WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Our ideal candidate is experienced, organized, proactive, detail-oriented, and an excellent communicator. You care about the people behind the cases, remain composed when things get busy, and enjoy being part of a collaborative, high-performing team.

Because of the level of responsibility involved, this position requires hands-on family law paralegal experience and the ability to manage the paralegal responsibilities of a caseload with confidence. This is not an entry-level position.

Experience, professionalism, and attention to detail are essential. A sense of humor is too.
