WHY CHOOSE A BOARD CERTIFIED PARALEGAL?

In 2019 Cathy became a Board Certified Family Law Paralegal by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and in 2022 she became dual-certified when she passed the exam to become a Board Certified Civil Trial Law Paralegal making her one of less than twenty dual-certified paralegals in Texas.


The Texas Board of Legal Specialization extended to the paralegal profession in 1994 when they became the first state-associated program in the nation to certify paralegals in specialized areas of law. The application process and testing are voluntary and extensive.


These certifications distinguish Cathy as a paralegal with the highest professional commitment to excellence in Family Law and Civil Trial Law allowing her to represent herself as a Specialist in those areas. There are thousands of paralegals in Texas and approximately four hundred are Board Certified with fewer than twenty holding two certifications.

ABOUT WES FRASIER

Wes spent 22 years working as a land surveyor before making a major career shift. As Cathy was building Frasier Legal Services, Wes would spend his evenings learning how to draft legal documents and expanding his understanding of legal procedures. The pandemic provided him with more time at home which he used to deepen his paralegal knowledge. In March 2021, he made the leap and transitioned full-time into the legal field as a paralegal.


Today, Wes plays a key role in the day-to-day operations at Frasier Legal, handling tasks such as e-filing and managing discovery. His attention to detail ensures that discovery documents are properly formatted, organized and bookmarked with a comprehensive production log. His other tasks include inventory and appraisements, tracing of commingled funds and assisting in discovery deficiency—making him an invaluable asset to the team.


In August 2025, Wes became a member of the State Bar of Texas Paralegal Division, marking an important milestone in his legal career with aspirations of becoming a Board Certified Paralegal.
