  • Significant responsibility and real case ownership
  • Clear systems, structure, and accountability
  • A consistent and growing caseload (no need to bring your own)
  • A team that expects precision, responsiveness, and follow-through


What We’re Looking For

  • Prior paralegal experience required; family law preferred
  • Ability to independently manage multiple active cases
  • Strong understanding of litigation procedures and deadlines
  • Excellent drafting skills and attention to detail
  • Highly organized, proactive, and accountable
  • Professional communication skills, especially with clients in high-stress situations

  • Quarterly bonus structure tied to transparent performance metrics
  • 70% employer-paid health insurance (including dependents)
  • Vision and dental coverage
  • PTO + Flex Time


Our Culture

We operate with high standards. The work is demanding, and expectations are clear—but you are supported by a team that is aligned and invested in each other’s success.

We are also intentional about culture. We work hard, but we make space to enjoy the process—firm fun days, internal contests, shared wins, and a collaborative environment (including a steady stream of GIFs).

If you are a paralegal who takes ownership, thrives in a results-driven environment, and wants to be part of a firm that is growing with purpose...
