📋 Description

• Document Drafting and Legal Filings: Prepare and review complaints, discovery requests and responses, motions, and legal correspondence in accordance with Maryland procedural requirements. Ensure all documents are accurate, timely, and strategically aligned with case goals. • Discovery and Scheduling Management: Maintain oversight of critical legal deadlines, such as 30-day windows for discovery responses and 15-day motion reply periods. Track and manage all case-related scheduling, court appearances, and client communications with precision. • Case Prioritization and Workflow: Manage a caseload of 40+ family and criminal law cases independently. Prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance, pivot seamlessly between assignments, and proactively anticipate attorney needs without constant oversight. • Trial and Hearing Preparation: Organize, assemble, and label trial binders and exhibits. Attend court when needed to support the attorney with documentation, logistics, and in-the-moment adjustments. • Technology and CRM Utilization: Work within Clio (preferred) and streamline CRM workflows to ensure case data remains well-documented, up to date, and operationally useful. • Internal Communication and Coordination: Maintain open, proactive communication with the firm’s founder. Regularly provide updates, flag approaching deadlines, and resolve operational issues before they become roadblocks.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of paralegal experience in family law. In addition, criminal law experience would also be ideal. • Legal Acumen: Thorough understanding of Maryland’s procedural deadlines across family and criminal law; ensures no discovery or filing deadline is missed. • Organizational Excellence: Demonstrable ability to juggle high caseloads, prioritize, and self-manage workflow in a fast-moving firm environment. • Technical Aptitude: Experience with Clio or similar case management tools, clear documentation skills, and confident use of standard office software. • Independence & Initiative: Comfortable acting autonomously, identifying what needs to be done, doing it well, and communicating proactively. • Cultural Fit: Aligned with the firm’s empathetic and client-first ethos, professional yet personable, and ready to uphold standards through proactive support.

🏖️ Benefits

• Location: Onsite role based at the firm’s office on Merrimac Court, Prince Frederick, MD. • Benefits: Currently in development; plan implementation expected after six months of employment.
