Job Description

Family Law Paralegal  (Westboro, MA & Hanover, MA)

Hello! It’s Us You’re Looking For -

We’re not your average law firm. At O’Connor Family Law, we’re fighters, strategists, advocates. We focus on divorce, custody, and high-conflict family law, and we’re extremely passionate about what we do, which is helping clients work toward better futures. Clients are navigating some of the most challenging moments of their lives, and we show up with compassion, excellence, and a relentless drive to help them emerge stronger than they started.

If you thrive in high-stakes environments, like to laugh while getting serious work done, and take pride in being the behind-the-scenes powerhouse that holds it all together (as well as tell the attorneys what they need to do), you might just be our next paralegal.

What You'll Be Doing

Let’s be real; This job is for someone who knows family law inside and out already. We need a legal unicorn who can hit the ground running with minimal hand-holding.

You'll be a key part of our litigation team, helping to ensure that every client receives excellent, efficient, and emotionally intelligent legal service.

Perks of Joining Our Team

  • Competitive pay ($25–$40 / hour based on experience)
  • QSEHRA Health Reimbursement Program
  • 401(k) match
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Student Loan Reimbursement (while allowed by the government)
  • Ongoing legal training and professional development
  • Opportunity for Community Development and Pro Bono Assistance
  • A supportive team that genuinely cares about each other
  • A mission-driven workplace where you’ll see the difference you’re making

Compensation : $25 - $40 hourly

Responsibilities :

  • Drafting complaints, motions, discovery requests / responses, financial statements, and parenting plans, discovery – you name it, you’re going to have the chance to draft it
  • Managing client case files, timelines, and deadlines
  • Ensuring cases proceed efficiently
  • Communicating empathetically with clients, courts, and opposing counsel
  • Reviewing and organizing financial documents, GAL reports, and DCF records
  • Preparing cases for hearings and trials—including exhibit binders, timelines, and witness coordination
  • Supporting attorneys during litigation prep and managing post-judgment follow-up
  • Keeping our lawyers sane (okay, that part’s unofficial…but appreciated)
  • Qualifications :

    You Might Be the One If You :

  • Have at least 3+ years of experience as a paralegal in divorce and custody law(Massachusetts procedural experience strongly preferred)
  • Know your way around the Probate and Family Court better than some judges’ clerks
  • Understand how to draft clean, clear legal documents and aren’t afraid of a tight deadline
  • Are fiercely organized, unshakably reliable, and take on your work
  • Can juggle multiple cases without dropping the ball (or the coffee)
  • Communicate like a pro (or maybe like a coach) with clients, team members, and courts
  • Have empathy, boundaries, and a solid sense of humor
  • Don’t need micromanagement; You’reself-motivated, resourceful, and proactive
  • Who Should Apply (Seriously, Save Us All the Time) :

  • If you can’t hit deadlines without reminders
  • If you need constant supervision or direction
  • If you don’t like working directly with clients
  • If you freeze in high-conflict situations or under pressure
  • If you think a paralegal role means "just filing stuff"
  • About Company

    Values : C.H.A.N.G.E.

    Courageousness : Life unfolds in proportion to your ability to face fears, stand up for what is right, and inspire change. Sometimes, someone else needs you to be courageous for them so they can find the strength in themselves.

    Honesty : We don't just tell people what they want to hear. The truth isn’t always the easiest, but not telling it destroys trust.

    Ambitiousness : We shoot for the stars and never settle for being just good enough. The goal for massive improvement is to try to be just 1% better every day.

    Navigator : Our goal is to be like a lighthouse that continues to shine and guide others through the rough waters to safety.

    Growth : We possess a never-ending drive to push ourselves and those around us to continuously improve personally, professionally, and emotionally.

    Empowerment : When you change the way you think, you change your future. We cannot empower someone to do or be something; we can only give them the tools to empower themselves to reach their goals.
