Kathleen Moscinski

Neil Dymott

Kathleen Moscinski was born and raised in San Diego County. She started her legal secretary career back in 1974 and has worked in the field since that time.

For the past 25 years she has been employed by the Neil Dymott law firm. For the last 19 years, she has been the personal secretary to the firm's senior partner, Michael I. Neil.

During her tenure as a legal secretary in San Diego County, she has seen many changes in the technology used in the field. She remembers using carbon paper to make service copies of discovery. She remembers the first time she sent a fax and the classes the firm held on e-mailing and computer networking. Although the technology has advanced, the interest she finds in the cases themselves hasn't changed. Working primarily on medical malpractice cases continues to interest her.

While working with Neil throughout the years, Moscinski has assisted in his positions with numerous organizations, and she has been presented with the opportunity to grow in different areas including planning and preparing a conference for more than 900 members and families of The Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel held here in San Diego.

Moscinski has a son, Luke, who is 29. She enjoys traveling, reading and spending time with special friends and family.
