Q&A: What does a paralegal do and is it a good profession?
Question by Smart O: What does a paralegal do and is it a good profession?
My friend said paralegals are just secretaries with an office. But I’ve also heard that they do attorney work, but can’t sign anything or give advice. Hmmm does not make sense. But what is a paralegal and why do you need a four year college degree and a paralegal certificate (6 years of school) to work at a good firm. I’d rather become a lawyer instead.

It depends. Some are if they work in a large firm with a lot of first year associates. But if you work in a small firm they would have you do more writing of briefs and other lawyer type work. However, big law firms can pay up to S80,0000 a year + overtime , especially in California depending on what type of law. Intellectual property paralegals usually get paid a lot. I used to work in HR a few years back for a big law firm. But most of the paralegals I knew were miserable. If you can afford it, become an attorney instead.

For Bankruptcy, is a paralegal just as good as a lawyer?
Question by ShannonsJoy: For Bankruptcy, is a paralegal just as good as a lawyer?
We are in a bind and only getting in deeper, so we have to file bankruptcy. We have a home and two vehicles we want to try and keep. Is a paralegal service that says they specialize in Bankruptcy just as compident as a lawyer? The fee’s a lawyer wants to charge me is so steep I cant even pay her. And we are being sued so we have to get this done. Any suggestions or opinions?
