Paralegal Institute Founder Matt Pfau Champions AI Integration in Legal Education and Practice at The Climb Summit Series 2025

At the Climb Summit Series 2025, Matt Pfau, Founder of the Paralegal Institute and Partner at H&P Law, delivered a powerful message about the transformative role of artificial intelligence in legal education and law firm operations. His presentation highlighted how AI is being used not only to enhance efficiency but to elevate the value of legal professionals in a rapidly evolving industry. Pfau, who designed the Paralegal Institute’s curriculum based on real-world hiring needs, emphasized the urgency of adapting legal education to meet the demands of the AI era. “Paralegal education right now is old school,” he said. “All of our competitors teach paralegals to be paper pushers, and those paralegals will be replaced by AI. Our paralegals will not.” At the Paralegal Institute, AI is fully integrated into the curriculum as both a tool and a differentiator. “We tell our students that if you use AI, you will be worth two paralegals,” Pfau stated. “We teach them how to use the tools effectively, ethically, and in compliance with legal standards.” Pfau’s law firm, H&P Law, serves as a live testing ground for emerging AI tools. “My law firm is the test case,” he explained. “We use all the tools, we practice them, and we teach what works. We’re implementing a new one this week that’s going to change the way we practice, but it’s not going to replace our staff. It’s going to make them more efficient.” Unlike many institutions that quietly adopt AI, Pfau is vocal about its use. “We are engaged in press releases, public speaking events, and legal organizations,” he said. “We educate law firms and hiring entities on what AI is and is not capable of doing. It is our differentiator.” Pfau also offered advice to other educators and institutions. “Just start using it,” he advised. “Write a letter with it. It’s going to write a letter better than you could, and I write for a living. You’ll learn what it can do, and what it can’t.” The Climb Summit Series, hosted by Climb Credit, focused on how artificial intelligence is reshaping career education and emphasized the importance of human-centric skills. Keynote speaker Dr. Aviva Legatt highlighted the need for continuous reskilling and adaptability in the AI-driven economy, principles echoed in Pfau’s approach to legal education. The Paralegal Institute continues to lead the way in preparing legal professionals for= a future where AI is a powerful ally but not a replacement for critical human judgment. “AI is great at brainstorming,” Pfau concluded. “But only a critical-thinking human can decide what really matters.” For more information, please refer to the contact details below.

Albany, OR Creditor Harassment Protection: Bankruptcy Attorney Services Expanded

As part of its expanded service, Law Office of Kim Covington provides residents with immediate legal protection from creditor harassment under bankruptcy laws, which halt collection activity once a case is filed. The firm’s approach centers on compassion, legal clarity, and fast action to help clients regain control of their financial lives. More details can be found at https://www.kimcovington-bankruptcylawyer.com/ The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits collectors from using threats, harassment, or intimidation to recover debts. Yet despite these protections, many Oregonians continue to face abusive tactics. Covington’s practice addresses these challenges by combining direct client advocacy with the provisions of bankruptcy law. “Debt collectors can be relentless when people fall behind,” said attorney Kim Covington. “But the law is clear: once a bankruptcy petition is filed, creditors must stop contacting you. My goal is to help clients get that relief quickly and start moving forward.” Kim Covington provides legal support to individuals and families facing constant calls, letters, and lawsuits from creditors. Under federal bankruptcy law, once a petition is filed, an automatic stay takes effect, immediately stopping collection efforts, including phone calls, wage garnishment, and pending foreclosure actions. This legal safeguard, as she notes, gives clients space to regroup and begin building a path toward financial recovery. Her service for protecting clients from creditor harassment covers cases involving home foreclosure, wage garnishment, and vehicle repossession, as well as lawsuits from collection agencies. For clients facing urgent situations, she offers emergency filings that activate court protection as soon as the paperwork is submitted. The Law Office of Kim Covington serves Albany and neighboring communities, including Eugene, Springfield, Corvallis, and Roseburg. Each case begins with a confidential consultation where clients can discuss their financial situation, review available legal options, and determine whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy offers the best path to relief. To make representation accessible, the firm offers flexible payment arrangements — Chapter 7 cases start at $1,200 in attorney fees plus filing costs, while Chapter 13 cases require a $750 down payment. Covington’s team also accommodates payment plans to assist working families under financial strain.

New Frontier Immigration Law Rolls Out National Effort to Assist DACA Professionals with Career-Driven Paths to Permanent Residency

New Frontier Immigration Law announced a nationwide initiative to help recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program secure U.S. permanent residency through employment-based petitions and self-petitions. The effort focuses on highly educated and high-earning DACA professionals, particularly those in science, technology, engineering, medicine, and other high-demand industries. Photo Courtesy of: Katie Levine Approximately 530,000 individuals currently hold DACA status, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). While DACA provides work authorization and protection from deportation, it does not directly lead to a green card. Many recipients have spent years contributing to the U.S. workforce without a clear path to permanent residency. The new campaign highlights two primary routes for DACA recipients: national interest waivers, which allow certain professionals to self-petition for permanent residency based on work that benefits the United States, and employer-sponsored petitions for high-demand positions. These options are particularly relevant to professionals such as registered nurses, physical therapists, physicians in residency, robotics engineers, and entrepreneurs whose work supports key sectors of the U.S. economy. Hillary Walsh, founder and attorney at New Frontier Immigration Law, said the initiative reflects over a decade of observing how DACA recipients have built successful careers while remaining in temporary legal status . “I graduated law school the same year DACA was introduced,” Walsh said. “For more than ten years, I’ve seen talented professionals make significant contributions without the long-term security that permanent residency provides. Our national effort is designed to connect these individuals with the legal pathways that already exist under U.S. law.” Walsh added that the campaign also includes outreach to employers. “Employers often don’t realize that sponsoring a DACA employee for permanent residency can be a straightforward and cost-effective way to retain top talent,” she said. “We are providing resources to help companies understand and navigate the process of filing a permanent labor certification and supporting their employees’ applications.” The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects strong demand for healthcare professionals and engineers through 2030. With more than three-quarters of DACA recipients currently employed, according to the Migration Policy Institute, this initiative aims to address both the professional aspirations of DACA holders and the country’s workforce needs. The campaign will feature educational resources on New Frontier Immigration Law’s website and social media channels, including Walsh’s TikTok platform, where she regularly answers questions from DACA recipients about employment-based green card options. Walsh is also completing a book detailing step-by-step guidance for DACA professionals seeking permanent residency. New Frontier Immigration Law’s national effort comes amid continuing legal uncertainty surrounding DACA. While the program remains in effect for current recipients, ongoing litigation and the absence of permanent legislative solutions have increased the urgency for many to pursue more stable forms of legal status. About New Frontier Immigration Law New Frontier Immigration Law is a full-service immigration law firm headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with additional offices in Los Angeles, California, and over 100 remote team members nation-wide. Founded in 2019 by attorney Hillary Walsh, the firm has assisted more than 4,000 clients in securing immigration relief, including family-based petitions, humanitarian visas, and protection for survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence. Recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of Arizona’s fastest-growing firms for four consecutive years, New Frontier is dedicated to providing innovative solutions for immigrants across the United States.

Together, they will give law firms across the U.S. complete visibility into their client acquisition funnel, helping firms attract the right clients, reduce wasted marketing spend, and maximize return on investment. Photo courtesy of LegalRev Why This Matters for Law Firms While the market includes a range of intake management platforms designed for lawyers , such as Lawmatics, LawRuler, Lexicata, Practice Panther, and Clio Grow, LegalRev has identified HubSpot as the superior solution. Unlike legal-specific CRMs that restrict flexibility and scalability, HubSpot’s advanced marketing and intake tools allow law firms to track, automate, and refine the entire client journey in real time. Through LegalRev’s HubSpot integration, U.S. law firms can achieve the following advantages: Capture every lead - Every phone call, web form, or referral is automatically logged, eliminating any risk of missing a client opportunity. For attorneys juggling court schedules and casework, this means every single inquiry is documented and can be swiftly followed up on, ensuring that marketing investments translate into real prospects rather than lost chances. Automate the intake process - From follow-up emails to consultation scheduling and document signing, LegalRev’s HubSpot integration turns repetitive tasks into a seamless experience. When a potential client reaches out, the system can automatically trigger needed action, from thank-you emails to scheduling follow-up communications, booking consultations through integrated online calendars, or initiating document requests for e-signatures. This ensures fast, professional, and consistent engagement, boosting a firm’s ability to move leads into actual consultations and retain prospective clients throughout the process. Track source data accurately - Every lead is tied back to its origin, specific ads, SEO keywords, or AI-optimized (AIO) queries. This means law firms are no longer guessing which campaigns bring in high-value cases or which channels fail to perform; every dollar spent is measured against actual results. From Data to Growth Having complete visibility into the funnel allows law firms to shift from chasing volume to focusing on quality, a strategy that brings several critical advantages. Target High-Value Clients: Firms can identify which channels and campaigns generate the cases they want, and stop wasting money on leads that don’t convert. Refine SEO & AIO Strategies in Real Time: With immediate insight into where profitable clients come from, LegalRev helps firms continuously optimize organic, paid, and AI-driven strategies to drive the best results. Maximize ROI: Firms can confidently scale marketing investments around what actually works, instead of chasing vanity metrics or overspending on underperforming tactics.

A Better Mousetrap “Most legal CRMs are intake tools with blind spots,” says Darin Fenn, founder and CEO of LegalRev. “HubSpot, paired with our expertise, gives law firms a complete view of their marketing funnel. That means they’re not just getting more leads—they’re getting the right leads. For U.S. law firms competing in an increasingly digital world, that’s a game-changer.” About LegalRev LegalRev is a U.S.-based agency and technology partner that helps law firms grow smarter through AI-powered marketing, advanced intake systems, and data-driven strategies.

Sandy, UT Estate Planning Guidance: Wills & Trusts Consultancy Service Expanded

The service expansion comes as access to online estate planning services is increasing across the state. Curry Andrews Consulting specializes in estate and business planning, maintaining offices in Idaho and Utah, and serves clients across multiple states through partnerships with local attorneys. Interested parties can learn more at https://www.estates-utah.com Recent developments in Utah include a new online will planning service offered through Weber State University. The free service provides a simplified process that makes gifts to the university endowment fund easier. While digital platforms like this offer convenience, they often overlook critical details that can affect estate distribution and asset protection. Curry Andrews advises caution. "We work with celebrities, entrepreneurs, ranchers, farmers, and business owners who need personalized planning," said Mr. Andrews. "Our experience helps clients avoid unnecessary expenses and complications that generic online solutions typically fail to prevent." "Many Utah residents remain unclear about the distinctions between wills and trusts, and their different purposes in estate planning. Individuals who use cookie-cutter forms rather than seeking professional advice risk missing these and other important issues", Andrews says. Professional estate planning addresses individual circumstances that automated systems generally cannot recognize. Attorneys identify potential conflicts between different estate documents, coordinate beneficiary designations across multiple accounts, and structure trusts to protect assets from creditors and even divorce or dissolution proceedings. Families with minor children particularly benefit from professional guidance. Trusts allow assets to remain in one fund for all children's support and education rather than dividing property equally among children of different ages and maturity levels. Guardianship and Conservatorship nominations can also ease future complexity. Curry Andrews Consulting offers a full range of estate planning services, including preparation of Last Will and Testaments, Revocable Living Trusts, and Irrevocable Asset Protection Trusts. His team also handles ancillary documents such as Powers of Attorney, Medical Releases, and Advance Directives, along with probate and trust administration. For business clients, services include drafting organizational documents, forming Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), and preparing corporate formation and governance documents. Mr. Andrews brings experience from his education in New York, Washington D.C., Washington state, Idaho, and Utah. Through partnerships with local attorneys, the firm has the capacity to serve clients nationwide. The practice handles matters for diverse clients, including public figures, business owners, farmers, ranchers, and blended families. For more information, please visit https://www.estates-utah.com

Immigration Attorney Hillary Walsh Launches National Campaign to Help DACA Professionals Secure Green Cards Through Career-Based Petitions

Immigration attorney Hillary Walsh has unveiled a national initiative designed to help recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program convert their professional accomplishments into permanent residency. Her focus is on individuals who have already established themselves in science, technology, engineering, medicine, and high-growth entrepreneurship. Photo Courtesy of: Katie Levine Data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services show that roughly 530,000 people currently hold DACA status, a program introduced in 2012 to protect undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children. While DACA provides work authorization and protection from deportation, it does not offer a direct route to a green card. For many participants, the only long-term options have been family-based petitions or extended reliance on temporary status. Walsh wants to broaden those options. “I graduated law school the same year DACA became a program, and for over a decade I have watched these professionals build careers while remaining locked out of permanent residency,” she said. “It’s time to highlight employment-based and self-petition paths that match the contributions they are already making.” Targeting Professionals Who Have Already Defied the Odds The campaign specifically targets DACA recipients who are already working in advanced or essential fields. This includes registered nurses and physical therapists with employers willing to sponsor them, physicians in residency programs, robotics engineers with graduate-level credentials, and entrepreneurs whose businesses are creating jobs and driving innovation. These professionals often meet the requirements for employment-based green cards through employer sponsorship or national interest waivers. The latter allows individuals to self-petition if their work benefits the United States broadly. According to Department of Labor data, healthcare and technology are projected to be among the fastest-growing sectors through 2030, making these workers vital to the country’s economy and public health. Walsh emphasized that many of these professionals have been contributing to critical industries for years without the security of permanent status. “They are already essential to hospitals, research labs, and technology firms,” she said. “Helping them transition to permanent residency is not only fair but also consistent with U.S. economic interests.” Challenging the Marriage or “Dead-End Job” Dilemma For many DACA recipients, the most common path to a green card has been through marriage to a U.S. citizen or remaining in jobs that offer limited mobility simply to maintain employer support. Walsh aims to break that cycle. She argues that talented professionals should not feel pressured to marry or stay in roles that limit their growth. Her campaign highlights how individuals can either self-petition through national interest waivers or work with employers willing to file permanent labor certifications (known as PERM). “The message is clear: you don’t have to be tied to a job you’ve outgrown or to a relationship you don’t want just to stay in the country,” Walsh said. She adds that employers often underestimate how cost-effective sponsorship can be, and part of the campaign involves educating companies about the process and benefits of supporting DACA employees. Combining Legal Strategy with Public Engagement Walsh’s effort includes a national public education component. She has built a large following on TikTok, where she fields questions about DACA-related green card options and shares case studies from her legal practice. She is also completing a book that details every major route from DACA to permanent residency. Her firm, New Frontier Immigration Law , based in Phoenix and Los Angeles with over 100 remote staff, has already assisted more than 4,000 clients in securing various forms of immigration relief. It was recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of Arizona’s fastest-growing law firms for four consecutive years. This background provides a platform for the campaign, which seeks to reach both individual DACA holders and the employers who can sponsor them. The effort comes at a time of policy uncertainty. Court challenges to DACA continue, and while the program remains in effect for current recipients, the lack of a permanent legislative solution has created anxiety about long-term stability. The Migration Policy Institute notes that more than three-quarters of DACA holders are employed, with many earning degrees and working in professional fields. A Timely Effort for a Changing Workforce Walsh’s initiative arrives as the U.S. economy faces persistent shortages in healthcare and technology sectors. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects more than 275,000 new jobs for registered nurses by 2030 and strong demand for engineers in emerging fields such as robotics and artificial intelligence. By focusing on employment-based and self-petition pathways, the campaign highlights an underused route for DACA recipients who already match these high-demand profiles. It also encourages employers to view sponsorship not as a burden but as a strategic move to retain talent that is already contributing to critical industries. Through this national campaign, Walsh is drawing attention to a group of professionals who have long been part of the U.S. workforce yet remain without a clear path to permanence. Her work underscores the growing recognition that DACA recipients are not just participants in the American economy, they are shaping its future.

Top Probate Attorney Robert Brumfield Issues Warning To Pet Owners On Overlooked Estate Planning Risks – Bakersfield, CA

Leading Probate and Estate Planning Attorney Robert Brumfield has urged pet owners not to overlook the future needs of their family's four-legged friends in their estate plans. For more information please visit https://www.brumfieldlawgroup.com While family pets bring love and contentment to people, particularly those living alone, they often face their own challenges when the only resolution for them is to be placed in a shelter because they were not included in an estate plan. According to the US Census Bureau, 60 million Americans own pets. And they don't hesitate to spend money on their care, with $5.8 billion spent on pets between 2007 and 2017. Brumfield of The Law Offices of Robert H. Brumfield, P.C. said: "Estate planning is often associated with discussions about wealth distribution, retirement accounts, and family legacies. However, for pet owners, neglecting this aspect of planning can introduce unexpected risks that may leave beloved animals in vulnerable positions." He said it was crucial for families to address the unique estate planning concerns that come with pet ownership and an animal's future needs. One significant risk for pet owners is the assumption that their pets will automatically be cared for by heirs if they pass away unexpectedly. "Without proper planning, there is no guarantee a trusted friend or family member will step in, or that the financial resources will be allocated for their ongoing care," Brumfield said. Ambiguous language often found in wills and estate documents can undermine a person’s wishes. But pet owners mistakenly believe a simple mention of a pet in an estate plan will secure its care. "In reality, if the language is unclear, a court may classify the pet as personal property rather than a living companion with emotional value," he said. This distinction can lead to unintended consequences, such as the funds intended for pet care being used for other purposes or the pet being placed in a shelter. Estate planning documents should have precise language that helps avoid pitfalls and clear directives for the pet's future. A plan should explicitly designate a caretaker and, if necessary, establish a pet trust. A pet trust is a legal arrangement that allocates funds for the pet's care, ensuring the chosen guardian has the legal authority and the financial means to maintain the pet's quality of life. The trust is managed by a trustee who disburses funds to the caregiver according to the decedent's instructions. The trust, which can cover expenses such as food, veterinary care, and other necessities, ensures a pet’s care is sustained without imposing a financial burden on the caregiver. However, inadequate communication with potential caregivers presents new risks. Even when a pet trust or clear instructions are included in an estate plan, the lack of direct conversation with the designated guardian can result in confusion or disagreement. Pet owners are encouraged to have in-depth discussions with the individuals they trust to care for their animals. These conversations should cover financial arrangements, the level of care expected, and contingency plans if the primary caregiver is unable to fulfill their role. "Open communication ensures everyone is on the same page, reducing the risk of disputes or misinterpretation of the pet owner's wishes." Brumfield said that failing to update estate planning documents can be detrimental, especially for pet owners whose circumstances change over time. Changes in family dynamics, financial status, or even the health and needs of a pet can impact the effectiveness of an estate plan. He advised that estate plans should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changing times and circumstances. If a pet, for example, develops specific dietary or medical needs, the financial allocations and care instructions in a pet trust may need to be adjusted. Another challenge for pet owners is the potential tax implications and legal fees associated with administering pet trusts. Some states have specific regulations governing pet trusts, and these can vary widely. Failure to comply with local laws may result in additional costs or even the invalidation of the trust. Consulting an estate planning attorney who has experience with pet trusts is a wise investment. The loss of a pet can be as devastating as the loss of a human family member, and disputes over pet care can exacerbate the grieving process. A detailed, legally binding estate plan can be a source of comfort, knowing the pet's future is secure. "Proactive planning secures the financial resources for ongoing pet care and ensures animals are placed in a loving, supportive environment," Brumfield concluded.

Leading Probate & Estate Planning Attorney Jeffrey Jinks Highlights Common Executor Mistakes To Avoid – Indianapolis, IN

Losing a loved one is an emotionally challenging experience, and the executor of an estate often carries the heaviest responsibility during this difficult time. Jeffrey Jinks, Founder of Jeff Jinks Law in Indianapolis, emphasizes the importance of careful planning and attention to detail for those entrusted with managing and distributing an estate. For more information, please visit https://jeffjinkslaw.com/ Executors wield significant authority over an estate, but they also face complex legal, financial, and tax obligations. According to Jinks, one of the most frequent mistakes is failing to properly secure and manage assets. Executors are advised to quickly identify, safeguard, and maintain all estate assets, from financial accounts to physical property. Proper categorization is also essential, particularly for non-probate assets such as trusts, life insurance policies, and retirement accounts. Jinks notes that obtaining a Date of Death valuation for all assets is another step that is often overlooked. Early valuation simplifies the process and ensures accuracy, particularly for real estate, where the expertise of a qualified appraiser can be critical. Effective communication with beneficiaries and creditors is equally important. Known creditors must be notified about the pending estate administration, and the estate must remain open for the statutory period to allow claims to be filed. “Keeping beneficiaries informed of progress can prevent misunderstandings and potential disputes, reducing the risk of litigation”, Jinks explained. Engaging a probate attorney can greatly assist executors in navigating these responsibilities. Failing to retain professional guidance can result in costly mistakes, extended timelines, and errors in handling creditor claims, estate taxes, asset distribution, or required inventories and accountings. In some cases, alternative approaches, such as a small estate affidavit in Indiana, may offer a more efficient and cost-effective solution than formal probate. “Serving as an executor is a significant responsibility,” Jinks said. “Working with an experienced probate attorney can help avoid unintentional errors, protect the estate’s value, and ease the process during an already emotional time for family members.” Source: http://RecommendedExperts.biz
