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.
