We are a fast-growing, small law firm hiring a Legal Intake Specialist in Fort Lauderdale. Below is more information about the requirements, qualifications and job description associated with the Legal Intake superhero job opening.

When our prospective clients call us for help, they're often going through an emotionally difficult period. We are looking for an up-and-coming superhero to continue to grow our intake department.

Our Intake Specialist provides our potential clients the ultimate customer service experience. This important position involves complete administrative duties related to client intake and retention. It requires the right combination of telephone skills, empathy, and ability to investigate the root of their problems. No prior legal experience is necessarily required (but it’s a plus).

Additionally, if you have previous legal experience and are looking for your next step in your career, this position is perfect for you.

You must be an optimistic, positive person. Our office does not do well with toxic people or negative attitudes or whiners, complainers, gossipers, martyrs, or victims.

We prefer people who are not afraid of computers or learning new things that will make their jobs easier. You must be able to handle working with several different databases of information. If you aren’t 100% confident managing data and people, you are not the right person for this job. You must be competent and proficient in the use of Word, Outlook, Adobe, and Facebook, at a minimum. If you are familiar with legal case management software, that is a plus. (We currently use Clio Grow).

We are fully invested in policies and procedures and systems. We believe in a team approach, where you can ask for help when you need it without fear of being judged. But, at times, you will also need to know how to figure things out on your own and be able to creatively solve problems and come up with solutions. You must be able to think on your feet and make smart decisions. If you can’t think on your feet, please do not apply.

 Other requirements include the following:

• Convey confidence on the phone
• Set the tone and the pace of the client phone call
• Show empathy to clients and puts them at ease during their difficult time
• Treat a call at 4:30 p.m. on Friday with the same care and compassion as one on Monday morning
• Demonstrates exceptional communication skills
• Proficient in Microsoft Office
• Ability to think on your feet and change gears quickly
• Inbound sales experience is a plus
• Go-getter with a strong work ethic
• Legal experience a plus

Most importantly, you need to have compassion when dealing with our clients. As an ambassador to the world for our firm, you will be one of the first people our clients speak with. Your ability to listen to what you are being told and ask follow-up questions is very important. If you cannot listen, understand, evaluate, and interview someone, this is not the job for you.

To put it simply, we want you to do good work and rally around our clients to help solve their legal problems. We want people who want to make a positive difference in our little piece of the world.

Think you have what it takes to be our next Legal Intake Specialist? We provide training, and for the right person, this will be a highly rewarding position. If this sounds like a good fit for you, you will need to complete a two-step process in order to be considered. If both steps are not completed, you will not get a response from our hiring team. Depending on the application platform you are using, you might not be able to complete the second step in which case we will have you complete it if we schedule an interview with you.
