Our mission is to represent clients in criminal cases with excellence: providing outstanding legal representation and fantastic customer service. We value meaningful work, a positive work environment, contribution to a team, continuing development, and a healthy life balance.

The administrative assistant should also possess strong verbal and written communication skills, attention to detail, and technological ability. Candidates should possess or be working toward a degree or certificate in office administration, office specialist, administrative professional, legal secretary, or paralegal.

The position can begin as part-time or full-time. Training is provided, so experience is less important than positive traits. We emphasize continual learning, and responsibilities will increase with professional development. This is intended to be an opportunity for a long-term career.
