Dear :

I am currently seeking a challenging assignment where I can utilize my professional training and expertise as an Attorney, or in a non-Attorney role where my excellent capabilities and experience in performing in-depth research as well as reviewing, assessing and authoring crucial legal documents and contracts, would be highly beneficial and address multiple organizational needs. To that end, I am submitting my resume for your review and, in advance, I thank you for your time and consideration.

As demonstrated in the accompanying resume, my professional qualifications include a Juris Doctor awarded by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as membership in the North Carolina Bar. Additionally, I have earned a Master of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Cincinnati, and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. In 2012, I was successful in authoring and having published The Advent of Social Networking: Addressing the Model Rules on Attorney Advertising and Solicitation.

In my current assignment, as an Associate Attorney for Merritt, Webb, Wilson & Caruso in Durham, North Carolina, I am tasked with providing crucial legal advisement and counsel for multiple clientele. Areas of concern involve family, criminal, estate, housing, bankruptcy, real estate and business law, among other sectors. In support of these activities I regularly author needed correspondence, diligently review contracts and all related documents and continually perform crucial, extensive research.

Prior to this assignment I served in of counsel roles for R.W. Bobholz Law in Durham, where I litigated various issues in civil court, negotiated settlements and conducted crucial legal research, and for the Charles Hall Law Firm in Raleigh, where my assignments focused on representing clients concerning Social Security Disability and Medicaid issues.

Earlier, I was a Security Forces Flight Commander and a Navigator with the United States Air Force, providing leadership and oversight for crews and other personnel in assuring Base and facility security at multiple U.S. Air Force Bases.

Throughout my career I have exhibited a commitment to quality and consistent compliance with critical governing directives, standards, policies and procedures. I am confident in my ability to deliver immediate and long-term results, and you will find me to be a performance-driven leader and collaborative team player focused on achieving and surpassing goals.

I am eager to discuss how my qualifications match your needs, and look forward to interviewing with you at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

Richard C. Klein, J.D.
