on-site software training and computer classes in major cities throughout California for lawyers,
paralegals, legal secretaries, word processors, accountants, and other professionals. We have
been offering these services for more than 15 years.
We specialize in MS Word® and WordPerfect®, but also offer training in a wide
variety of other programs widely used in law firms and government agencies, as well as computer
literacy for legal professionals (and for older adults). Our trainers all have
more than 20 years' experience as legal word processors and/or legal secretaries and, as a result,
have special expertise in
formatting legal documents. All of our trainers are patient, knowledgeable, and flexible.
Whether we train your staff at your office or in a classroom, we customize the training to
meet
your particular needs. As part of the training package, each student receives numerous handouts
that provide easy step-by-step instructions.
We also provide legal word processing services on a temporary basis (long-term or
short-term assignments). Our temps. are fluent in both Word and WordPerfect, as well as Excel
and PowerPoint (plus the advanced features of Adobe Acrobat), and also have vast
experience with transcription. They are known for both their fast turnaround (with typing speeds
of 85 wpm and better) and their conscientious, high-quality work. Their dependability, "can-do"
attitude, and commitment
to customer service set them apart.
Jan Berinstein, the principal of CompuSavvy, has a B.A. in political science from UCLA
