"I have been extremely impressed with how well informed Natalie has been on each case. She is always ready with access to any document being discussed and contributes valuable insight to the discussions, which has earned her my sobriquet “Radar O’Reilly” from the M*A*S*H television series. The American Associate of Justice and Thomson West awarded Natalie the honor of Paralegal of the Year Award. The judges decided on the honoree based upon commitment to the legal profession including tutoring, mentoring, speaking engagements, teaching commitments and upholding the AAJ’s mission. There are over 50,000 attorney members of AAJ worldwide. Natalie’s personality and demeanor is exceptional. If hired she will be an invaluable asset."
*Daniel E. Nastro, Retired Maricopa County, Arizona Superior Court Judge, 602-565-0045 "I have had the pleasure of working with Natalie on numerous occasions over the past decade. We have worked together primarily on medical negligence cases. Natalie is intelligent and hard working. She is committed, even intense, in her pursuit of justice for my clients. She understands the challenges of medical negligence cases in particular: she knows the special rules that apply and is excellent at doing medical research, background research on witnesses, and what is required of the statutes and rules of procedure that apply to medical negligence cases. Natalie has experience in other types of cases as well. She has been a litigation paralegal for many years. I know that I can rely upon her when I hire her. I hope to work with her again in the future. I invite anyone who reads this letter to give me a call if you would like to discuss Natalie’s qualifications and abilities." *Frank Verderame, Arizona Attorney, 602-266-2002 “Natalie has truly demonstrated her dedication to the clients she works for. Whether the case is large or small, she works with equal diligence and determination. She will personally visit clients in their homes at the start of each case, go through a two week trial with little or no sleep, or stay in touch with the client after representation is complete so that they know she is still here. Words cannot describe her dedication to our clients.” *Bernard Elliot Grysen, M.D., J.D., 616-847-2121 "I have been a practicing attorney for many years in this Firm, a sole practitioner, and a partner in a large Detroit based law firm, where I worked for several years with Ms. Andrus. I have had occasion to work with a substantial amount of paralegals while in practice, and I can say that Ms. Andrus, without exception, is the finest I have met. She demonstrated a consistent ability to develop organizational methods for complex cases and to work independently and with minimal guidance. Her analytical capabilities are excellent. Her written work is better than that of many attorneys. She is a picture of organization, planning her work carefully and following through on that plan. She is unafraid of hard work; even when it was clear that she was buried with work.Her judgment and professionalism in dealing with peers, superiors, and clients is among the highest I have seen. She is an individual who is easy to work with, maintaining a friendly and even-tempered demeanor and a personal sensitivity to the concerns of both clients and colleagues." *John M. Lichtenberg, Rhoades McKee, P.C., 616-235-3500 “I have known Natalie since January of 1994 when she began teaching as an adjunct professor at Davenport University. Since that time Natalie has taught classes in both the Law and Administrative Services Departments. Natalie has done an excellent job as an adjunct professor. She has gone above and beyond the requirements of her teaching position and has been actively involved in events sponsored by the paralegal student organization and in committee work focused on improving our programs. She has been able to draw on her academic background and her work experience to create a very positive learning environment for her students.” *Ruth S. Stevens, Director of Paralegal Studies, Davenport University, 616-331-7173 “While Mrs. Andrus was employed by me, she exhibited a sincere, enthusiastic, hardworking approach to her job. Mrs. Andrus accepted responsibility very willingly and was never afraid to take on new challenges. Mrs. Andrus especially liked preparing cases for trial. Mrs. Andrus developed an understanding and respect for the law, courts and counsel. Mrs. Andrus left my employment to continue her education. While attending the University of Michigan as a full-time student, she continued to work as a legal assistant. Mrs. Andrus remains determined to utilize her education and experience while continuing to learn and grow professionally.” *Richard E. Zambon, Attorney at Law, 616-456-7831 |
