JOB OVERVIEW

Solo female lawyer seeking a part-time receptionist and legal assistant to start ASAP. The firm handles family law, probate and guardianship and is based in Houston, Texas. The role starts part-time (10-20 hours per week), with plenty of room to grow into a full-time position once you're familiar with our work, our clients, and our processes. Initial duties will focus mainly on returning calls and emails and scheduling, with more legal support responsibilities added over time.

To be considered, you must communicate well by phone and by email. You must also be able to create time entries for yourself and help send out bills in our case management application, Clio. You must have high-speed internet, a quiet workspace, and a smartphone that can run the Quo app so you can answer calls from courts, new and existing clients, and other law firms.

Top candidates will be able to help with motions practice: data entry and drafting in TXDOCs, drafting and revising in Microsoft Word, and e-filing legal documents. They will also be comfortable with Adobe Acrobat, Slack and Google Sheets. Hours are generally flexible, except that calls and emails should typically be returned between 8am and 6pm Central Time on weekdays. Occasionally, there may be an urgent or after hours need for help subject to your availability.

TO APPLY, YOUR MESSAGE MUST INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING. Applications missing any item will not be considered:

1. An audio or video sample (1-2 minutes). Record whatever you like, for example: tell me about yourself, what interests you about legal work, or how you would greet a new client calling the firm. Any file type or link is fine.
2. A short writing sample (a link or pasted text).
3. Your availability for a phone or Zoom interview, in Central Time.
4. Your expected hourly rate and weekly availability for ongoing work, in Central Time.
