Pauline Staffiero


Paralegal


 

Pauline Staffiero was born overseas to parents in the Military, who were transferred to Ft. Rucker when she was five years old. Their family moved to Ozark, Alabama where she grew up, went to school and graduated from Carroll High School.

After high school, she attended the Alabama Aviation College in Ozark and earned a Secretarial Degree. She worked with the then United Federal Bank in Ozark and moved to the Dothan United Federal Bank. After that, she worked with a local computer business and large corporation. From there she worked with a local attorney who was the Houston County Attorney at that time for four years; became an insurance agent and then worked for three years with a firm from Birmingham. She then worked for Cherry & Givens for three years before starting her own business. She decided to return to the legal field a few years ago with another law firm and now Cherry & Irwin.

Pauline enjoys meeting new people and helping them with their cases. She also enjoys sewing, crafts and traveling with her husband.
