Leslie Sansone Williams is an author of “Legal Break-In” and is a beginner paralegal coach and course developer. She is the creator of the ‘Beginner Paralegal Growth Accelerator Membership” designed to help those who wish to learn how to gain the legal knowledge attorneys wish you possessed in order to enter the paralegal job market (with or without a college education!) and the “Cover Letter Secrets Class“ which is meant to assist the entry-level paralegal draft a top notch, attention-getting cover letter (avoid “0” callbacks!) to land the perfect first paralegal position.
One of the reasons Leslie felt compelled to write “Legal Break-In” was to provide those who are looking at the Paralegal Career for the first time a place to begin the journey and also have a chance to take a look behind the scenes.
She created both the “Beginner Paralegal Growth Accelerator Membership” & “Cover Letter Secrets Class” for the same reason – to provide a true picture of the paralegal career, i.e., what legal knowledge & skills attorneys wish every job applicant had, how to draft an outstanding cover letter, how to dissect job ads, where to find the best job ads, which jobs NOT to apply for, how to handle the interview process & so much more. Yep – all with or without the need of a college degree, certificate or experience! (PLEASE NOTE: It is imperative that you research your state’s Paralegal Regulations to determine what is required in order to call yourself a Paralegal. California, for instance, has revised their Paralegal Regulations which now require either a two (2) year degree in Paralegal Studies or an online Paralegal Certificate.)

Also available for viewing are over 950+ YouTube videos on Leslie’s channel, “Paralegal Career Mastermind”. Be sure to take a look if you are considering this career. And as Leslie always says in her videos: “Take good notes while you’re watching the videos!”

The foundation of my personal life and business is this… In 1976, I began reading a little devotional booklet called “Our Daily Bread” and read how much Jesus loved me, a sinner and that if I was sorry for my sins and repented and turned from them, He would save me. And that’s what I did. On a cold Spring day on my back patio, I asked Jesus to be my Savior. You see, God says this in His Word…”For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 If you don’t know Jesus, invite Him into your heart today. Your life will never be the same. ~~Leslie xo

Hi I was hoping it wasn’t too late to join your class! I found and subscribed to your YouTube channel 2 days ago. I just finished my business administration program and got a job as a legal assistant without any formal degree or experience in a law office. I am my attorneys only assistant and would like to learn my job better! If so, hopefully I can still join!!
