We are looking for a Paralegal to help guide clients through the perilous paths of probate and trust litigation. If you’re ready to combine your legal expertise with our unique, nerd-friendly, hard-working culture, this is the opportunity for you!

  • Discovery: Work directly with clients to help gather and manage information about the decedent’s assets and debts.
  • Communication: Serve as a bridge between beneficiaries, creditors, and court personnel.
  • Distribution: Assist in distributing assets to beneficiaries (no Rings of Power, though).

Trust Litigation

  • Draft Court Filings: Aid in the preparation of motions, supporting papers, and pleadings for litigation cases.
  • Case Management: Keep case files organized, indexed, and battle-ready.

Qualifications:

The ideal candidate will have a blend of sharp legal skills and a personality that adds to our team dynamic. Key qualifications include:

  • Paralegal Certificate.
  • Competent with legal research tools, case management software, Adobe, and the Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Experience in preparing and filing judicial council forms.
  • Proficient in billing and ordinary law firm requirements. Candidates with backgrounds in Family Law, Civil Litigation, or Estate Administration tend to find that the skills translate to Probate and Trust Litigation.
About Company

We are a team of approachable, no-nonsense lawyers dedicated to solving problems and delivering real outcomes. Our practice areas include Probate and Trust Litigation, Business Litigation, and General Liability Defense. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming firm where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work. (Yes, that means your Funko Pop collection and Harry Potter references will fit right in.)
