Here is what some of Barbara’s colleagues have to say about her on logo_linkedin_88x22.

 

“Barbara has a reputation as a top paralegal in Kern County. Even if you’ve never worked with her, you have heard of her excellent work. While I was President of the Kern County Paralegal Association, Barbara volunteered to be its Public Information Officer. Barbara’s energy and enthusiasm made the public aware of the existence of KCPA and the importance of paralegals in the legal field. She has been a valuable member of the board of directors, and a good friend.” April 4, 2011

“Our company, High Impact, provides litigation support to Chain / Cohn / Stiles. I have had the pleasure of working with Barbara for six years.  At Chain / Cohn / Stiles, she has been entrusted with a great deal of responsibility. I have had the opportunity to observe Barbara's professional skills as well as her interpersonal style. She is consistently pleasant and works with enthusiasm and dedication.  Regardless of deadlines or other pressure, Barbara always delivers.” November 27, 2010

"Barbara possesses the rare skill of understanding the importance of both an attention to detail and procedure, as well as allocation of limited resources.  She is adept at applying those skills in a manner that near perfectly complements an attorney in preparing a case.  She has become the standard by which I have attempted to measure all legal assistants with whom I have worked since."  August 27, 2010

Steven Nuñez, Attorney, Ward & Hagen LLP

“Being a Certified Shorthand Reporter for 32 1/2 years, I have worked with many paralegals, but Barbara Haubrich, ACP/CAS, has truly amazed me with her ability to work under extreme pressure and unrelenting dedication to getting the job done no matter what it takes. She has an outstanding work ethic and exceptional organizational skills. More than once I have delivered depositions to Barbara's home on a Saturday or Sunday only to find her busily working on a case during trial in her home office. Barbara is a true professional and goes above and beyond what is expected of her. She is truly an indispensible asset to the law firm of Chain/Cohn/Stiles.” July 16, 2010

Tina Kolosky, Owner, Tina M. Kolosky Certified Shorthand Reporting

“When I first started my Paralegal career in Bakersfield in 1999, Barbara Haubrich was my first teacher/mentor and continued in this role throughout my career. Barbara has the patience of a Saint and has more knowledge than a lot of the attorneys I worked with. She is thorough, conscientious and always willing to answer any questions - and share her knowledge. If anyone wants to see an example of the epitome of a Paralegal/Legal Assistant, they need look no further than Barbara Haubrich.” June 11, 2010

“Barbara was known as the litigation goddess. She handled all aspects of the civil litigation personal injury action claim for larger cases and monitored all personal injury cases for the managing partner of the firm. She knows her litigation and can whip up discovery questions like no other. If you are going to trial, Barbara is the one you will want working with you.” May 24, 2010

Nancy Lopes , Legal Assistant, Young Wooldridge, LLP

“Through her employer, Barbara has retained the services of our firm several times over the last 20 years. During that time, she has always operated in the most professional way. She knows what the economist needs to get the job done, and responsibly facilitates the delivery and communication of the relevant information and documentation. Even more important, Barbara's personality and kindness make her an absolute delight to work with on each and every case.”  May 18, 2010

“What do I not say about Barbara? Barbara is top notch in her field. Many legal assistants and attorneys seek her guidance and expertise from every aspect of personal injury litigation and trial. Additionally, Barbara has extensive experience in recruiting, hiring and managing a litigation department for a very busy, demanding trial lawyer. Barbara is looked to by not only those within the firm she is employed, but also by those of us in other legal arenas and in other law firms. She has the highest credentials a legal assistant in California can have and shares her specialized education, training and experience to mentor fellow colleagues.” March 17, 2010

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Barbara for a little over a decade now and have found her to be a great representative of the Paralegal profession…of showing what the Paralegal CAN become. She is both determined and resourceful, and has a keen ability to analyze potential issues and potential problems in a case…an ability that is vital for success. In addition to her work ethics, I admire her for her dedication to the Paralegal “cause” and for her encouragement to others who have chosen this as their profession.” February 24, 2010

Brook Hayes, Owner, Discovery Is Continuing

“As a paralegal, Barbara is more than exemplary: she is indispensable. The consistency and excellence of her work is unmatchable. I worked with Barbara when I was a young attorney, very new to legal practice. During those first few years I enjoyed many successes and accomplishments. None of my achievements would have been possible without Barbara's team work and support. In addition to her exceptional professional abilities, Barbara is a delightful, good humored person with whom it is a joy to work.” February 24, 2010

Jesse Clifford Adams, Attorney

“Congratulations Barbara on a recent victory on a complex motion!  Barbara's keen ability to recognize critical legal issues, damage issues and different theories of liability are essential to her employer and clients. Barbara works with dedication, enthusiasm and commitment on all her cases. Barbara's knowledge of the law, sophistication, professionalism and intelligence allow her to work on an advanced level that far exceeds what many are capable of. Barbara is warm, gracious, good humored and compassionate. She has created a personable, caring and friendly atmosphere at work as a direct result of her positive influence on others. Barbara, you are the best!” February 24, 2010

Hana Tarin, Certified Legal Assistant, Chain | Cohn | Stiles

“Barbara is the quintessential paralegal. During my 35 years of practice, I have had an opportunity to work with many fine paralegals in our office and in other law firms. No other paralegal has been able to match her keen ability to recognize critical legal issues and then formulate a "game plan" for how that issue should be handled. In reviewing cases, many times Barbara has recognized damage issues and additional theories of liability. She excels in keeping track of details while never losing sight of the big picture. She unfailingly applies her exceptional skills to the work at hand with dedication and commitment. I would not want to practice law without her managing the ship.” February 24, 2010

David Cohn, Managing Senior Partner, Chain | Cohn | Stiles

“Barbara is not only one of the best legal assistants in Kern County, she is an outstanding supervisor. She has faith in her staff and let's her staff do their respective duties. Barbara is very approachable if you have any questions and she always knows the answers! I'm privileged to be working for her.” December 7, 2009
