We blend years of experience, meticulous attention to detail, and a calm, approachable attitude to keep your workflow smooth and your clients happy.

Raquel Brizzi

Founder & Senior Paralegal

Raquel understands the realities of running a modern law firm. Before founding CORE Paralegals, she spent several years as the first and only paralegal at a busy mid-sized firm, where she built and led the paralegal department. Her role required expertise across both Real Estate and Corporate law, shaping her strength in systems, training, and comprehensive legal support.

Known for being proactive, detail-oriented, and resourceful, Raquel thrives on solving problems and improving processes. Starting her own firm deepened her connection to the legal industry and her commitment to supporting others in real-world legal matters.
