Michele O'Neill

Paralegal

 

Michele plays an integral role of the firm's trial teams, supporting attorneys with legal research, legal writing, preparation of exhibits and day-to-day case management at all phases of complex civil and commercial litigation. At Reilly Pozner, all paralegals are proficient in the use of CT Summation (for litigation support and eDiscovery) and Sanction Legal Presentation software.

Michele holds an Associate's degree in paralegal studies from Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She also earned a Bachelor's degree in political science from the Metropolitan State College of Denver. Prior to joining Reilly Pozner, she was a senior paralegal at Powers Phillips, P.C. and Jones & Keller, P.C.

Michele has worked on these cases:

 

  • When The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company noticed that its financial advisers (and their contact databases) were being aggressively recruited by the competition in what looked like coordinated campaigns, VALIC retained Reilly Pozner as national counsel to protect its trade secrets and enforce its non-competition agreements in courts around the country. Thanks to the firm's skillful use of temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, VALIC has seen a significant decrease in unfair competition by its former employees and a significant decrease in competitor recruitment.
