• Assist in drafting pleadings and discovery for attorney review
• Maintain organized litigation files and case materials
• Track deadlines and assist with calendar management
• Assist with e-filing in Texas State and Federal Courts

Qualifications

• Paralegal certificate, associate’s degree, or bachelor’s degree preferred
• Strong writing, grammar, and communication skills
• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Comfortable working in a small firm environment

“Why are you interested in plaintiff-side litigation, and how do you stay organized with multiple deadlines?”

All candidates must pass a background check and pre-employment drug screening.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone seeking real litigation experience, mentorship, and long-term growth within a plaintiff-side practice.
