Job description

We remove the chaos and overwhelm of divorce and custody cases so clients can rebuild their lives. That only works because our paralegals keep every case moving, catch problems before they become emergencies, and never let a deadline slip.

We're not looking for someone who just wants a paralegal job. We're looking for someone who wants to run point on family law cases from filing to trial, lead a legal assistant, and be the person the attorney and clients trust completely.

If you've done real trial prep — not just discovery, but briefs, witness lists, exhibit lists — if you have a passion for family law, and you want to be part of a firm that's grown 300% in 3 years, apply today.

If this is you, please apply today! We are looking for our Champion!

Compensation:

$57,000 - $65,000 yearly plus bonuses


Responsibilities:

  • Own the case timeline. Every task done, every deadline met, no exceptions.

  • Prepare Petition packages with Disclosures, RFOs/motions, full discovery (propound and respond), subpoenas, and all trial documents — briefs, witness and exhibit lists, judgments — under attorney supervision.

  • Supervise and direct your assigned legal assistant's work product and deadlines.

  • Communicate directly with clients: gather information, request documents, give regular case updates.

  • Work fluently across 2-3 monitors in Smokeball. We are paperless except for trial binders.

  • Track time diligently and accurately, meeting an annual billable requirement of 1440 hours.


Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of family law paralegal experience, including hands-on trial prep (briefs, witness/exhibit lists) — not just intake or discovery.

  • Experience supervising or directing another team member's work.

  • Comfortable in a fully digital, multi-monitor case management system (Smokeball or similar).

  • Strong written communication — you'll draft documents an attorney can file with minimal edits.


About Company

Our standards: We live by our core values — Integrity, Teamwork with Enthusiasm, Communication with Clarity and Compassion, Curiosity and Innovation, Service Through Systems, and No Abuse (we don't tolerate it toward clients or teammates, and we don't tolerate it from them either). If that doesn't sound like you, this isn't your firm.

WE OFFER: Competitive pay, PTO, Flexible hours, 401(k), and Bonus/incentive compensation
