We are an expanding law firm looking for a diligent Administrative Assistant who will take ownership and pride in being part of our evolution and growth. We provide sophisticated estate and asset protection planning services that make significant differences in the lives of the people we serve.

Administrators are the backbone of our expert legal teams, providing critical support and communication to attorneys, paralegals, and other legal professionals. They also are the first line of contact for providing exceptional client services, timely and accurate dissemination of information, and detailed database maintenance. Your work will be the glue that holds our day-to-day operations together.

Compensation: Starting at $30,000. Estate Planning is an area of employment in which most administrative professionals have no experience. Typically, there is significant training on the job, and we are paying someone to learn for approximately one year before they can work independently. Salaries in our firm increase with experience and value added to each position. If you are someone who wants to be a central part of an expanding business, with the potential to elevate yourself within our firm, contact us.

We are committed to the concept of "Great Practice, Great Life!" for all our team members. 

"Great Practice" - We have created a workplace where professional stress is minimized, internal systems produce predictable workflow, the caseload is reasonable, colleagues (both attorneys and paralegals) have true respect for what everyone contributes to the team, and we genuinely "have each other's backs." Our entire practice is focused on estate planning, asset protection, uncontested probate, and uncontested guardianship matters (we do NO litigation). 

"Great Life" - We have created a culture unlike that of most law firms, where home life is honored. We are with our families for dinner every evening. We don't work weekends. We want each team member to have the vacation time necessary to recharge our bodies, minds, and souls.

In short, our "Great Practice" enables each of us to have a "Great Life."
