Legal Assistant

Job Overview
iTeam Legal Solutions is hiring a detail-driven, tech-savvy teammate to keep our post-conviction and family/civil matters moving with speed and precision. You’ll sit at the center of our operations—coordinating case workflows, communicating with clients and sponsors, organizing records, and making sure deadlines never slip. You’ll use modern tools (Clio, Office computer tools, and AI-powered tools) to track tasks, prep status updates, draft routine letters, and maintain clean, audit-ready files. The right person is calm under pressure, obsessed with accuracy, comfortable learning new software fast, and confident speaking with clients who need clear, empathetic guidance. If you love turning chaos into checklists, closing loops, and leveling up processes, you’ll thrive here. This role has growth tracks into Case Management, Client Success, or Operations Leadership based on performance.

• Own calendar control: schedule hearings, deadlines, and client/sponsor touchpoints with zero slippage.
• Interview clients, sponsors, and witnesses; verify facts, cause numbers, and TDCJ unit details.
• Proofread all filings for accuracy, citations, exhibits, and compliance with court/agency rules.
• Manage e-filings (eFileTexas) and agency submissions (DA/CIU/TDCJ); log receipts and follow-ups.
• Protect confidentiality and handle sensitive records per firm policy and legal requirements.
• Perform precise data entry, document prep, and admin support to keep matters moving fast.
• Track payments, record costs, and sponsor add-ons; generate clean monthly summaries.
