- Conduct motion practice, hearings, and trials both virtually and in-person
- Negotiate settlements and communicate with pro se defendants and opposing counsel
- Collaborate with remote legal support staff to ensure timely and accurate filings
- Maintain strict compliance with state and federal consumer protection laws (FDCPA, CFPB)
- Conduct legal research and work on special projects as needed
What qualifications are required for this position?
- Must be licensed and in good standing with the State Bar of California
- 1–3 years of relevant legal experience, preferably in litigation or collections
- Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
- Strong negotiation skills and excellent verbal and written communication
- Detail-oriented with exceptional organizational and time management skills
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and legal document management systems
