Paralegal for a Winning Criminal Defense and Personal Injury Law Firm

Work Responsibilities

You will be responsible for having frequent interactions with clients and the opposing party. You will work closely with attorneys, keeping cases up to date, the attorney's calendar current, and helping prepare documents. You will be responsible for: answering client questions, communicating with opposing parties, the courts, providing updates to clients, drafting documents, ordering medical records, and updating and organizing client files.

Work Criminal Defense and Plaintiff Personal Injury

You must have strong communication skills and should be comfortable working on criminal defense and personal injury cases. The type of cases will include clients accused of drug crimes, violent crimes, and sex crimes. If the thought of interacting with someone charged with certain crimes (or viewing violent crime scene photos) makes you feel uncomfortable, then you may not want to apply.

Work Environment

It is fast-paced and you should expect to hit the ground running. You should have knowledge and experience in drafting basic motions (appearances, motion to continue, subpoenas, complaints, etc.).

We work hard but like to have fun. If you have a sense of humor, that is a positive for our work environment. Additionally, if you are interested in movies (especially superhero movies) and books (especially comic books), that is a plus.

We prefer at least 2 years of paralegal or legal experience in at least one or more of the following: civil (personal injury), criminal, or family law.
