Liz Villagran
Legal Assistant
While she grew up in the Chicagoland area, Liz graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University. After graduation, she found a position at a law firm in the city. When James Gay Law was looking for new hires, she was happy to find she could help the firm continue to grow.
Her day-to-day tasks vary, as do the cases she assists with, but Liz’s organizational nature helps with maintaining files and schedules. Liz finds the complicated cases the most rewarding. She learns something new with every worker’s comp case and appreciates the straightforward nature of motor vehicle collision cases. She helps Spanish-speaking clients communicate with the rest of the staff.
Liz enjoys knowing that clients are taken care of at James Gay Law and has even referred people she knows to the law firm. She enjoys the work environment and her coworkers. In her spare time, Liz enjoys creating mixed media art and staying active by playing sports like rugby and softball.
