Meet Emily Jones, a Legal Assistant at Simon Fitzgerald LLC in the Shreveport office. Emily
helps clients and attorneys stay organized throughout the bankruptcy process by answering
questions, scheduling appointments, gathering important documents, processing payments, and
assisting with case preparation.
Emily understands that contacting a bankruptcy law firm can feel overwhelming, especially
when someone is already experiencing financial stress. Her goal is to help every client feel
welcomed, respected, and supported while making the process as straightforward as possible.
On a typical day, Emily communicates with clients by phone, helps answer procedural questions,
collects necessary paperwork, schedules appointments, and assists with preparing bankruptcy
cases for filing. She also helps organize client information so the firm’s attorneys and staff have
the documents needed to move cases forward.
One of Emily’s greatest strengths is her ability to communicate with people in a friendly, patient,
and understanding way. She knows that clients often have questions about what documents they
need, what happens next, or whom they should contact for assistance.
Emily takes pride in helping clients find answers and making sure their concerns are heard.
She also understands that much of the work involved in a bankruptcy case happens behind the
scenes. From gathering documents to coordinating appointments and organizing information,
Emily helps manage the important details that support the firm’s legal team.
Emily became interested in working in the legal field because she wanted a career that would
allow her to continue learning while helping others. When the opportunity to join Simon
Fitzgerald LLC arose, she welcomed the chance to gain experience in a new field and contribute
to work that makes a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
Before joining the firm, Emily gained experience in customer-facing positions, where she
developed valuable skills in communication, organization, patience, and customer service. Those
skills now help her assist clients who may be dealing with difficult or unfamiliar financial
circumstances.
For Emily, one of the most rewarding parts of working at Simon Fitzgerald LLC is helping
people feel less overwhelmed. She believes financial difficulties can happen to anyone and that
no one should feel embarrassed or ashamed about asking for help.
Emily wants prospective clients to know that they do not need to have everything figured out
before contacting the firm. The attorneys and staff are available to help explain the bankruptcy
process, answer questions, and assist clients in understanding their available options.
When clients speak with Emily, they can expect kindness, patience, and a willingness to listen.
She strives to explain administrative steps clearly, help clients understand what information is
needed, and connect them with the appropriate team member when questions require additional
assistance.
Emily hopes every client leaves a conversation feeling heard, respected, and more
comfortable with the next steps ahead.
Emily believes Simon Fitzgerald LLC stands apart because of its commitment to helping people
through difficult financial situations with compassion and understanding. She appreciates
working with a team that values clear communication, personal attention, and respectful
treatment.
She is proud to contribute to the legacy of Louisiana’s oldest bankruptcy law firm, where
helping individuals and families navigate financial challenges has been an important part of the
firm’s work for generations.
Emily is currently pursuing a degree in General Business at Louisiana State University
Shreveport (LSUS). She enjoys continuing her education and developing skills that will help
her grow personally and professionally.
Outside of work, Emily enjoys spending time with her fiancé, family, and friends. She also
enjoys shopping, working out, relaxing at home, and exploring her interest in interior decorating.
One of Emily’s favorite hobbies is finding creative ways to decorate her home. She enjoys
combining different colors, patterns, and styles to make spaces feel personal, comfortable, and
welcoming.
Emily and her fiancé have a cat named Oliver, affectionately known as Ollie.
She is also an LSU Tigers fan and enjoys visiting local restaurants, including Flying Heart and
Texas Roadhouse. Some of her favorite stories include The Great Gatsby and The Notebook.
As a Louisiana resident, Emily appreciates the state’s food, Southern hospitality, and strong sense
of community. She enjoys the way people in Louisiana make others feel welcome, something she
also strives to bring to her work at Simon Fitzgerald LLC.
At Simon Fitzgerald LLC, Emily is proud to be part of a team that treats clients with compassion
and respect. Whether she is helping organize documents, answering questions, or simply taking
time to listen, her goal is to make each client’s experience a little easier during a challenging
time.
