Office Assistant

About Us:

We’re a tight-knit legal team rooted in small-town values, offering the kind of top-tier service you’d expect from a big-city firm. Our clients know us by name, trust our integrity, and count on us to bring smart, compassionate, and relentless advocacy to every case - whether it's guiding a family through a tough transition, navigating a property transaction, or fighting for justice after an injury.

Job Summary:

We’re looking for a reliable, detail-loving Office Assistant/Legal Assistant to join our team. You’ll be the friendly voice on the phone, the calm in the storm, and the go-to support for attorneys working in a general law practice encompassing civil litigation, family law, real estate, probate, personal injury, and criminal defense. If you’re someone who thrives on variety, takes pride in doing things right the first time, and enjoys being part of a close-knit team, we’d love to meet you.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Answering Phones: Be the first point of contact - field calls with professionalism, warmth, and efficiency.
• Criminal Law: Assist with case prep, discovery, and court filings; coordinate with clients, courts, and law enforcement.
• Litigation: Draft pleadings and motions, manage deadlines, and keep case files organized and up to date.
• Family Law: Prepare documents for divorce, custody, and guardianship; maintain sensitive communication with clients.
• Real Estate Law: Draft contracts, and coordinate with agents, lenders, and clients.
• Probate: Help with estate filings, timelines, and communication with families and the court.
• Personal Injury: Organize medical records, assist with demand letters, and support attorneys through the claims process.
• Keep the office running smoothly - scheduling, filing, billing, and keeping everything (and everyone) on track.
• Greet clients with professionalism, kindness, and a smile.
• Manage appointments, correspondence, and general office duties with a can-do spirit.
• Help ensure that deadlines never sneak up on us

Who We're Looking For:

• High school diploma or equivalent; college coursework or legal training a plus
• Experience in a legal office, especially in any of the listed practice areas
• Friendly, professional phone presence and strong communication skills
• Organized, dependable, and able to juggle multiple tasks without dropping the ball
• Comfortable with Microsoft Office and willing to learn legal software
• Discreet, respectful, and trustworthy with confidential information
• A team player with a good sense of humor and a strong work ethic

Perks of the Role:

• Competitive pay
• Supportive team environment
• Opportunities to grow and learn
