Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie and will be graduating with my BS in Legal Studies with a Paralegal certificate. I'm looking into starting a VA business hopefully soon and in the meantime I will be working for a temp agencies, volunteering for the courts and legal organizations in my area. I hope I can take that experience and work with attorneys and people handling their own legal cases. I have not come up with a name for my company, still trying to narrow down the choices, but I am doing research and gathering as much information as I can. I have found very good information on this forum and I will enjoy meeting all of you.

Hi there, welcome!
Congratulations on taking the first steps toward starting your virtual assistant business - you'll find plenty of information and support here so don't be shy about posting your own questions and comments.

I'll look forward to learning more about you and your business goals - see you on the boards!

Congratulations also on graduating with your BS! That is awesome .

I think it is fantastic that you are starting out with temping. You will find that this will give you a lot of opportunities and as you said, gain the experience to really specialize in your field.

The best of luck to you. I'm a "displaced" Southern Californian. I am from San Diego, but now live in South Florida. I sure miss it there!

Thanks Tess and Patty,

I have put alot of thought into how I wanted to enter the Paralegal world. I feel that working for a temp agency will give me the variety that I'm looking for and will provide alot of contacts that I hope to grow into lasting relationships. Thanks for the encouragment and I hope to be walking across the stage in May to receive my degree.

Patty I was in Florida several years ago with my daughters when my they ran track. It was okay but there is no place like Southern California, so I know how you feel.

I will be looking forward to talking with you both as time goes on.
