Paralegal - New Jersey Family Law / Matrimonial
We are a Divorce and Family law firm located in Northern New Jersey, helping to prevent legal and parental injustices against Men and Fathers; we want good Fathers and children to stay together and that no man gets left behind by the system or run over by their spouse.
We are currently seeking an experienced family law paralegal to start ASAP.
We are looking for a positive, enthusiastic self-starter who can prepare Case Information Statements, discovery demands and answers, subpoenas, draft motions, and client certifications, prepare trial binders and briefs, legal research, and someone who is skilled at communicating effectively with the court, opposing counsel, and clients with almost no guidance (although you will work closely with your supervising attorney).
The candidate will take pride in getting the work done quickly and accurately; they don't need to be told what to do (or not to do), but at the same time is not afraid of making mistakes; someone who understands everyone has to room for improvement and is open to coaching without taking it personally. They also don't wait for the next job assignment- they already have their to-do list ready to go and are driven to move the cases forward for the benefit of the clients.
If and when necessary, the candidate should be willing to travel to any in-person court appearances to assist the attorney with exhibits, witnesses, and technology. Speaking of which, the candidate should absolutely love technology and trying out different platforms to improve efficiency and truly subscribe to the work smarter, not harder philosophy! The candidate also understands that part of the role is providing a WOW! customer experience for our clients, and is not afraid of the telephone or any other means to provide constant communication and manage clients' expectations.
The candidate should also exude confidence and be grateful for the opportunity to make a long-lasting impact by providing our clients with support to turn their current familial turmoil and stressors into a successful and healthy future. The candidate can accept responsibility for any mistakes and love what they do. They are excited to be on the journey and be a part of stopping legal and parental injustices.
If this describes you, you are the perfect fit for us.
This position is more than a job. For the right candidate, it’s a career; We treat everyone with respect and professionalism and provide every opportunity to grow and achieve your personal, professional, and financial goals.
