Bilingual Legal Receptionist – Houston Law Firm

Our Houston law firm is led by a seasoned attorney with decades of hands-on legal experience. We are a tight-knit team of 5-7 professionals handling Criminal, Personal Injury, and Immigration matters. We have seen consistent growth and are actively looking for the right person to grow alongside us — someone who is driven, caring, and ready to make a real impact on the people we serve.

This is a full-time, in-office position suited for a motivated candidate who brings either prior experience in a law firm or professional services environment OR a college degree of any kind — you do not need both to be considered. From day one, you will play a meaningful role in how potential clients experience our firm. Your ability to make someone feel heard and welcomed during what is often a stressful time in their life is just as important to us as your administrative skills.

Compensation: $18–$23 per hour (based on experience and qualifications)

Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Answer and manage a multi-line phone system while welcoming clients in a warm and professional manner
• Have genuine, compassionate conversations with potential new clients who may be going through a difficult time, making them feel comfortable and confident in our firm
• Conduct all client interactions in both English and Spanish fluently
• Coordinate attorney schedules, manage client intake, and maintain organized case calendars
• Handle a broad range of administrative duties including drafting correspondence, document filing, and data entry
• Treat all client and case information with the highest level of confidentiality
• Pitch in on daily office needs and special projects as they arise

What We Are Looking For:

• Either prior experience working in a law firm or professional services environment OR a college degree of any kind — one is enough to qualify and both are welcome
• Full fluency in Spanish, both spoken and written, is a firm requirement — the majority of our clients communicate in Spanish
• A natural communicator who makes people feel welcomed, heard, and at ease from the moment they call or walk through the door
• Someone who is comfortable having genuine conversations with people who may be stressed or uncertain, and who can represent the firm with warmth and professionalism
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel) and openness to learning legal software platforms
• Detail-oriented, punctual, dependable, and a true team player
• A genuine desire to build a long-term career with a firm that is actively expanding
• Available to work full time in office Monday through Friday 9AM to 5PM

Bonus Skills (Nice to Have, Not Required):

• Any background in customer service, hospitality, or client-facing roles where building rapport was important
• Experience in sales or client acquisition
• Familiarity with social media platforms or content
• Prior experience in a law firm or legal environment

What You Will Gain:

• Competitive hourly compensation with real room to grow as the firm expands
• Direct exposure to Criminal, Personal Injury, and Immigration cases from day one
• A collaborative small-team environment with close access to an experienced attorney
• A genuine career growth opportunity — we want to invest in the right person for the long term

If you are bilingual, naturally warm and communicative, and ready to play a meaningful role in the growth of a Houston law firm, we want to hear from you. When applying, please share any experience, education, or training that makes you a strong fit for this role.

Pay: $18.00 - $23.00 per hour
