About me

Aaron Gershfield, a 24-year-old legal assistant, was Northern California-born and raised and has lived near the state capital for the majority of his life. His longest out-of-state residency was from August 2002 until May 2006 while he was studying for his Bachelor’s Degree in Paralegal Studies at Kent State University in Ohio. He achieved high marks in all of his classes and graduated in 2006 with honors. Although he had plenteous legal assisting positions available to him in the Cleveland and Akron, Ohio areas, Aaron Gershfield chose to return to his hometown.

As a result of his academic excellence, Aaron Gershfield was offered a job at the Law Offices of Sacramento, one of Sacramento’s leading law firms, where he worked for two, dedicated years. He was unfortunately let go over a difference of opinion, and after reassessing his priorities, he decided to begin working as a freelance paralegal for a couple months until he found a suitable office job. In March 2008, Fair Oaks Law Firm, a local office specializing in commercial law, hired Aaron Gershfield for the expertise he had garnered during his time at the Sacramento office and had developed through his own initiative as a freelancer.

Aaron Gershfield’s legal assisting skills are numerous and include researching legal data, analyzing client needs, and managing daily tasks. He is well known at his firm for his legal expertise and clear comprehension of many commercial law concepts and the jargon associated with it. His hardworking, self-motivated nature has skyrocketed his career at Fair Oaks Law Firm, and after only a few short months, he has already become one of the key paralegals, supervising the work of several of the firm’s legal assistants, secretaries, and even detectives.

Aaron Gershfield loves his job, which allows him to meet and assist new clients nearly ever day, but his dream is to open his own family law practice someday, which means going to law school. He has already looked at several schools and has applied to and been accepted by the McGeorge School of Law. He hopes to begin taking night classes starting fall 2008.

When he is not working, Aaron Gershfield enjoys maintaining his variety of interests, such as keeping up with current events, solving puzzles and riddles, and reading up on various laws, psychological theories, and other cultures. He is also very interested in analyzing a variety of fiction, such as the works of Neil Gaiman and Kurt Vonnegut, listening to alternative music, by bands like Coldplay, Nickelback, and Dave Matthews, and watching independent films, such as Once, Juno, and Before Sunset.
