Bankruptcy Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are looking for someone who can become the attorney’s right hand in managing cases, keeping files organized, following up with clients, monitoring deadlines, identifying missing information, and helping move matters efficiently from intake through filing, the 341 meeting, and discharge or completion.

This is a PART-time hybrid position based in Riverview, Florida, with some work-from-home flexibility.

• Managing Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 consumer bankruptcy files.
• Gathering, organizing, and reviewing client financial documents.

• Prior experience working as a consumer bankruptcy paralegal is required.
• Strong knowledge of Chapter 7 consumer bankruptcy procedures.
