We are searching for a detail\-oriented, organized, and experienced personal injury secretary/paralegal/case manager to join our legal team for 20 to 35 hours a week (which could then lead to a full\-time basis).
Primary tasks will include speaking with clients, calendaring important dates and deadlines, preparing complaints, filing pleadings and other documents, coordinating service on defendants, monitoring and assisting in written discovery, preparing and sending notices for depositions and motions, ensuring the case file is updated, logging invoices, and preparing client accounting.

This job will be mostly remote with some weekly or bi\-weekly office meetings.
