Required qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s degree or Paralegal Certificate
  • Experience in probate, trust administration, or estate planning preferred
  • Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Ability to work independently, take initiative, and meet deadlines

  • Comfortable receiving direction and adapting to changing priorities
  • Top traits we value :

  • Self-motivated
  • Organized
  • Detail-oriented
  • Friendly
  • Proactive
  • What You’ll Receive :

    We believe that people do their best work when they feel respected, supported, and valued. That’s why we offer :

  • Competitive salary : $65K to $75K annual, could be higher depending on experience
  • Discretionary annual bonus (no commissions)
  • Health insurance and firm-sponsored benefits
  • Free parking
  • Access to on-site gym (waiver required)
  • Hybrid schedule : Hybrid for first month of training; then working remotely after training
  • A work environment that values professional development , work-life balance, and genuine team connection
  • Our Culture & Core Values :

    We are not your typical law firm. At the heart of our work is a team of compassionate, growth-oriented professionals who are united by shared values :

  • Respect – We treat clients and teammates with dignity, kindness, and professionalism.

    We’re committed to hiring someone whose personality and values align with our supportive, learning-focused environment. If you’re looking for a people-first law firm that values your well-being as much as your output—this may be the perfect fit.

    Ready to Apply?
