If you are interested in joining a thriving small law firm that values you and your work, this may be the job for you. We are The Grey Legal Group, a law firm located in Murrieta.

We are seeking a Family Law Assistant to grow our team. If you have experience at a Law Firm as a Receptionist, File Clerk, Administrative Assistant, Legal Support Assistant, or other legal support staff, this job is for you!
