Family Law Legal Assistant / Paralegal

We are seeking an experienced, organized, and compassionate Family Law Paralegal/Legal Assistant to work closely with an established family law attorney in a busy, client-focused small practice.

This is more than an administrative position. You will play an integral role in managing cases from intake through resolution, communicating directly with clients, preparing legal documents, coordinating deadlines and hearings, and helping keep the practice running smoothly.

The ideal candidate is someone who takes ownership, thinks ahead, stays organized under pressure, and genuinely cares about providing excellent service to clients who are often navigating difficult and deeply personal circumstances.

What You'll Do

Prepare pleadings, motions, declarations, subpoenas, parenting plans, agreements, correspondence, and other family law documents.

Serve as a key point of contact for clients, communicating professionally and compassionately about case needs, deadlines, documents, and next steps.

Manage case files, calendars, deadlines, appointments, mediations, depositions, hearings, and other case-related events.

Assist with discovery, including preparing responses, organizing and reviewing documents, redacting records, and organizing financial information.

Support hearings, mediations, and trials by preparing exhibits, trial notebooks, and other case materials.

Prepare and submit electronic court filings, monitor filing acceptance, coordinate service, and follow Oregon court procedures.

Assist with client intake, opening and closing files, billing, case management, correspondence, and other day-to-day administrative needs.

Anticipate what needs to be done and help ensure important details and deadlines don't fall through the cracks.
