The ideal candidate will have strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. This is an excellent opportunity to build a rewarding career and be part of a respected and successful law firm.
Compensation:$16 - $19 hourly
Responsibilities:Legal Assistant
Our fast-paced Elder Law/Medicaid Law Firm in Queens is growing and we are looking to hire an experienced full-time Legal Assistant. We are accepting applications on a rolling basis. You will find more information below about our Firm and what we are looking for in our Legal Assistant.
Are you passionate about helping people?
We are looking for an experienced Legal Assistant to grow our legal team. When our clients hire us, they are going through an emotionally difficult period in their lives, and our goal is to help them make their lives better. We help seniors get the care they need and deserve without running through their life’s savings.
Our Legal Assistant will interact and build relationships with our clients in person and over the telephone, while supporting our team by assisting with Medicaid applications, document drafting, legal research, drafting legal correspondence, and maintaining organized files. This position requires a combination of empathy, experience, and skill. Our Legal Assistant will play an integral role in creating memorable experiences for our clients.
Other requirements include the following:
- You should be comfortable with a computer and have excellent spelling and grammar.
- Serving clients in an elder law practice can be messy, and there is often no right or best answer. Even gathering the information can be difficult. You will need to be creative, organized, and efficient to do your job well.
- We all make mistakes, and we allow for that, but a penchant for accuracy and attention to detail are required to avoid mistakes that can cost our clients dearly.
- You will be working on many tasks and cases concurrently, over long periods of time. We expect you to keep track of key dates, keep the right people informed, and prioritize your time so that we never miss a deadline.
- You should treat a client, case, or task at 4:30 pm on Friday with the same care and compassion as one on Monday morning at 9 am.
- Our clients are dealing with massive stress and anxiety. You should be empathetic and help put them at ease.
- We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running, but we will provide some training and onboarding.
You will have a growth mindset, an ability to relate with people in crisis, and a good sense of humor. The Legal Assistant position is full-time.
Does this sound like you?
We seek exceptional people who want to become part of our team. To us, the word “team” means we win together and we lose together, so your contributions to our overall profitability and reaching our goals include anticipating problems, proposing solutions, and just generally demonstrating that you are ready to join us through thick and thin. Your contributions will be recognized, appreciated, and rewarded. If you are motivated by overcoming challenges and personal, professional, and financial growth, then this could be the right place for you.
Ready to apply?
We look forward to hearing from you.
Qualifications:- Must have at least 1-3 years of experience of working in a law firm setting. Preference will be given to those with prior relevant law firm experience in elder law, estate planning, and estate administration.
- Must be sharp, independent, self-directed, and quick to learn.
- Computer Savvy.
- Proficient in MS, Adobe, and Outlook.
Who we are:
We are an enterprising Elder Law firm that is on track for aggressive growth, and we need an experienced Senior Associate to join our team and work directly with the owner, and be in full charge of managing the caseload.
We like to be known as the firm that beats the Managed Long Term Care plans at their own game - the firm that other attorneys refer their Medicaid cases to and feel confident their clients are in good hands - the firm that goes the extra mile in advocating for our clients. We get into the weeds with the home care cases, and we are relentless.
