Amy’s employment at Scali Rasmussen brought her back to Los Angeles, the city where she was born and raised. The chance to return to her hometown was appealing, Amy says, but what really intrigued her about work at the firm was the way everyone seemed to immediately treat her like an old friend.

“I’m a very family-oriented person, and that’s a trait a lot of people here seemed to share,” Amy says. “Everyone I met made it seem like a really friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere.”

Having joined the firm in April 2022, Amy currently serves as legal secretary to four attorneys, including co-founder Bert Rasmussen. She says her work with these attorneys is easily the most rewarding aspect of her job, sharpening her administrative skills and allowing her to interact with interesting people she’d otherwise never meet.

“My day-to-day consists of scheduling hearings, meetings, and court depositions for the attorneys I assist, and helping my coworkers with any questions related to filings or courtroom rules. Teamwork makes the dream work,” says Amy.

When she’s not in school or at the firm, Amy says she typically spends time around the city with her husband Peter, their three kids, and their Frenchies Zoey and Blue. She currently attends classes for a real estate license.
