Litigation Paralegal

We are an entrepreneurial law firm that is on track for aggressive growth, and we need an experienced Paralegal to join our team and work directly with the owners and attorneys to support the team and help the clients.

We want to be known for helping clients come out of extremely emotional legal situations feeling empowered, stable, and supported by a team that truly cared, communicated well, and fought for their best outcome. We are growing fast, and we need a Paralegal who can hit the ground running.

This position will be responsible for important work, including:

• Drafting and filing pleadings, motions, affidavits, and discovery
• Organizing, reviewing, and managing client documents and evidence
• Communicating with clients, opposing counsel, and court personnel
• Preparing financial declarations and disclosures
• Managing attorney calendars, court dates, and deadlines
• Assisting with trial prep and hearing logistics
• Maintaining organized electronic and physical case files
• Entering and tracking billable time contemporaneously

If the statements below appeal to you, then you may be our next Paralegal!

• You love supporting others and making systems run smoothly
• You take pride in catching small details others miss
• You smile when you answer the phone
• You are an amazing scheduler with a sickening degree of attention to detail
• You’re very good with calendars, email, spreadsheets, word processing, and online tools
• Your middle name is “No Drama”
• You are an awesome juggler of tasks and can change gears quickly
• You don’t think scanning, organizing, or admin work is “beneath you”
• You believe every client deserves dignity, empathy, and great service

We love to help people learn and grow—but we don’t have time for that right now. We need a Paralegal with experience including contested and uncontested divorce, custody, visitation, child support, and name change matters, probate and personal injury. The ideal candidate will take initiative on work that needs to be done and complete tasks with minimal hand-holding.

This is a full-time position where you are expected to manage a caseload. You must be able to work 40 hours per week, whether remotely or in-office based on firm policy.

Compensation:

During the first 30 days of employment, the pay will be $22.00 an hour, with opportunities for increase after that. Bonus compensation is available for those who can demonstrate their profitability and consistency.
