• Strategic Drafting: Craft substantive pleadings, motions, and complex discovery responses with a high degree of technical accuracy.
• Discovery & Inventory: Lead the discovery and inventory process, including tracing separate property funds and identifying "red flags" in complex financial affidavits or business valuations.
• Trial Readiness: Partner with attorneys to curate trial exhibits, organize trial notebooks, and manage ongoing RFOs (Requests for Order).
• Administrative Precision: Oversee court filings, maintain rigorous calendaring for hearings and deadlines, and ensure billable hours are captured accurately.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: At least 2+ years of dedicated Texas Family Law experience as a paralegal.
• Technical Mastery: Proficiency in E‑Filing across various state court portals and staying current with local rules.
• Software Expert: Fluent in Clio/MyCase, Google Suite, and modern document management systems.
• Ethical Anchor: A professional who understands the line between legal information and legal advice and remains calm under the pressure of emotionally charged litigation.
• Team Leader: A self‑starter capable of providing mentorship and contributing to a collaborative team culture.

What You’ll Get

• Competitive Earnings: A base salary commensurate with experience plus earn up to $35K more with our attractive billable hour bonus plan, paid out every paycheck!
• Essentials: 401(k) with up to 5% company match, medical/dental/vision, and full benefits.
• Real Balance: PTO, company holidays, and an earned hybrid option designed to protect your work‑life balance and mental health.
