Administrative Assistant — Prestige with Personality

We're one of the top criminal defense law firms, but don't worry- we're not all stiff suits and serious faces. Yes, we handle high-stakes cases. Yes, we work with absolute professionalism and give our best each day. But we also know how to laugh when things get crazy (and trust us, in criminal law, things do get crazy).

We're hiring an Administrative Assistant to assist our attorneys and paralegals in managing client caseloads, calendaring, and client intake. No legal experience is required- we'll train you. What matters most is that you're organized, quick on your feet, and eager to grow. This is a role with real upward mobility: today, you're keeping calendars up to date; tomorrow, you may have an opportunity to join our team of paralegals and expand your role and knowledge in the legal field.

So, if you want a career that challenges you, teaches you, and gets your foot in the door of the legal field, we invite you to apply and share in our firm's growth and success.

The Job (your mission, should you choose to accept it):

• Keep calendars tighter than courtroom security.
• Answer phones and emails professionally—even when attorneys are buried in trial prep.
• Organize files and discovery like your life depends on it (because someone’s case might).
• Handle confidential information with the same care we handle evidence.
• Keep the office running smoothly so our lawyers can do what they do best- defending our clients.

Who You Are (our not-so-secret weapon):

• Master multitasker who thrives on deadlines and details.
• Calm, unflappable, and great at keeping things professional under pressure.
• Tech-savvy and quick to learn (yes, we use legal software, but no, you don’t need to know it yet).
• Organized enough to make a judge jealous of your docket.
• A good sense of humor- we aren’t all stiff suits and serious faces.
