JOB OVERVIEW

We are a Texas-based bankruptcy law firm seeking a reliable and detail-oriented Legal Assistant to support our Chapter 13 team. This role requires excellent organization, client communication, and initiative to keep cases moving forward.

What You’ll Do
* Assist with preparation of Chapter 13 bankruptcies by organizing and reviewing client documents
* Collect documents from clients as needed and follow up to ensure nothing is missing
* Track monthly plan payments for active Chapter 13 cases and flag any issues
* Communicate with clients regarding case status, missing documents, and next steps
* Monitor active cases and help ensure deadlines and tasks are completed
* Enter and update information in our case management system accurately and consistently
* Support the paralegal team with administrative and case-related tasks

What We’re Looking For
* Strong attention to detail — you notice when something is missing or doesn’t look right
* Highly organized and able to manage multiple tasks at once
* Clear and professional written English (this role involves frequent client communication)
* Responsive and dependable — we rely on you to keep things moving
* Comfortable following systems and processes, but able to think when something doesn’t fit
* Prior legal or administrative experience is preferred, but not required for the right candidate

How You Work
* You take ownership of your work and follow through
* You communicate clearly and ask questions when unsure
* You care about doing things the right way, not just the fast way

This role is a long-term opportunity to be part of our growing law firm.
