Description
Finding a firm that is the right fit for you, from a cultural perspective, can be challenging. At the Gentry Law Firm, you will find a distinct organization. From the owner, William Gentry, to the team of attorneys, and paralegals - all the way through to the marketing team, Gentry Law is about helping people, mainly women, through the challenging process of divorce and doing it with a very strategic, client-focused approach.
Through extensive market research, Gentry has confirmed what is paramount for their potential new clients. Clients desire an attorney and paralegal with plenty of experience in divorce and family law. Further, they seek compassionate legal support and to be guided with respect, dignity, and kindness through one of the most challenging times in their lives. Family law is not for everyone, but if you are someone who has a passion for helping people obtain a fair outcome while protecting children from the nasty side of divorce, this might be the firm for you.
Gentry Law clients want paralegals with a great bedside manner. The ability to be a relatable professional, an accessible expert, and a trustworthy confidant. Gentry law firm clients are often well-educated, with significant assets, and often have children. This demands our paralegals be able to conduct a thorough discovery process and assist their attorney in the creation of carefully crafted strategies to win their cases. If a case goes to mediation or trial, we expect our paralegals to assist our attorneys in their preparation. Our goal with every case is to exceed the clients' expectations.
Bottom line, Gentry Law Firm wants to add paralegals to fit our unique culture - one where emotionally intelligent employees respect clients and team members and prioritize the clients' wishes while guiding them to their desired outcomes.
