Legal Assistant

We are seeking bilingual English & Spanish speaking Legal Assistants, Legal Secretaries, Paralegals, or Case Managers who enjoy working with people, staying organized, and keeping things moving. You will be involved in many aspects of day to day operations and will stay closely connected to each client and case, so you can see your impact from start to finish.

You Will:

Be a main point of contact for clients

• Answer and place calls, respond to emails and texts.
• Communicate with clients, vendors, adjusters, trustees, and opposing counsel.
• Provide updates in a calm, professional, and empathetic way

Handle new client intakes

• Interview potential clients and gather basic case information
