About Joseph Pratchenko

I\'m a hard-working and highly motivated professional with years of experience in the legal, billing, accounting, and collections fields, working in fast-paced environments like Jones Day, Premium Retail Services, Canon Solutions America, and multiple clinics at the Small Business Law Center where it\'s demanded that employees possess strong organizational, technical, and interpersonal skills. I consider myself to be a team player and I set high expectations in my professional and personal life in order to meet and exceed any expected goals. Subsequently, I take pride in sustaining relationships with clients, managers, supervisors and fellow peers, because possessing excellent communication skills allows me to serve as a main point of contact and interacting as an liaison between individuals of all levels. Being highly organized and also extremely flexible has given me the opportunity to capitalize on any given task or employment at hand.Although I am no longer pursuing a career as an attorney, I\'ve recently discovered an opportunity where I can utilize my law degree and legal skills in conjunction with the skills that have given me success in previous places of employment. That opportunity is being a billing and collections specialist for law firms, and in it I have become inspired and invigorated that this career path will be much more rewarding for myself - as well as both parties involved: the employer and their clients. Every day, I put at least a 110% effort into my work, because there should always be room for error, which is usually 10%, and thus, it\'ll leave the probability of 100% worth of effort met on my part.
