• Scheduling initial consultations for qualified prospects and ensuring a smooth handoff to our attorney team
• Completing required intake and conflict-check procedures prior to consultation scheduling
• Maintaining detailed notes and tracking all prospect interactions in HubSpot
• Providing an exceptional experience for every person who contacts our firm
• Managing ongoing follow-up workflows so qualified opportunities do not fall through the cracks

This is a full-time position, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM PST.
