Document Technologist

To learn more from our founder and Managing Partner about Matt Law® and the next steps in applying for this position, please call  (MATTLAW).

Matt Law® is a team of Tampa area injury lawyers led by Matt Powell, who has protected thousands of victims and their families for over 35 years.

Matt Law® protects the most vulnerable of our society, people who can’t protect themselves, children, and the elderly. Mothers can’t control what the doctors, nurses, and hospitals are doing during the birth of their child, they place their trust in these professionals, and occasionally they are betrayed resulting in a child born with cerebral palsy. Children are unknowing victims of dangerous products, predatory coaches, religious leaders, or unsafe playgrounds.

Our elderly are unable to protect themselves in nursing homes that are understaffed or potentially unsafe. We are active in helping to keep kids safe by sponsoring local charity events throughout the Tampa Bay area where we give children free bicycle helmets and other bicycle riding safety equipment.

At Matt Law® we are early adopters of technology and strive to preserve our natural resources in the legal industry which is addicted to paper. As a Matt Law® Document Technologist, your responsibilities require extreme organizational skills, high-levels of computer literacy, ability to learn and use new technology quickly. Duties range from scanning paper documents to be converted into digital files, preserving electronic medical records, to handling video and audio files in various formats, and keeping this information organized, protected, and confidential.

This position includes the handling of all outgoing documents whether in the form of email, postage, or delivery service. Most Document Technologists become familiar with the contents of the legal documents, the flows of information, and the progression of cases from onboarding of a new client to the closing of disbursement of settlement funds at the end of the case. From intake to archive, this position will constantly require learning as technology, documents, files, change over the course of time.
