Legal Assistant

Join a Results-Driven Criminal Defense Practice

We are seeking an experienced, highly motivated Legal Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced Criminal Defense environment and takes pride in seeing cases through from intake to successful closure. This is an opportunity to work closely with a dedicated attorney who values efficiency, professionalism, and strong client relationships.

We are not just looking for administrative support — we are looking for a key team member who understands the importance of case strategy, client communication, and ensuring every matter is handled with precision and care.

What You’ll Do

• Manage cases from intake through trial and final resolution
  


• Maintain proactive communication with clients, courts, and opposing counsel
  


• Assist in trial preparation and attend court proceedings as needed
  


• Prepare case briefs and summarize depositions, interrogatories, and testimony
  


• Conduct investigations and research to support case development
  


• Draft, proofread, and file legal documents accurately and efficiently
  


• Track deadlines, manage calendars, and ensure procedural compliance
  


• Support smooth case closures with complete documentation and organized follow-up
  


• Contribute to client satisfaction and retention through professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail
  

What We’re Looking For

• 1–2+ years of experience as a Legal Assistant, preferably in Criminal Defense
  


• Strong understanding of criminal court procedures and legal protocols
  


• Proven ability to manage multiple active cases and deadlines
  


• Experience supporting cases through final closure
  


• Client-focused mindset with strong communication skills that contribute to client retention
  


• Bilingual (English/Spanish) required
  


• Proficiency in case management software and Microsoft Office
  


• Legal Assistant certification or diploma preferred
  

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct collaboration with the attorney
  


• Meaningful involvement in criminal defense cases
  


• Clear, structured 9–5 schedule
  


• Opportunity to grow within a respected and client-focused practice
  


• Work where your organizational skills and case management expertise truly matter
  

The Ideal Candidate

You are organized, confident, and proactive. You anticipate needs before being asked. You take ownership of your cases, understand the importance of closing matters efficiently, and know that client trust and retention are built through consistent communication and follow-through.

If you are looking for a position where your experience and professionalism will be valued and where you can play a key role in delivering strong legal representation, we encourage you to apply.
