I should start by saying that my days here at the Firm are anything but typical! I have the privilege of wearing many hats and assisting in several different areas, which keeps things interesting. I started working at the Law Firm on a part-time basis while finishing my bachelor’s degree at Arizona State University. I guess you could say I had an “in” at the Firm since my mom is Pam Matheson, who is also a Legal Assistant here. With her countless years of experience in this field, she is a fantastic resource and example for me on a daily basis.
I have been at the Firm on a full-time basis now since January of 2018. I focus much of my time assisting Emily and our clients with uncontested guardianship and conservatorship matters. We often provide assistance to parents who have children with developmental disabilities that are turning 18 years old and are seeking legal guardianship. I also work closely with personal injury attorneys to help families understand the terms of a settlement and to ensure that the settlement funds are handled in a way that the beneficiary will not lose their eligibility for government assistance programs like DDD and SSI. I also work with family members who have a parent or other loved one who has dementia or some other diagnosis where they can no longer manage their personal decisions or financial decisions and a guardian and/or conservator is needed.
I also assist with our fiduciary matters. Emily has been appointed by the Court to serve as Conservator, as well as Trustee of several trusts, including special needs trusts. When serving as Trustee or Conservator, it is our job to help those we serve with budgeting the funds available, obtaining case management services, arranging for in-home care services, selling and buying real estate, setting up general household utilities and paying their bills. This list of services we provide as a fiduciary is constantly evolving as we strive to meet the individual needs of our clients. Getting to work closely with these clients and having the opportunity to assist them in managing their daily lives is a such a gratifying experience.
Every day at the Firm is different and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I truly enjoy the variety of work, our fantastic clients and the wonderful team (including the dogs) that I have the opportunity to work with here at the Firm!
