Qualifications:

The ideal candidate will have a blend of sharp legal skills and a personality that adds to our team dynamic. Key qualifications include:

  • Paralegal Certificate.
  • Competent with legal research tools, case management software, Adobe, and the Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Experience in preparing and filing judicial council forms.
  • Proficient in billing and ordinary law firm requirements. Candidates with backgrounds in Family Law, Civil Litigation, or Estate Administration tend to find that the skills translate to Probate and Trust Litigation.
