As I look at your post, I have a feeling that you English
isn't good enough to get a job with the majority of law
firms. My suggestion, and I don't know if this is possible,
is that you go into the Turkish immigrant community, look for
lawyers who market to that community, and offer to work for
them as a translator/office help, etc. Then go take some
intensive night courses in English writing skills. When you
have mastered English, you can then concentrate on getting
paralegal skills, but my guess is that by then you won't need
to take a course.
