F&P Spotlight on Paralegal Christine Mueller

What is your practice area and how did you choose it?
I am a litigation paralegal in insurance defense concentrating mostly on Commercial Transportation or premise liability cases.

What’s your favorite thing about working with your clients?
I like that I have established a trusting relationship with our clients. If at any time the attorney is unavailable, our clients will contact me to discuss a case or relay information. It shows how important my job as a paralegal truly is.

What is your favorite aspect of working at F&P?
Overall, I love the people I work with. Our liability team works extremely well together and are always more than willing to help each other out.

Favorite Restaurant:
Chiapparelli’s  — I could eat their salad for days

Favorite Show:
Friends (all time): This Is Us (Current)

Favorite Event in Baltimore: 
Generally, I love live music. Baltimore has such a huge local music scene.  But if I had to pick just one particular event, it would be opening day for baseball. I love how alive our city becomes.

What’s your proudest accomplishment?
Honestly, I believe the fact that I have been at the same job now for almost 16 years is a huge accomplishment. In our current times, not a lot of people can say that. Most people do not stay in one position for very long. I have established a good relationship with our clients and they know I am someone they can rely on.

Tell us something about you that few of your colleagues and clients would know.
This is more of a fun fact but I traveled a lot growing up and was able to go hang gliding off a cliff in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil when I was in High school

What do you like to do outside the office?
When I am not working I like to spend time with friends and family especially my 8-year-old twins, run a girl scout troop, see live music shows and go to baseball/football games.

Have you read any good books or seen any good movies this year that you would recommend?
The Way Back; Queen’s Gambit (mini-series)

What is your favorite food?
Mexican is my absolute favorite but Italian and India aren’t too far behind

What is your all-time favorite city or town and why?
I don’t have a favorite but I have the best memories in Las Vegas and New York City. I was able to celebrate my 21^st birthday in Las Vegas with family and friends. I’ve been so many times and even witnessed my best friends get married there on more than one occasion. I love the atmosphere of NYC and the hustle and bustle and that there is always something to do.

What was the best news you ever received?
When I found out I was having twins. There is nothing like it.

What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
Anyone that knows me knows I don’t eat weird hahaha I barely eat normally

If you could have lunch with anyone in the world who would it be?
Drew Barrymore has been my all-time favorite person since I was a teenager.  I would love to have lunch with her.

Do you have any bizarre talents?
Not that I can think of
