Litigation Paralegal

Van Dyke & Associates is a trial-focused litigation firm handling complex trust, estate, and fiduciary disputes. We are looking for an experienced paralegal who thrives in complex litigation, tight deadlines, and serious courtroom work.

• Prepare and manage trial exhibits, witness lists, and exhibit binders
• Organize and maintain discovery databases, deposition transcripts, and document productions
• Assist attorneys with deposition preparation and trial logistics
• Draft and file pleadings, discovery, subpoenas, and motions
• Coordinate with court reporters, vendors, witnesses, and experts
• Track deadlines, hearing dates, and trial calendars
• Maintain trial-ready files for multiple complex cases

• 3+ years of litigation paralegal experience
• Strong knowledge of California civil litigation and discovery
• Experience with trial prep, depositions, and exhibit management
• High attention to detail and ability to manage large volumes of documents
• Comfortable working in fast-moving, high-pressure litigation
• Professional, reliable, and self-directed
• Trust & estate litigation experience is a plus, but not required — we can train the subject matter if you already know how litigation works.

We handle serious cases with real stakes — multi-million-dollar trusts, contested estates, and fiduciary misconduct. Our paralegals are not background staff; they are part of the litigation team.

You will work directly with trial lawyers on cases that go to court, not just settle.

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Health benefits
• Paid time off
• Professional growth in a trial-focused firm

Salary Range:
The salary range for this position is $65,000 to $95,000 annually, commensurate with experience, skill level, and demonstrated litigation support capability. Compensation within this range will be determined based on the candidate’s background, training, and ability to manage complex litigation tasks, including discovery, trial preparation, and case management in a fast-paced environment.
