Administrative Professionals Day Spotlight: Robert Haverty

What motivated you to pursue a career in the legal industry, and how has it lived up to your expectation so far?

I had the chance to work as an office support staff in a law firm over 30 years ago. It has been great working in a law firm and learning about how they run.

Can you describe a typical day in your role as an administrative staff member at the firm?

My typical day in my role is to check emails in the morning to see if anything is needed, make photocopies, close files for storage, order supplies as needed for the office, run any mail, make any deliveries to courts or banks, bring mail to the post office, scan documents, and help out the staff with general needs.

Always try your best and work hard for your employer.

I love to walk, hike, do photography, be outdoors, and help/volunteer in my church.
