Jenna Schreiber is always willing to lend a hand to her colleagues.

Schreiber, a legal assistant at Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs, has worked at the firm for about 10 months. She said her favorite part of the job is “working with great, knowledgeable people that are always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.”

“I also appreciate getting to be behind the scenes and learn about what really goes into winning a successful case.”

Schreiber began working at Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs just as the pandemic hit.

“My first position was in intake and when so many other businesses we’re laying off and furloughing employees, our firm was running in full function,” she said.

“Our call volume increased immensely, and it was difficult for me to hear the stories of so many people around me affected. Thankfully our firm handles many claims in different areas, making us able to help some of those affected.”

Trisha Ives, firm administrator at Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs, said that Schreiber works countless hours to make sure the firm runs smoothly.

“That alone defines a superhero in my eyes,” she said.

Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs has offices in Eau Claire, Madison, Milwaukee and Waukesha. The company specializes in cases involving personal injuries, civil rights, employment, medical malpractice, family law and mediation and arbitration.

Before joining the firm, Schreiber hadn’t worked in the legal profession, so there was quite a bit to learn.

“Pretty much any legal term was hieroglyphics to me,” she said. “Luckily I work for a great team that is always willing to lend a helping hand.”

Ives lauded Schreiber’s dedication, saying that “there aren’t enough words in the world to thank Trisha for the amazing job that she does.”
