About Us
Our firm culture is based on respect and congeniality. It gives us pleasure to help our clients achieve peace of mind in the aging process and during challenging life events. We pitch-in together to help move client matters to completion. We welcome input from the staff. We’re always trying to be better and do better in our chosen practice areas.
Our office is located in a 220-year-old house that has multiple floors and no elevator. We provide off-street parking and we each have our own quiet workspaces with many bright windows. We are a busy office and spend our days “moving the ball forward” to get our client work accomplished.
Our ideal candidate has 2+ years’ experience in a law office. We are seeking someone who enjoys working independently and is self-motivated. Our attorneys sometimes work remotely so you need to be comfortable working through phone, Zoom, MS Teams, email, etc. The paralegal supports our busy team working on multiple legal projects. As many of our clients are dealing with the challenges that come with aging, you must be patient, understanding and compassionate.
Employees must pass a background and credit check before employment can commence.
