Katherine Chevalier

Calhoun Law Firm – San Antonio, TX

I applied after finding the job listing on CORE. I wanted to make myself stand out, so I researched what cases this firm has handled in the past and used that information during the interview to show my interest in the firm’s work. Taking this extra step allowed me to be more confident during my interview.

How do you think this experience has helped you in your career path? 

When I started law school, I was convinced that I could only be successful as a transactional attorney. However, working at Calhoun Law Firm has given me some litigation experience and I am excited to know that I could also be successful in litigation if I decide to go that route after law school. 

What is the most valuable thing you’ve learned at this job? 

How to write demand letters and petitions. I’ve learned how to take what the client has given me and be creative in forming arguments to fit the cause of action.
