Summer Intern Positions
Our Firm has a long history of inviting summer interns who are interested in pursuing a career in the law to join us during the summer months. Although limited in number, our summer intern positions offer aspiring lawyers a “behind the scenes” look at how a law firm runs and what trial lawyers do on a day-to-day basis. Given the fast-paced nature of our Firm, our summer intern opportunities are available only for students who are currently enrolled in an accredited Law School or who are about to start their first year in Law School. If you are interested in a summer internship opportunity, please send your resume and a cover letter explaining why you are interested in our summer intern program and why you are interested in working in one of our offices upon graduating from Law School.
Staff and Summer Intern Testimonials
Here are a few testimonials from members of our current staff and from aspiring lawyers who have been a part of our summer intern program:
Crystal Lehr (paralegal – 30 years): I began working at Fanelli, Evans & Patel as Attorney Albert Evans’ paralegal in August of 1995 and am celebrating 30 years with the Firm in 2025. My journey at the Firm has been one of constant learning. I have had the privilege of working on a wide range of legal matters, and through it all, one thing has remained constant: the importance of truly listening to clients and understanding their needs. Every client brings a unique story. Being able to guide clients through complex and often emotional legal processes has been both an honor and a responsibility I take seriously. What continues to motivate me is the impact we can make—not just with legal outcomes, but with empathy, reliability, and trust.
I’m proud of the work we do, truly grateful and blessed to have worked with such exceptional attorneys and staff over the years and thankful that I’m a part of this Firm. The last 30 years have been rich with experience, and I look forward to continuing to serve our clients and grow as a legal professional in the years ahead.
Cathy McIllwain (paralegal – 26 years): I have been working at FEP for 26 years. I have stayed at FEP because when a person experiences a traumatic life-changing injury, it is a wonderful feeling to know that you were able to be there and help make that person’s life better. Working at FEP is my way of helping to make a difference.
Joseph Karvois (summer intern – two summers): My experiences with Fanelli, Evans & Patel over the years have been instrumental in shaping the foundation of my legal career and future. From interning in 2021 and 2022 to working more closely with the Firm as a paralegal throughout 2024 and into the summer of 2025, I could not be more thankful for the incredible mentorship and support I’ve received. The partners and entire staff at FEP are exceptionally knowledgeable, compassionate, and committed not only to helping their clients, but also to helping each other grow both personally and professionally. I’ve gained invaluable knowledge and a deeper understanding of the legal process through hands-on experience with legal writing and direct client interaction. These experiences—combined with the unwavering support and guidance from everyone at the firm—have shaped my development and strengthened my confidence as I prepare to begin law school this fall and continue striving toward my future goals. Thank you, FEP, for everything.
