Legal Assistant

We’re looking for an exceptional Legal Assistant to join our team and help us serve families through estate planning, probate, and guardianship law.

At Finley Williams Law, we help families protect the people they love and the lives they’ve built, and we take seriously the trust our clients place in us.

If you’re the person who loves a good task list, notices when something hasn’t been followed up on, and gets satisfaction from making sure nothing slips through the cracks, we want to meet you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Keep things moving by tracking deadlines, tasks, follow-ups, and outstanding items
• Communicate with clients and make sure they know what’s happening and what we need from them
• Monitor court dockets, orders, deadlines, and upcoming hearings
• Manage calendars and schedule client meetings, hearings, and other appointments
• Organize client documents, correspondence, and electronic case files
• Prepare routine correspondence, forms, and legal documents for review
• Maintain our case management and client relationship management systems so the entire team knows where things stand
• Manage incoming and outgoing correspondence with clients, courts, attorneys, and referral partners
• Assist with incoming telephone calls and client inquiries
• Help coordinate meetings, seminars, and other activities with referral and community partners
• Assist with firm marketing, newsletters, social media, and client/referral-partner appreciation
• Help maintain and improve firm procedures, forms, and systems
• Most importantly: anticipate what needs to happen next instead of waiting to be asked

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Someone exceptionally organized who can manage multiple priorities without losing the details
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• High accuracy and attention to detail
• A proactive, dependable person who takes ownership and follows through
• Someone who understands that “I’ll get back to you” is a commitment
• Strong technology skills and comfort learning new systems
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Law firm, legal assistant, or paralegal experience is a plus, but the right person matters more to us than checking every box

We can teach our systems and processes. We’re looking for someone who brings the organization, judgment, initiative, and genuine desire to take care of people.

WHO WE ARE:

We’re building a different kind of law firm: people before files, quality over quantity, proactive communication, and excellent work without sacrificing your entire life to have a successful career.

Our philosophy is simple:

Protect What Matters. Honor What Is Entrusted to Us.
