Job description

Our San Diego Divorce and Family Law firm has a full‑time opportunity for a Family Law Paralegal (minimum 3 years’ recent experience in family law) who has integrity, is a team player, and has strong administrative skills. If you are looking for a fast‑paced, positive team environment that provides professional growth opportunities, then look no further. If you are bilingual and can speak English and Spanish, then you already have an advantage.

This position is NOT a work‑from‑home position. We are located in Mission Valley, and our hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Do not apply if you do not have a Paralegal Certificate. Please do not call our office.

While we are focused on rapid growth, we are still small enough to care about every team member and client. We need someone who has a proven track record of being able to manage a caseload and corresponding deadlines and be able to prioritize tasks.

We expect to train you on how we operate within the firm, but you should have the substantive knowledge and experience needed to hit the ground running as a superstar Family Law Paralegal. Since we are a small firm, the most important quality you can possess is a great attitude, eagerness to learn, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and help wherever it’s needed.

What We’re Looking For

• Detail‑Oriented and Organized
• Sound Judgment
• Adaptable and Collaborative
• Tech Savvy
• Stellar Interpersonal Skills

Benefits

The firm pays for HMO Kaiser Health Insurance (up to $500/month), Dental, Vision, Acupuncture/Chiropractic, Life Insurance, and Long‑term Disability Insurance. 10 days of accrued vacation for the first five years and 15 days after completion of five years of employment. There are 10 paid holidays for which the firm is closed; we also offer retirement and vested firm matching. Profit sharing is available if the firm and the employee meet all goals.
