Hi Kristi,

I just want say thank you for forwarding this job opportunity. I took the time to reply to the job posting submitting the resume I created with all the tips I learned through our last module Career Development and I got a response from them requesting me to have a meeting today. I was a little nervous because I did not know what kind of questions I would be asked, however I kept confident and I told myself just apply all the learning we have been exposed to within the program. I was asked what I knew about probate law, specifically estate planning and litigation, I responded with an overview from what we have been taught, specifically by Mr. Arnold in probate law and litigation law, I also explained what I knew about discovery and form interrogatories which was very helpful thanks to Brandon Klock of course for teaching the module, after almost two hours and after meeting the rest of the attorneys. I am proud and excited to say that I was offered the case assistant position with the ability to become a paralegal within the company after I gather more hands on training of course which the firm has agreed to provide for me as they are looking for a long term employee.

I not only negotiated a fair salary but I was able to negotiate more hours a week too as well as more salary then what the original job posting had advertised. I truly believe this was all possible because of all the training I received within the Paralegal program.

Thank you for everything,

Ana

Jonathan, 

I wanted to thank you for listening to me the other day….. Partly, and to be honest, I am pursuing the paralegal field because in thirteen years as a social worker, I have seen my fair share of drama, and exposure to client and families feelings.  I love being a social worker, and as I mentioned I will be training a student from CSUN soon.  I am really sending you this email to tell you that my involvement within the paralegal program I know has helped me to not only become a better social worker, but a better person, who knows more about individual rights, to help my clients in no matter what direction my future career takes me.

Enjoy the rest of your week 

Be well!  Always,  

Nicole

Dear Professor Arnold, Esq:

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for a vastly learning and enjoyable experience. You delivered the paralegal subject matter in a way that maximizes the learning experience to the fullest.  I especially enjoyed hearing about specific cases that you dealt with and how you tied the material to actual application of the law.

Additionally, I have always enjoyed Law and its constituent principles and having you as a professor validated that Law was my calling.  I was further humbled by your acknowledgement of my passion and drive for the fundamental tenets of what Law is about. As such, I may pursue a Law degree in the future as you recommended after I put in the work and long hours that will allow me the opportunity to garner a clearer perspective and experience relative to this field.

Thank you again for making it a rewarding and humbling experience albeit, all the late nights burning the midnight oil studying and researching.

Yours truly,

Olivia

Dear Mr. Arnold

Today I was hired at F. O.'s Law Firm. They're personal injury and bankruptcy. Mr. 'O' was impressed with my knowledge. I had to write you to thank you for preparing me so thoroughly. I knew exactly what he was talking about when he described what I'd be doing as one of his paralegals. I owe it to you and the school. Thank you for helping me create a better life for my family and me.


Thank you. Respectfully,

Ric,

I cannot stress enough just how much this school prepared me. Every base was covered. I'm appreciative of all that was given me. You and Sharen were always there for me, rooting me on. I felt it the first day I met you both. How you worked with me financially, still touches me to this day. The whole faculty was warm, encouraging and helpful. Now, with this new job that I got, I will apply what I have learned. And I will continue to grow and learn. I hope to help make a difference for others, as I now have such a luxury.

Thank you. Respectfully,

On October 10 I had just retired from a 30 year law enforcement career that included serving as a Deputy Sheriff in California and as a Federal Special Agent. I
was trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life.
I conducted a computer search on California Paralegal Training Program and found the Los Angeles Valley College programs one of the highest recommended in the state with several testimonials from former students. I moved to Northridge this year and enrolled in the Professional Paralegal Academy. During my federal career I attended training in legal issues at a number of Federal Law Enforcement Training Center sites that contained many subject matter experts...Your instructors are head and shoulders above any of the Federal Legal Instructors by which I had been instructed in the past. Additionally, the program is better preparing me than many of the other Paralegal Programs in the area prepare graduates.

I find that I have learned more and can do more than most of the graduates and students of other programs thanks its a great part to the excellent program you are running here.

5 star review rating for los angeles valley college for www.legalfieldcareers.com Sandra P. Sun Valley, CA

"I went to LAVC for a few years before transferring to CSUN. Let me tell you had it not been for Valley there is no way in hell I would ever have attended a four year university. It took me a while to understand that thats what I wanted to do, but when I did Valley encouraged and facilitated the transition to a university. I had great professors that offered personal examples into their lectures which made it very interesting. As with any college or university there are bad apples so make sure you check out http://ratemyprofessor... to see what kind of teacher is teaching the course you want to take. Overall I can say I would recommend Valley to anyone who is looking to improve their skills or transfer to a university. Valley is undergoing a lot of renovations to the parking structures and buildings so do plan for construction on campus but it is only to better serve its students."

5 star review for lavc www.legalfieldcareers.com Tammy H. Los Angeles, CA

I cant' believe Valley College only has 27 reviews so far lol. What can I say: I love this community college! I came here the Fall of `06 fresh out of high school and graduated June `2010 with an Associates Degree! Yay! I never thought I would have the discipline to finish community college.... but still, i have some really great memories of this school. I know, as i student, I was minimally involved with the campus and all of its wide range of activities offered (tutoring, library, clubs, sports, plays, music..ETC)..but still, my memories of this place is overwhelmingly bittersweet, and the most positive experience i can ever ask for. I had some really wonderful, dedicated, and amazing teachers. I`ll never forget them and ill never forget what they taught me. Same goes to my counselors, especially Ms. Gee, she was awesome. I truly struggled to complete the 60 units, and all the classes i didnt think id learn anything from, i still did. I can still remember my first day like it was yesterday... I was 17 years old and i was lost, looking for my next class, but it was okay cus it didnt start for an hour and a half, and i remember wandering the beautiful wooded areas of Valley, enchanted by the swaying trees, thinking, God, what a beautiful campus, it was like taking a stroll through a forest. I emerge 4 years later wiser, more educated, more disciplined, a kinder person, and a more well-rounded adult. I will never forget this wonderful place, it was like a second home to me."

Hi Jon

It has been a challenge to 'stay the course' and as my Professor, I appreciate the balanced substance of you classes that kept me on my toes. The Lighter witticisms given in class alleviated undue 'student anxiety' & 'student boredom', as intended I'm sure. I was also intrigued by the notion of fulfilling the externship through your office if my job failed to meet the standard. Thanks for everything.

Good evening Jonathan

I was a student of yours at LA Valley College. Paralegal Program in 2009. I also completed my externship at your office in Reseda. I am applying for law school next month and am respectfully asking if you would be willing to write a letter of recommendation for me. My aspirations of attending law school were strengthened after the Paralegal Program. The Business Law Section that you taught greatly advanced my interest in transactional law and briefing actual cases during the externship has been one of the most valuable experiences I have had.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration

Sincerely
