Paralegal

Role Description

This is a full‑time, on‑site Paralegal role located in South Parker, CO at Perkins Law Group, PC. Full‑time hours are expected, but part‑time may be considered for the right applicant. We seek an enthusiastic individual eager to learn, who is positive, highly motivated, and tech‑savvy.

The Paralegal will support attorneys in a variety of legal tasks: managing documentation, drafting court pleadings, calendaring deadlines, communicating with clients, and providing general administrative support. The position requires handling multiple areas of law, meeting deadlines, and taking ownership of one’s work.

By assisting the Public Administrator for the 23rd Judicial District, this role involves more than a typical office job. Driving and use of a personal vehicle are required to visit off‑site locations, review a decedent’s personal property and assets, communicate with family and friends, and interact with the general public.

Because our firm is small, duties of a Paralegal and legal assistant often intertwine. You will be expected to make copies, get/make coffee, answer phones, and perform other tasks necessary for the firm’s success. Contributions to creating additional templates and processes to help the firm thrive are a major plus.

Do not apply if you are not ready to work hard. We work hard, but we also have fun.

• Strong organizational and time‑management skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to prioritize and handle multiple tasks for both litigation and transactional cases.
• Proficiency in MS Office and a willingness to learn a case‑management system.
• Ability to help prepare for trial—including organizing exhibit books.
• Experience working in a law‑firm setting is a plus, especially with knowledge of the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure, the Colorado Rules of Probate Procedure, and court rules.
• Attention to detail and accuracy.
• Strong grammar, writing, and typing skills.
• A BA/BS or similar qualification is requested but not required; a combination of experience and education may be considered.
• An ABA‑approved Paralegal Certificate is preferred but not required.

• Help administer both intestate and testate estates.
• Prepare inventories and accountings for estates and trusts.
• Draft estate plans and ancillary documents.
• Assist clients with funding services for their trusts.
• Prepare eviction notices and eviction complaints.
• Assist attorneys with trial preparation.
• Draft and file pleadings, disclosures, and discovery.
• Conduct research and analysis using Westlaw, Lexis Nexis, and other legal research tools to support case preparation and strategy.
• Visit houses to help the public administrator protect and preserve estates.
• Provide an experience in the administration and support of both trusts and estates, including general understanding of fiduciary duties and obligations.
• Prepare summaries of legal documents and assist with proofreading and transcription to ensure accuracy.
• Conduct client interviews under attorney supervision and assist with client communication as needed.
• Maintain confidentiality of sensitive information and ensure compliance with legal standards.

• Income of $60,000 to $70,000 annually, depending on experience.
• 401(k) match at 4% after 3 months.
• Holidays and paid time off in accordance with state law.
