Job summary

Modern Family Law in Everett, WA is seeking a Family Law Paralegal to work directly with attorneys on divorce, child custody, property division and support matters. You will carry your own caseload, draft filings, and ensure timely filings while maintaining client communication.

The role emphasizes drafting and filing submissions, meeting deadlines, and collaborating with attorneys. Eligible for a remote-first environment with in-person needs for court and client matters.

Qualifications

• Family law experience required. What matters more is whether you can draft cleanly, hold a deadline and talk to a client who is upset.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication.
• Proficient in e-filing with all major county court systems.
• Experience supporting multiple attorneys in a law firm setting.
• Demonstrated ability to capture all billable work accurately, contemporaneously, efficiently and ethically using clear, client-appropriate narratives.
• High attention to detail, and the composure to stay organized when multiple matters need something on the same afternoon.
• A collaborative instinct. We are a team, and we measure ourselves partly on whether the people around us succeed.

Responsibilities

• Carry a caseload of family law matters from hire through resolution, working alongside multiple attorneys.
• Draft and prepare the filings that keep matters moving: Petitions, Summons, Case Information Sheets, Notices and Entries of Appearance, and Notices of Withdrawal and Motions to Withdraw. E-file with county court systems and track the status of the case through the system portals.
• Own the deadlines. Calendars, filing dates and court requirements sit with you, and nothing goes late.
• Talk to clients. Answer their questions and follow up before they have to ask. Family law clients are often having the worst time of their lives, and how they are treated matters as much as the filing being correct.
• Keep your matters clean. A leader should be able to open any file of yours and find it current and accurate without warning or question.
• Work with attorneys as a colleague, not an inbox. The best paralegals here tell the attorney what is coming, not the other way round.
