    Job Description

    We believe every client deserves the opportunity to see (and taste) the rainbow on the other side. Can you visualize what that feels like? Looks like? For many clients, this is an unfamiliar sight. We are devoted to getting them there. We do what we do because it's our mission to get to the other side of an ugly legal situation.

    What do we have to offer?

    • An opportunity to join a team that makes a difference in clients' lives. We only hire competent professionals, and give them the autonomy to do their job
    • A competitive starting salary and performance-based bonus system
    • Generous health benefits
    • Room to grow and develop with a thriving firm
    • The ability to laugh at the unique scenarios we take on

    We are searching for somebody who will help our attorneys and clients make it through family law issues, such as divorces, child custody, adoptions, and more.

    Our firm is a female-led, minority, woman-owned, LGBTQIA+ law firm​ with clear values. We are candid. We want and help our staff to grow, personally and professionally. We are genuine and open-minded with our staff; we hope for growth, both professionally and personally. Our mission is to instill accountability and create opportunity. If these values align with yours, and the description above resonates with you, we want to hire you as our next Litigation Paralegal.

    Compensation:

    $70,000 total compensation

    Responsibilities:
    • You Must have experience in family law.
    • You Must have litigation experience.
    • If we don't need to hold your hand and tell you what needs to be done at each step of the case assigned to you – Do Apply for this job.
    • If you know what objections to insert in response to discovery served on a client, Do Apply for this job.
    • We embrace team members who are factual and realistic and quick to offer solutions to make our policies and procedures stronger, which in turn better serves clients. You Must respect our policies and procedures and speak up when you have an idea to add to our efficiency and accuracy.
    • We look for people who embrace innovation and the use of technology in order to make their jobs easier. You must be proficient with Word, and basic case management.
    • The ideal candidate is able to change gears quickly, think on your feet, and make smart decisions. You also need to be detail-oriented and willing to go the extra mile to get the job done right the first time.
    • In the family law field, it's extremely important for our team members to practice empathy and compassion. It's important to not take things personally and understand clients are going through one of the toughest times in their lives. Our job is to help them stay focused on where they want to go and guide them on how to get there.
    • You must be a team player. You will be working with other members of our staff and both you and our other staff members are accountable to each other. We strive to schedule our internally imposed deadlines with plenty of time before the final "real" deadline. But, as you may have experienced, we will always have a handful of clients who bring us discovery documents the night before court.
    • The people who thrive here are those who roll up their sleeves and help their team get the work done.

    Specific duties:

    • Calendaring deadlines and tasks and making sure deadlines are met and tasks are completed on time.
    • Drafting pleadings, including Petitions, Motions, DRFAs, Child Support Worksheets, etc.

    • Ability to think independently is a Must.
    • Passion for helping people with grace and compassion is a Must.

    The perfect addition to our team will come in with a wealth of experience, and step right into the roles necessary to get clients through their cases. This is a full-time job, and our employees must show up in-office during regular hours to ensure that clients have access to someone on the team. You must also be a positive person in a challenging environment. We don't take on these cases for anything but the best outcome for clients. If you have the skills, mindset, and emotions to handle this type of work, we would love to hear from you
