Litigation Paralegal
At DK Law, we don’t just represent our clients. We stand with them, all the way. We’re modern injury and accident attorneys who go all the way for every client, from every background. At the heart of our work is a simple but powerful belief: every client’s experience matters, and we honor it as if it were our own. From the very first call to the final resolution, we approach every case with the mindset that it’s going the distance.
That same mindset fuels our workplace culture. We’re a team of purpose driven professionals who care deeply, move fast, and never lose sight of the human side of what we do. If you're passionate about making an impact, growing with a team that values excellence and empathy, and being part of something bigger, we’d love to meet you.
The Role
We’re looking for a sharp, detail-obsessed Litigation Paralegal who thrives on drafting, discovery, and driving cases forward. This is not your average admin role we need a litigation-savvy legal professional who can draft form complaints, prepare written discovery, and support attorneys in fast-paced, deadline-driven pre-lit matters.
If you're the type who double-checks your own double-check, and can turn complex case facts into compelling legal documents, you’ll feel right at home here.
You’ll be joining a supportive, close-knit Demands Team that’s passionate about closing cases with excellence and they’re looking for someone who brings the same energy, precision, and hustle.
What You Will Do
- Draft and file form complaints with a high level of accuracy and attention to deadlines
- Prepare and respond to written discovery (interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admission)
- Support attorneys by managing litigation calendars, statutes of limitation, and follow-ups
- Coordinate depositions, medical exams, and interpreter/court reporter services
- Organize and prepare trial binders, motions, and other key filings
- Monitor and route settlement documentation and track communication with insurance adjusters
- Act as a communication bridge between the Demands Team and Litigation Team
- Maintain detailed case notes and file updates in our CRM system
- Role may include other relevant duties as assigned
What We’re Looking For
- Minimum 5 years of recent litigation paralegal experience (personal injury preferred)
- Strong command of California Civil Procedure; familiarity with federal rules is a plus
- Proven track record of drafting complaints and discovery without supervision
- Master-level attention to detail, nothing gets past you
- Ability to manage a heavy caseload and shifting priorities with grace
- Comfortable working with fast-moving teams and tight deadlines
- Experience with trial prep and calendaring deposition logistics
- Proficient in Microsoft Office and legal CRM systems
- Bilingual in Spanish or Korean is a plus
