💻 Why I Truly Love Being a Mobile Notary & Freelance Paralegal
After spending several years as a stay-at-home mom, I realized how much I missed being a paralegal and working in the legal field. I missed the structure, the responsibility, and the sense of purpose that comes from helping people navigate important legal documents.
When I decided to return to the workforce, I did so thoughtfully and gradually. I began working with a real estate agent and later a title insurance company – fields I had always enjoyed and felt comfortable in. Real estate allowed me to reconnect with legal work while easing back into a professional role that fit my life at the time.
It wasn’t long before something clicked. I already held my notary public commission, and I realized I could build my own business-one that combined my legal background, my love for helping people, and the flexibility my family needed. Becoming a mobile notary allowed me to serve clients on my own terms, meet them where they are, and still maintain a schedule that worked for my household.
Several years into this journey, I can confidently say: this is exactly where I’m meant to be!
✅ The Impact This Work Has on Clients
One of the most rewarding parts of being a mobile notary is knowing that my work truly makes life easier for people. Convenience matters. Clients appreciate not having to take time off from work, find transportation, or navigate unfamiliar offices. By meeting them in their homes, workplaces, hospitals or care facilities, I remove one more obstacle from an already busy or stressful day.
This service is especially meaningful for elderly clients who can no longer leave their homes, and for individuals who are hospitalized or facing serious medical situations. I’ve assisted clients who needed estate planning documents notarized before major surgeries or shortly after receiving terminal diagnoses. There have been appointments where I walked out of a hospital in tears-because those moments remind me just how important this work truly is and that life is short.
I’m present for people on some of their happiest days, like purchasing a home, and on some of their most difficult ones. Being trusted during those moments is something I never take lightly.
💡 Why Freelance Paralegal Work Matters
My freelance paralegal services play a different-but equally important- role. Solo attorneys and small law firms often need experienced support but don’t have the budget for a full-time employee. Freelance paralegal services provide a practical, cost-effective solution.
By working on an as-needed basis or assisting with specific projects, I help attorneys reduce overhead costs while still delivering quality work to their clients. It’s truly a win-win: attorneys get reliable, experienced support, and I get to do meaningful legal work while maintaining independence and flexibility.
✨ Experience, Responsiveness and Professionalism
With over 18 years of paralegal experience, I bring a strong understanding of legal documents to every notary appointment. I’m comfortable working with complex paperwork and can assist clients with document completion in a professional, efficient manner-without providing legal advice.
I also understand how valuable time is. People don’t want to wait for hours for a response when they’re trying to handle something important. I take pride in answering my phone or responding quickly, clearly and professionally to inquiries. When someone reaches out, they’re often looking for immediate reassurance that help is available-and I strive to provide that.
✅ Personal Fulfillment and the Bigger Picture
Running my own business is incredibly fulfilling. I’m self-motivated, independent and always learning. I love being able to make decisions for my business, structure my work in a way that aligns with my values, and continue growing professionally.
Above all, I hope every client walks away feeling that they were treated with professionalism, kindness and respect-no matter the circumstances. I handle every document with the utmost care and every client interaction with compassion.
This work allows me to serve my community, support families, assist attorneys and be present during moments that truly matter. That’s why I love what I do-and why I continue showing up every day with purpose.
