JOB OVERVIEW

Full-Time Remote Position
Compensation: $700 per month
Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific Time
Alternative schedules may include Saturday and Sunday, depending on the assigned shift.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced, independent, and highly organized Legal Assistant to help manage approximately 10 to 15 active California legal matters.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can prepare legal documents, complete court forms, handle electronic filings, communicate with courts and attorneys, monitor deadlines, organize evidence, and keep every case moving without constant supervision.

Experience with California family law, civil litigation, restraining orders, discovery, and Los Angeles County Superior Court is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

-Maintain a master tracker for all cases, hearings, deadlines, filings, and next actions.
-Review court orders, minute orders, emails, discovery, and case documents.
-Draft motions, pleadings, declarations, objections, notices, and other legal documents under direction.
-Draft discovery requests, responses, deficiency letters, subpoenas, and meet-and-confer correspondence.
-Complete California Judicial Council forms and related court forms.
-Prepare exhibits, attachments, proposed orders, and proofs of service.
-Handle California family law and civil electronic filings.
-Monitor filings until accepted and promptly correct rejected submissions.
-Check court dockets for new filings, rulings, orders, and hearing dates.
-Call court clerks, attorneys, law offices, agencies, and other authorized contacts.
-Coordinate signatures, service, transcript requests, records requests, and document delivery.
-Assist with authorized online claims, FBI reports, police reports, and government submissions using verified information.
-Transcribe court hearings and recordings when legally permitted.
-Organize evidence, including emails, messages, recordings, photographs, transcripts, and court documents.
-Prepare hearing packets, case summaries, timelines, and daily status reports.
-Research California court procedures, local rules, forms, and filing requirements.

Required Skills

You should be comfortable with:

-California family law and civil litigation
-Drafting pleadings, motions, and discovery
-Completing California court forms
-Electronic filing and service systems
-Calling clerks, attorneys, and government agencies
-Court docket monitoring
-Hearing preparation and transcription
-Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Word, and PDF tools
-ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools

AI may assist with research and drafting, but all deadlines, laws, filing requirements, citations, and case facts must be independently verified.

Working Standards

-Be online and ready before your assigned shift.
-Take ownership of tasks through completion.
-Follow up without waiting to be reminded.
-Never guess about deadlines, court requirements, or filing status.
-Verify important information and provide the source.
-Keep every task marked as Completed, Pending, Waiting, or Blocked, with the next action listed.
-Maintain strict confidentiality.
-Do not provide independent legal advice or engage in the unauthorized practice of law.

You Will Be Successful When

-No important deadline is missed.
-Every case has a clear next action.
-Filing packages are complete and prepared early.
-Rejected filings are corrected promptly.
-Hearings are organized in advance.
-Evidence and documents can be found immediately.
-The legal tracker always reflects the current status of every case.

How to Apply

Please provide:

-Your California legal experience.
-The types of cases and filings you have handled.
-Your experience with pleadings, discovery, court forms, and electronic filing.
-The court filing systems you have used.
-Your availability in Pacific Time and on weekends.
-A redacted writing or filing sample.
-A short explanation of how you would manage 10 to 15 active cases without missing deadlines.
