Ludmilla Summers

'm a paralegal at the Pima County Attorney's Office with over four years of prosecution-side experience managing disclosure packages, drafting and filing pleadings, and reviewing evidence across active criminal caseloads. I prepare initial and supplemental disclosures — including forensic reports, expert reports, and body-worn camera footage — and have drafted more than 1,200 diversion contracts per year for our Substance Abuse specialty court. Before joining PCAO, I spent a decade as a Senior Surveillance Officer with Pima County Adult Probation, managing intensive caseloads and supporting apprehension and revocation proceedings, and worked as a case aide in child welfare, supervising parent-child visits under DCS guidelines and documenting behavioral observations.

I hold a Master of Science in Forensic Psychology from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Administration from University of Phoenix. I'm currently completing a Post-Degree Paralegal Studies Certificate at Pima Community College. My forensic psychology background shapes the way I approach case analysis, behavioral documentation, and the human dynamics behind every file — skills that translate directly to criminal defense discovery review, family law case management, and client-facing trust-building in any practice area.

I'm looking for a paralegal role in the Tucson area, or remote in Arizona, where I can bring this combination of courtroom experience, case management discipline, and behavioral science training to a firm that values thoroughness, confidentiality, and attention to detail. I'm especially drawn to criminal defense, family law, and estate planning practices where my prosecution-side perspective and decade of community supervision experience add immediate value.
