Paralegal Wills, trusts, and probate are fields of law where the paralegal can have more contact with the client than the lawyer does. These fields involve the collection of information and identification of assets. Strict attention to detail is a must, as is an ability to deal with clients and family members at a most stressful time. Many paralegals who do not like the hurly-burly of a busy litigation or family law practice find their niche in these areas of the law.
