Why Work Here?
“We are a small law firm that does not hire very often and we are currently looking for the right individual to join our family.”
Busy personal injury firm is seeking a fluently bilingual receptionist/assistant, preferably with 2+ years of plaintiff personal injury experience (however, no specific experience required). Responsibilities include handling all telephone communications and otherwise directing the information flow in a fast-paced environment. Additional duties include assisting with document management and file management.
While this position does not require specialized legal skills, the position could possibly grow into a paralegal job over time, given the right candidate. To assess your suitability for this position, before your application is reviewed, we require you take the two assessments presented as part of the application process: (1) Attention to Detail, and (2) Written Communication.

We are also seeking an individual with an EXTREMELY high level of attention to detail. This position will require frequent communication with other attorneys and assistants via email and telephone in order to schedule meetings, follow-up on correspondence requests, and otherwise get people to do things they don’t normally want to do. The right candidate will be able to clearly and professionally communicate to ANYONE as required, including via email, social media, or in person.
