Legal Administrative Assistant- Part-Time Hybrid

We represent people who have been injured at work. Clients are often disabled and in need of medical treatment. They look to us to obtain insurance coverage for those needs. We help them understand their legal rights, make good decisions about insurance coverage disputes, and present their stories in court.

We are looking for an organized, focused person that can stay in the zone and with minimal supervision. You would maintain a regular schedule and would primarily follow well-defined procedures to process incoming mail, incoming emails, and incoming phone calls. Although there will be some contact with clients and coworkers, this is likely a good role for an introverted person that is most comfortable with a quiet focus on well-defined, detailed tasks. Experience is not required. We will provide training and ongoing support.
