KRISTIE SMITH-LEWIS

Founder and CEO

As a young girl growing up in Mississippi, Kristie Lewis was no stranger to the struggles that many people face when navigating the legal system. Being raised in a lower-income household, she witnessed firsthand the challenges and complexities that can arise when trying to access justice. These experiences sparked in her a strong desire to understand the law and help others who may face similar roadblocks.
After completing her education in paralegal studies and criminal justice, Kristie embarked on her career as a litigation paralegal. She initially started working in small office settings, but her passion for learning and growing pushed her to seek opportunities at larger corporate firms. Through hard work and determination, she quickly made a name for herself in the legal community, gaining recognition for her impressive skills and knowledge.
With over 19 years of experience working with prominent attorneys in Mississippi, Kristie has become a well-respected figure in the legal field. Her diverse background and extensive knowledge in various areas of law, including personal injury, criminal defense, collections, workers' compensation, pharmaceutical mass tort litigation, civil defense, bankruptcy, real estate law, and family law, have been instrumental in her success.
Throughout her career, Kristie has demonstrated a commitment to excellence and continuous learning. She believes in staying updated with the latest developments in the legal arena and is constantly honing her skills to provide the best support to her clients and their cases. Her dedication and hard work have earned her the trust and respect of not just her colleagues and clients, but also judges and other legal professionals.
While Kristie's impressive achievements in her career are worthy of admiration, it is her desire to use her skills to make a positive impact on her community that truly sets her apart. Realizing the challenges that new attorneys face in managing their busy caseloads while also trying to run their offices efficiently, Kristie saw an opportunity to help by offering virtual support services. For the past ten years, she has been providing this service through her company, Legal Helpers of Mississippi.
Through this venture, Kristie offers her support and expertise to attorneys in various practice areas. By taking on overflow work, conducting legal research, and drafting legal documents, she allows them to focus on representing their clients effectively.

Kristie's dedication to her work and her community has made her a highly respected and trusted paralegal in her state. She is known for her attention to detail, strong work ethic, and unwavering commitment to her clients. With her impressive skills and passion for helping others, Kristie Lewis is more than just your average litigation paralegal.
