Kathryn Bell – Legal Assistant

Kate joined the Dixon Law Office team in 2015.  Over those years she has held many roles in the firm.  Presently, Kate is the primary legal assistant responsible for all “in-suit” cases; cases in which a law suit has been filed.  This is a specialized job that requires extensive practical knowledge of the legal system.  Kate excels at case management, helping to move cases from filing to payout.  In the high-stress world of personal injury litigation, Kate’s “take charge” attitude and confidence helps the team effectively and efficiently represent clients.

Nayrin Banuelos – Legal Assistant

Nayrin joined the Dixon Law Office team in 2021.  She is presently a student at Elmhurst University.  Nayrin handles two different areas at the firm.  She is primarily responsible for the worker’s compensation cases.  A legal assistant’s work handling the worker’s compensation case load is a never-ending job.  It demands in depth knowledge of worker’s compensation cases but, equally important, knowledge of the Illinois Worker’s Compensation Commission.  The IWCC is both modern and archaic and so getting work done can be difficult.

Additionally, Nayrin is responsible for managing all cases before a law suit is filed.  From case sign up to settlement (unless a law suit is filed), Nayrin works every day with clients in a wide variety of situations.

Nayrin graduated with an Associates of Arts (AA) degree in both English and Spanish from Moorpark College in 2021.

Nayrin is also bilingual, speaking English and Spanish.
