BIO

Gianna Carabez is our Litigation Paralegal Manager.  She plays a pivotal role in overseeing the litigation paralegal team’s operations and ensures the efficient handling of cases throughout the litigation process.  

Gianna manages and mentors a team of litigation paralegals in Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. She assigns tasks, monitors performance, and facilitates professional development. This team of litigation paralegals acts as a point of contact between the firm, clients, and court personnel, facilitating communication and ensuring that client needs are met promptly and professionally.  Gianna oversees the preparation of legal documents, scheduling of court proceedings, and ensures adherence to litigation processes and procedures. 

While studying English at Loyola University, Gianna knew she didn’t want to become an instructor or writer. She preferred the analytical side of her studies and wanted to enter a profession that offered her plenty of puzzles to solve. Her ability to manage multiple cases simultaneously, ensuring that all deadlines are met and that case files are meticulously maintained, makes her a perfect paralegal! 

Gianna is a dedicated legal professional with nearly a decade of experience in the legal field. She started her career as a legal assistant at a firm specializing in asbestos litigation defense and complex civil aviation litigation. She then worked as a family law paralegal. However, she’s now found her calling in personal injury, providing empathetic support to clients navigating the stress and uncertainty of litigating a personal injury claim.  Gianna began her tenure at McCready Law as the sole litigation paralegal. Over nearly seven years, her dedication and expertise led to her promotion to Supervisor, and subsequently to Manager of the Litigation Paralegal Team.

Outside of work, Gianna has a genuine passion for learning about different parts of the world. She’s traveled to Ireland, Mexico, Aruba, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and is looking forward to traveling back to Italy.
