About Erin Applegarth
I’m a driven paralegal student with a lifelong passion for justice and advocacy—one that started at age 7 and continues to guide my career today.After more than two decades in the hospitality industry, where I led teams, managed fast-paced environments, and developed strong people skills, I made the bold decision to pursue my long-held dream of entering the legal field.Currently, I’m interning with the County Prosecutor’s Office, where I support attorneys with legal research, case prep, courtroom observation, and administrative tasks. I’ve had the opportunity to work on real cases—from trial prep for second-degree murder to First Amendment motions—while maintaining a 4.0 GPA in all my legal studies coursework.I bring to the table:Real-world experience under pressureStrong research and writing skills (Westlaw proficient)A deep respect for accuracy, confidentiality, and the rule of lawA passion for public service and a desire to one day advocate as a trial attorneyWhether in the courtroom or behind the scenes, I strive to make a meaningful impact. Let’s connect—especially if you’ve taken a nontraditional path into law or work in litigation, criminal law, or constitutional advocacy.
