Background
Joseph's first job in the legal industry came from Jehan
El-Jourbagy, a professor and practicing attorney in the Department of
Accounting & Business Law. Joseph worked as El-Jourbagy's assistant
for a year, which gave him a strong introduction to the legal field and
invaluable mentorship.
Two months later after Joseph obtained his MMIS degree, he joined Aderant, a
legal software company, where he was able to dive deeper into the legal
industry, learn the terminology, and build technical skills. While at Aderant,
Joseph met two of his current managers at Meriwether & Tharp, who later invited
Joseph to join their team. They introduced Joseph to the Family Law side of the
industry, where he now builds data models and assists with general IT tasks
around the firm.
Outside of work,
Joseph is a big sports fan—Go Yankees, Go Giants, and Go Dawgs!
