Entry Level Paralegal Jobs in Spring, TX (NOW HIRING)

We are looking to hire an entry-level associate who is taking the July 2026 bar exam. We're not looking for someone who simply wants a job.

• Grow into a high-level litigator and trial attorney
• Help build a modern law firm that is redefining what client experience looks like

We want a lawyer who is eager to master litigation, continually improve, and help build something exceptional. This is not a “sit back and coast” law firm. This is a high-performance environment built around accountability, innovation, and results.

Compensation includes:

• $80,000 base salary
• 5% bonus on net attorney fees from cases you settle
• 50% of attorney fees generated from the business you bring to the firm

You can expect to earn over $100,000 in your first year here, with upside earning potential.

• Medical, dental, and vision,
• STD, LTD, and life insurance,
• 401(k) with a 4% match,

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

Within your first six months, you'll successfully pass the bar exam, become licensed, and begin managing your own caseload with support from experienced attorneys and staff. You'll develop strong client communication skills, confidently handle case strategy discussions, negotiate with insurance adjusters, draft pleadings and motions, and participate in depositions, hearings, and mediations. You'll become proficient with our technology stack, including Litify, AI-powered legal tools, and case management systems that allow us to move cases faster and provide an exceptional client experience.

By your first year, you'll independently manage a growing docket of personal injury cases while consistently delivering excellent results for clients. You'll be trusted to evaluate liability, damages, and settlement value, take ownership of case progression, and collaborate effectively with paralegals, case managers, and other attorneys. Most importantly, you'll have established yourself as a reliable advocate who embodies our core values, contributes to our team culture, and helps us continue delivering outstanding outcomes for injured clients.
