• E-Filing & Court Liaison: File documents via PeachCourt, eFileGA, and federal e-filing systems; coordinate service and courier deliveries.
• Post-Judgment Enforcement: Assist in garnishment actions, asset searches, and judgment collection processes.
• Client & Vendor Communication: Interface professionally with clients, opposing counsel, court staff, and service vendors.
• File Maintenance: Ensure digital case files are accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with firm procedures.

What we’re looking for:

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree; ABA-approved paralegal certificate preferred.
