A Big Win: Four of Our Own Honored with Paralegal Excellence Awards

Success in family law doesn’t happen alone. Instead, it takes a strong team working together behind the scenes to make sure every client gets the help they need. While attorneys often get the spotlight, the real strength of any busy law firm is its support staff. Because of this, we feel so proud to share some great news for our team.

Today, we are excited to announce that Scene in SA has given four members of Graham Family Law the Paralegal Excellence Award.

So, please join us in congratulating these winners: Nancy Groff, Candy Acevedo, Lisa Salinas, and Raymond Ortegon.

Celebrating Great Support in Legal Work

This award means more than just having something for the wall; it shows the hard work, care, and strong skills these four bring to work every day. Scene in SA created the Paralegal Excellence Award to recognize those who do more than their job. As a result, these winners show great skill, follow high ethical standards, and stay truly committed to helping clients.

Few firms have four winners in a single year. Therefore, this result highlights the high standards we encourage at Graham Family Law.

Meet the Award Winners

Each paralegal brings unique strengths. However, all of them stand out because they commit to helping clients during some of the hardest times of their lives.

• Nancy Groff: Nancy pays close attention to details and stays calm. She gives steady support to clients facing tricky family problems.
• Candy Acevedo: Candy works ahead and knows a lot about court rules. She keeps cases moving forward, no matter what comes up.
  
• Lisa Salinas: Lisa organizes well and listens with care. That helps clients feel heard and keeps their cases on track.
  
• Raymond Ortegon: Raymond focuses on research and prepares cases thoroughly. Thanks to his hard work, our attorneys argue cases effectively in court.

Why Paralegals Are the Heart of Family Law

Family law can feel emotional, fast-paced, and sometimes stressful for clients. Often, paralegals serve as the first people clients speak to during a divorce or custody fight. In fact, they translate legal language into everyday words, assemble stacks of documents, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Whenever a paralegal does a great job, the whole firm feels the benefit. As a result, our lawyers can focus on planning and court work, knowing that support staff have handled everything else.

In the end, this award proves something we have known for a long time: our team stands among the best. We feel grateful to see the larger San Antonio legal community recognize the talent we work alongside every day.

A Note of Thanks

We thank Scene in SA for hosting these awards and highlighting how important paralegals are to law. Furthermore, awards like this inspire our team to keep improving our work for clients.

Most of all, we appreciate Nancy, Candy, Lisa, and Raymond. We always notice your hard work and dedication. Because of you, Graham Family Law delivers results our clients can count on. Congratulations on your well-earned award!
