Drafting:
Prepare preliminary drafts of motions, pleadings, and court orders for attorney review.

Manage the lifecycle of filings, including preparing transmittal letters and ensuring e-filing compliance.
Case Advocacy:
Act as a critical set of eyes on case files to identify missing information or strategic opportunities.
What You Bring to the Table:
A minimum of 3 years of experience as a Litigation Paralegal, ready to hit the ground running in Family law and/or Criminal law practices
A rock-solid understanding of legal concepts, terminology, and the litigation lifecycle.
Mad skills with legal research platforms and case management software.

What We Offer:
Work-Life Balance:
A set part-time schedule that respects your time out of the office.
