Working as a Kugelman Law Legal Assistant

After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Legal Studies from University of California, Berkeley, Eric Ahern wanted to take a transition year to confirm that the legal field was the right fit for him.

Working as a Legal Assistant at Kugelman Law gave Eric the experience and confidence needed to properly prepare for law school.

"I would not feel as certain with my decision to go to law school (and pay for law school!) if I hadn't first worked at a law firm," Eric said. "In close proximity, I observed how elite attorneys should think, speak, write and carry themselves. My interest in the law reached new heights."

With confirmation that being a lawyer is his career of choice, Eric is attending University of California, Berkeley - School of Law in August 2022 to focus on data privacy and other tech law issues.

"One aspect that I enjoyed about working at a firm that focuses on cryptocurrency relates to how new the field still is," he said. "The attorneys at Kugelman Law must adapt to new regulations as they come about, and they are quite good at doing it."

As Kugelman Law's Legal Assistant, Eric assists the company's attorneys and other licensed professionals with managing the entire life cycle of a case, as well as serving as the dedicated intake specialist handling all potential and current client inquiries.

He works alongside experienced, top-tier attorneys who not only provide excellent service and representation but who also care about the needs and goals of their clients. 

For someone to succeed at a small firm like Kugelman Law, one must show up with a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a desire to get as much from the experience as possible. It is important to utilize your emotional intelligence and problem solving skills and to speak up when you have questions.

"Because the firm is relatively small, I always felt like I had an important role to play. In other words, I was never just a cog in the machine nor lost in a sea of other legal assistants, administrative employees, paralegals, etc.," he said. "This made the job very rewarding as I felt that the firm's success was my success, too."

Alexander helped me break down my tax situation and used his expertise to figure out the next actionable steps, make sure that all the bases were covered (that I wasn't aware even existed), and confirm that things were done correctly. If you are confused and stuck in a difficult tax situation, Alexander will guide you forward and help you confidently resolve the issue. Henry Wang

If you are having tax trouble, Alexander is the one to help you. He was very professional, personable, and easy to reach. His explanation of the entire process is helpful for easing the stress that is associated with tax trouble. We never felt intimidated or out of the loop while working with him. The process was handled to our liking and we are satisfied with the results. Even the after care has been phenomenal! Tony W.
★★★★★
If anyone out there is in need of stellar legal tax assistance, look no further and contact Alexander Kugelman. He helped me tremendously with my tax situation and is always there to help when needed. If I can give Alexander more stars, I would because 5 stars is not enough! Thank you for everything, Alex!!!

Alexander has been a life saver! I got dragged into some serious IRS issues with a complicated foreign assignment component, which included divorce. Alexander has been working with me to resolve directly with the IRS. Alexander is detail oriented, responsive and I trust him to guide me. I will be using Alexander for all tax related matters from now on! He is stuck with me forever. Eve T.

Alexander helped me understand the IRS audit process and prepared my response. There were certain records that I had lost, but he suggested alternatives that the IRS accepted. Even better, he showed up at the audit for me and I never actually had to talk with the IRS. I didn't have to pay any penalties. I'd definitely recommend hiring Alexander to deal with an IRS issue.
