The first introduction of a new client to a law firm is often through the firm’s legal assistant. Here, the Hartmann Law Firm and its clients are fortunate to work with Stephanie Barrera. Since 2016, she has worked exclusively for the firm.  

Stephanie’s roles among many are to keep cases organized, monitor the firm’s calendar, document actions, input information into the firm database and case management software, and confirm the status of cases with Bob and Shelly. She keeps clients informed of the progress of their case.

Stephanie opens and maintains case files, manages discovery, sets DMV hearing appointments, and uses her considerable multitasking and administrative experience to provide detailed support to the attorneys and their clients. She enhances the lawyer’s trial preparation by organizing evidence, preparing exhibits, scheduling witness interviews and ensuring they are where they should be when needed at the trial courtroom.

Stephanie graduated with honors from Saddleback College and received her paralegal certificate from the University of California Irvine, an ABA-approved paralegal program. In her spare time, Stephanie enjoys gardening, spending time with her family and completing her bachelor's degree in psychology.
