Upon returning to the states, her natural choice was to pursue a career in law. “I absolutely understood nothing at the time, but I very keenly remember the benches, the yellow pads of note paper, and the courthouse in Milwaukee,” said Molitika. “I grew up working at the law office anytime I could” Molitika is a paralegal with Milwaukee’s La Fleur Law Office, where her perceptiveness and positive attitude are defining traits, according to Catherine La Fleur. “She never loses her cool and is kind to everyone: courts, counsel, clients, staff, opposing parties’ counsel and staff. She is perceptive and can figure out what needs to be done without being told.,” La Fleur said. “She makes coming to work fun.” Known for fostering a positive atmosphere in the workplace, Molitika operates by prioritizing understanding and collaboration. She believes that rather than focusing on what’s wrong, it’s essential to recognize and align tasks with each team member’s strengths. Molitika’s meticulous observation and analysis skills create a workflow that prioritizes positive problem-solving in every aspect of her role. “My ability to pull the important information out of the minutia is what contributes to making a difference in a case,” Molitika said. “I would also say my ability to create an Excel spreadsheet in my sleep also contributes to organizing the office environment.” In addition to office efficiency, she acts as a mentor to less experienced paralegals, emphasizing hands-on learning. Molitika focuses on identifying their strengths while guiding them through the complexities of law with practical examples and active involvement in real cases. Her belief in learning by doing echoes her own experience in the legal field. One guiding principle she cherishes is her grandfather’s advice to listen more than she speaks. Molitika remains committed to listening and learning, continuously broadening her love for family law and its impact on the firm’s clients. https://youtu.be/j_Ki-kJSayk </p></div> </a> </div> <div class="content-box"> <a href="https://wislawjournal.com/2024/11/21/legal-all-star-kristen-hook-godfrey-kahn/"> <div class="featured-image"><img width="304" height="175" src="https://wislawjournal.com/files/2024/11/Kristen-Hook-Godfrey-Kahn-304x175.jpg" class="attachment-article-list-thumb size-article-list-thumb wp-post-image" alt="Legal All-Star - Kristen Hook – Godfrey & Kahn" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /></div> <div class="title"><h2 class="rc-img-title">Legal All-Star – Kristen Hook – Godfrey & Kahn</h2></div> <div class="desc"><p class="news-description"> One of Kristen Hook’s greatest skills is her attention to detail. “I really enjoy working with numbers and spreadsheets, as well as compiling reports and analyzing data,” said Hook. It’s a skill that serves her well in her job as payroll manager at Godfrey & Kahn. Her work is largely behind the scenes, but her impact on the firm and the financial health of its employees is far reaching. Every year, Hook is tasked with the annual pension benefits calculation, a complicated process that requires double- and triple-checking to ensure eligible employees receive the proper annual contribution each March. She has taken ownership of the process and coordinates annually with all necessary parties. “Kristen faced an unusual project this year when she needed to implement payroll for a new subsidiary entity,” said Yelena Goloborodko, accounting manager at Godfrey & Kahn. “Thanks to her years of experience, Kristen was able to transition the existing payroll from Quickbooks Online to a third-party payroll provider. “She handled the setup for the new entity entirely on her own. It is a sign of an expert payroll manager when the affected employees don’t notice a single disruption to their paycheck during a major system overhaul.” One of the biggest challenges in her work is staying up to date with the constantly changing laws and regulations related to payroll, taxes and retirement plans. “Additionally, managing tight timelines and deadlines can be demanding, especially during peak periods,” Hook said. “Balancing the need for accuracy with the pressure to meet these deadlines requires careful planning and organization. But these are all challenges that I really enjoy taking on.” Outside of work, Hook is a single mother to two boys, which keeps her busy. “I love spending quality time with my boys, whether we’re playing sports, exploring the outdoors, building Legos, playing video games or just hanging out at home with our four cats,” she said. https://youtu.be/F2o9SjsZO3g </p></div> </a> </div> <div
