Paralegals don't always have a degree in paralegal itself. In fact, as much as there are paralegals with paralegal degree, there are some out there who only took trainings and seminars.

Some even finished their masters degrees. That is just how versatile the paralegal profession is. There is no actual formula to be one. You only have to find the best course or training that will suit you.

Legal matters, like complicated divorces or simple estate planning, are faced by everyone eventually. The severity of the legal matter will, of course, determine how long it will take to resolve, and some legal matters can last for years. Every legal matter needs to be handled carefully, regardless of its seriousness. One of the most important things to remember when dealing with a legal matter is to avoid making the situation even worse. Remember that everything you do can come back and bite you, including that profanity you shouted at another motorist or that television you broke during a marital spat. You will later regret your actions, especially if a police officer or emergency hotline operator turns it into a permanent record. Official documents can work for you rather than against you, though. If you report a significant event, like a car accident or a fist fight, there will be official documentation, which can be used later if the matter needs to go to court. Be sure to receive official copies of any reports. You cannot protect your rights without first knowing what they are. This may be as simple as listening to a police officer talk about your rights or reading a book...more
