records, police records, and public records. I docket them, rename them, make sure they're in the correct place, order and request them, and get everything into the file for the cases that are needed. What makes my current work especially meaningful is that I'm helping families who have lost their kids to social media. We've had quite a lot of breakthroughs recently, and even though I'm not in the forefront, I'm doing work that's valuable. I'm also currently completing my bachelor's degree in law and justice with a minor in cybersecurity, graduating this year. My typical day involves contacting clients, making sure all their documentation is in, requesting police reports, and ensuring I have all the records needed based on the court-appointed plaintiff fact sheet documents we receive for our cases. Every day is different, but that's what keeps the work interesting.
