Legal Assistant | Kearney Law, PLLC
Location: Downtown Tampa, FL (in office)
Type: Full-time
Pay: $18-$22/hour, depending on experience
About Us
Kearney Law, PLLC is a growing law firm in Downtown Tampa serving clients in real estate and title, family law, probate, and personal injury. We work alongside our affiliated title agency, so our team sees how a law practice and a closing operation run together. We’re a close-knit team that values curiosity, accountability, and helping people through some of the biggest moments in their lives.
The Opportunity
This is a great fit for someone who wants to learn how a law firm really runs. No legal background is needed. We’ll train you from opening a file to closing it, and you’ll take on more responsibility as you show you’re ready for it. We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us, not just fill a seat.
What You’ll Do
- Answer client calls and emails and help clients feel taken care of.
- Open, organize, and maintain case and transaction files.
- Draft and proofread correspondence, forms, and basic legal documents under attorney supervision.
- Prepare and e-file court documents and track deadlines.
- Schedule appointments, hearings, and closings.
- Gather and organize documents, records, and client information.
- Support the attorneys and staff across practice areas, including real estate closings and title work.
- Learn our case management and title software, and help improve our processes.
What We’re Looking For
- A learner’s mindset. You’re curious, you ask good questions, and you want to understand the why behind the task.
- Initiative. You notice what needs to be done and don’t wait to be told. You also know when to ask.
- Attention to detail. In law, one wrong date or name matters.
- Strong communication. You’re professional, clear, and kind on the phone, in writing, and in person.
- Organization. You can juggle competing deadlines without dropping the ball.
- Tech comfort. You’re comfortable with Microsoft Office/Google Workspace and can pick up new software quickly.
- Reliability and discretion. You’ll handle confidential information, and we take that seriously.
Bonus (Not Required)
- Prior office, customer service, or administrative experience.
- Experience in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
- Bilingual (Spanish/English).
What We Offer
- Hands-on training across multiple areas of law, with exposure most entry-level roles don’t offer.
- Room to grow into a senior support or closing/title role, with raises as your skills grow.
- Mentorship from practicing attorneys.
- Paid time off and paid holidays.
