Rice & Kendig Injury Lawyers is a personal injury law firm built on Justice, Truth, Service, Compassion, and Growth. We are results-driven advocates for our clients and a close-knit, high-accountability team internally. We value people who take ownership of their work, think ahead, and care deeply about doing things right.

About the Role

This is not an entry-level or training role.

We are seeking an experienced, highly organized, and self-directed Executive Assistant/Paralegal to support one of our firm owners. This role requires someone who can independently manage personal injury cases and provide executive-level administrative support without constant oversight.

You will be trusted with deadlines, client communication, document accuracy, and case organization. If things fall through the cracks, it mattersso we are looking for someone who naturally prevents that from happening.

This Role Is NOT a Fit If:

• You have only assisted attorneys but have not independently managed PI cases
• You need frequent reminders to follow up, meet deadlines, or complete tasks
• You are seeking an entry-level, training, internship, or support-only role
• You struggle with organization, proofreading, or juggling competing priorities
• You prefer slow-paced or highly supervised environments

Please only apply if you meet the experience and independence expectations below.
