Job description

Brighter Day Law helps families navigate difficult transitions with preparation, integrity, and steady legal guidance. We are looking for a Legal Assistant to join our Colorado Springs office.

For many of the clients, the Legal Assistant is the first person they meet after they decide to work with us. That first conversation, whether it's a phone call or someone walking through our door, sets the tone for everything that follows. We are looking for someone who can hold that moment with warmth and steadiness, while also handling the detailed, fast-moving work that keeps a case on track.

Legal Assistants at Brighter Day Law support our paralegals and attorneys across the full life of a case, from intake through hearings and trial preparation. You will help keep documents organized, deadlines met, and communication clear, for clients, for opposing counsel, and for the team you work alongside.

We Offer:

• Base pay plus benefits, including firm-covered medical and life insurance

• 401(k) with employer contributions

• Paid time off in accordance with firm policy

• Merit-based raises and bonuses

• A structured, coaching-oriented environment with clear expectations and direct, respectful feedback

We are especially drawn to people who are naturally organized, comfortable with a high volume of information, and steady under pressure rather than rattled by it. Discretion matters here, as does a genuine interest in helping people through a hard time in their lives. This role works closely with paralegals and attorneys, so we're looking for someone who communicates well, asks good questions, and is glad to be part of a team rather than working in isolation.

Compensation

$18-19 per hour, depending on experience.

We Also Provide

• Health, dental, and life insurance

• 401(k) with employer contributions

• Paid time off

• Merit-based raises and bonuses
