Job DescriptionJob DescriptionTo learn more from our founder and Managing Partner about MattLaw® and the next steps in applying for this position, please call 813-628-8529 (MATTLAW).

ABOUT US

MattLaw® 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.

MattLaw® 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.

ABOUT THE POSITION

SUMMARY: At MattLaw® we pride ourselves as being a law firm of trial lawyers. As a result, we strive to do the hard work that most lawyers avoid. In order to provide excellent service to our clients, litigation paralegals have the demanding job of supporting our clients and the lawyers through proactive, hands-on case management.

Your role is to be the liaison between the attorney and the client regarding processes, scheduling, and updates along the way assisting the attorney with the filing of documents, responding to motions, docketing deadlines and timelines from court, including discovery and anticipating the needs for trial.

This position requires great organizational skills, great summary skills, and the ability to get the job done when it comes to crunch time like trial.

Preparing demonstrative aids to exhibits to be introduced at trial , to working with the team to draft appropriate responses to expert discovery, Daubert motions, as well as coordinating companion cases that are peripheral to the main litigation cases such as guardianship, probate, bankruptcy, or criminal.

The Personal Injury Litigation Paralegal is not a position for everyone. As lawyers, we assist clients at the best times of their lives as well as the worst times of their lives. Our job is to help guide our clients through the legal and litigation process and help them solve their problems in the most fair, efficient, and appropriate way that meets the needs of their lives.
