Emily Oketch is a Certified Legal Virtual Assistant specializing in family law case management, supporting solo attorneys and small firms who need organized, responsive, and deadline-safe back-end support so they can focus on representing their clients.

She works with family law attorneys on the full range of administrative and legal support. This includes drafting pleadings, motions, parenting plans, financial disclosure affidavits, settlements, and court correspondence. She manages and organizes case files, handles client intake and communication, tracks deadlines and court filings, and maintains structured workflows across platforms like Clio and MyCase. Her approach is not task-completion for its own sake, it is about keeping legal processes moving efficiently and being the kind of support attorneys can rely on without having to follow up.

Before transitioning into virtual legal support, Emily served as a Legal Intake Specialist at HIAS, where she worked at the frontline of client interaction within a legal and humanitarian context. That role shaped her understanding of how sensitive cases are received, screened, and processed and how much accuracy, empathy, and discretion matter from the very first point of contact. She managed over 1,200 client intake cases, maintained confidentiality across 1,000+ sensitive case files, and drafted 600+ legal documents for attorney review, experience that now directly informs how she supports family law practices.

Emily brings that real-world legal background together with certified training from The LegalVA Hub to offer family law practitioners professional, dependable, and legally informed virtual support.
