We are a fast-growing law firm founded by forward-thinking lawyers. We are looking to hire an experienced full-time
Legal Assistant with a minimum of 1 year of experience as a Bankruptcy Legal Assistant in a consumer bankruptcy law firm.
We are looking for an "A+" player with the talent to help us expand our entrepreneurial business. You will need to bring a high level of energy, positivity, and a can-do attitude to work every day.
Skills and experience are required and valued, but attitude, character, personality, and integrity are also important. The ideal candidate will have a growth mindset, an ability to relate to people in crisis, and a good sense of humor. High-maintenance, humorless, or self-important individuals will not succeed in this position and should not apply.
