Personal Injury Litigation Paralegal Tampa
Personal Injury Litigation Paralegal To learn more from our founder and Managing Partner about MattLaw ®
and the next steps in applying for this position, please call 813-628-8529 (MATTLAW).
ABOUT US MattLaw ®
is a team of Tampa area injury lawyers led by Matt Powell, who has protected thousands of victims and their families for over 35 years.
MattLaw ®
protects the most vulnerable of our society, people who can't protect themselves, children, and the elderly. Mothers can't control what the doctors, nurses, and hospitals are doing during the birth of their child, they place their trust in these professionals, and occasionally they are betrayed resulting in a child born with cerebral palsy. Children are unknowing victims of dangerous products, predatory coaches, religious leaders, or unsafe playgrounds. Our elderly are unable to protect themselves in nursing homes that are understaffed or potentially unsafe. We are active in helping to keep kids safe by sponsoring local charity events throughout the Tampa Bay area where we give children free bicycle helmets and other bicycle riding safety equipment.
ABOUT THE POSITION As a law firm of trial lawyers, we pride ourselves on carrying out the hard work that most lawyers avoid. Litigation paralegals at MattLaw ®
support our clients and attorneys through proactive, hands‑on case management. Your role is to serve as the liaison between attorney and client regarding processes, scheduling, and updates while assisting the attorney with filing documents, responding to motions, docketing deadlines and timelines from court, including discovery and anticipating trial needs.
This position requires great organizational and summary skills and the ability to get the job done during crunch time like trial. Every litigation case has its own quirks and complexities. You will prepare demonstrative aids to exhibits introduced at trial, work with the team to draft responses to expert discovery, Daubert motions, and coordinate companion cases that are peripheral to the main litigation such as guardianship, probate, bankruptcy, or criminal.
The Personal Injury Litigation Paralegal is not a position for everyone. We assist clients during the best and worst times of their lives, guiding them through the legal and litigation process to resolve their problems in a fair, efficient, and appropriate manner.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Draft and file legal documents, including motions and discovery requests
