In this role, you will assist the lead attorney across a range of transactional and non-litigation matters. You will need excellent organizational skills, strong written and verbal communication, sharp proofreading ability, and the judgment to operate with minimal supervision once oriented. We are looking for a paralegal with three or more years of experience who can prioritize effectively and manage multiple matters concurrently.

The role focuses on drafting legal documents, client correspondence, and supporting the attorney through every stage of a matter — from intake to closing. This is a non-litigation position; courtroom work, depositions, and litigation discovery are not part of the role.

• Strong attention to detail and consistent accuracy on filed documents
• Ability to manage your own caseload and meet deadlines without prompting
• Proficient with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
• Experience with legal practice management software preferred (Clio, CosmoLex, MyCase, or similar)
• Notary commission, or willingness to obtain one, is a plus

What we offer:

• Hourly compensation of $25 to $35, depending on experience
• Primarily in-office role at our Forney-area office
• Paid time off, paid sick leave, paid holidays, and 401(k) eligibility after a qualifying period
• Mileage reimbursement for any required travel between offices
• Stable small-firm environment with direct mentorship from the lead attorney
