Phyllis Pate has been Mike Mallia's legal assistant since 2005.  Previously she had worked for many years for other respected law firms.  Phyllis is an integral part of our trial team, and her work has produced many key components of our victories. 

 "The job Phyllis does in combing through thousands of pages of medical records and finding gold nuggets is second to none," says Mike Mallia.  "I just love it when she walks into my office with stacks of records, and says, "Look what I have found'."
        
 Phyllis loves her job and her dedication to our client's causes manifest itself in a strong bond with the clients.  "Many law firms only want legal assistants to perform assigned task, but here at VW&M there is a true spirit of teamwork.  Everyone's opinion is welcomed and heard, and this attitude creates a strong commitment to our clients and their cases," says Phyllis.
