About
Cathy L. Ribble is the visionary behind Digital Paralegal Services, LLC. After working as a legal professional in the traditional law firm setting for over 15 years, Cathy understood that the current economic climate is creating a new need and opportunity for paralegals. Attorneys need to cut costs for themselves and their clients. Part of that equation is partnering with qualified paralegals and support personnel who can provide professional services at reasonable rates. Digital Paralegal Services, LLC was formed in 2009 to meet that need.
Cathy earned her Certified Legal Assistant (CLA) title from the National Association of Legal Assistants early in her career. In 2009, she re-established that professional certification by earning her Certified Paralegal (CP) title. The certification process was launched in 1975 by the National Association of Legal Assistants to provide professional recognition to those who achieve significant competence in the paralegal career field. NALA’s examination program consists of a two-day examination covering communications, ethics, legal research, judgment and analytical ability, and substantive law.
Use of the CLA/CP credential indicates that a legal assistant/paralegal is capable of providing superior services to attorneys. The credential has been recognized by the American Bar Association and law firms throughout the country as an indicator of skill level. Maintaining that certification requires continuing legal education.
Throughout her career, Cathy has developed a well-rounded legal background and had extensive experience in the area of civil litigation in Texas and Oklahoma, including trial support.
Cathy is committed to growth and learning, and she plans to seek NALA’s Advanced Paralegal Certificate.
