Job Description
Any candidates without paralegal experience in the state of Washington will not be considered. Experience in the King County, Thurston County, and Snohomish County is a bonus.
Truce Law is looking for a family law paralegal with a minimum of 5 years of paralegal experience in the state of Washington to join our legal team.
Our law firm sets itself apart by marketing to clients who are looking for a low-conflict collaborative divorce, with contested divorce cases being the exception at our firm. If you want to spend more time with clients who are interested in settling their divorce peacefully through negotiation, Truce Law is the place for you. As a family law paralegal at our firm, you’ll work with legal mentors who have decades of experience helping clients negotiate difficult divorce challenges, while also playing a key role on your legal pod committed to helping families achieve faster results by resolving legal issues with less conflict, and less litigation. Our clients want to negotiate healthier co-parenting arrangements for their families and hire us because they don’t want to go to court. We are looking for a team player who loves creative problem-solving, and who wants to help couples and families move forward using conflict resolution rather than an adversarial approach.
Our team loves working for Truce Law because of our relaxed atmosphere, and our focus on collaborative law, which means our legal team isn’t regularly facing the kinds of higher conflict cases (and the associated stress involved). Our mentors are committed to nurturing your growth and development as a family paralegal within our firm. We even have one team member who is going through the Rule 6 program (https : / / www.wsba.org / for -legal-professionals / join-the-legal-profession-in-wa / law-clerk). Finally, we have a diverse staff from around the world (and if you like team gaming nights at Mox, we’ll see you there!).
Our ideal paralegal is organized, detail-oriented, and ready to play an important role on our legal team. You'll draft legal documents such as declarations, prepare briefs, conduct legal research for hearing preparation, and keep case files and other important information neatly organized and easily accessible. If you're interested in advancing your paralegal career with growth opportunities, we want to hear from you.

About Company
Truce Law was formed on February 14, 2018, with a focus on bringing a compassionate approach to all family law matters. We handle both amicable and litigious cases with the goal of finding a solution for the client.
The public perception of divorce is shaped by what we see on TV, and most people have very little understanding of the divorce process and what they do see on television (e.g., Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard) leads to fear of the process and false expectations.
Our vision is that one day the public looks first to amicable options when facing separation and family conflict, with the traditional "contested" case being the exception. In addition, it is our vision that Truce Law be the leading firm people turn to when facing family challenges.
It is our mission to educate the public about their collaborative options when facing divorce and bring a collaborative mindset to all cases that we handle.
Salary : $76,000 - $86,800
