Fort Worth Paralegal Leslie Stokes named Legal Professional of the Year
Ms. Stokes, a native of Fort Worth, was presented with the award at the Texas ALP’s recent annual meeting in Arlington. She has worked as a paralegal at the Laird firm for the past six years.
Ms. Stokes works under the supervision of two attorneys on complex medical malpractice and personal injury cases. She is involved in every aspect of trial preparation, including handling upkeep of case files, meeting with clients, monitoring deadlines, coordinating and scheduling depositions, hearings, mediations, and expert interviews. In addition, she researches legal issues, drafts pleadings and discovery and does background research on witnesses.
“Leslie is an invaluable member of our legal team,” says firm founder Steven C. Laird. “Without her and our other paralegals, we lawyers wouldn’t be prepared to set foot in a courtroom. She is very deserving of this honor.”
Ms. Stokes has served as an officer of the Fort Worth Association of Legal Professionals, including two terms as its president. The Fort Worth Legal Secretaries Association honored her as its “New Member of the Year 1993-1994” and “Legal Secretary of the Year 1995-1996.” In addition, she was recognized as one of eight Tarrant County “Women in Law” in 2002.
