Are you an experienced, organized, and compassionate paralegal looking for a law firm that truly values people—clients and team members alike?

We are looking for a Trust & Estate Administration Paralegal to join our growing, people-first law firm. This role is ideal for someone who is client-centered, detail-driven, and ready to work in a supportive, collaborative environment where attorneys and paralegals work hand in hand—not in silos.

Required qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s degree or Paralegal Certificate
  • Experience in probate, trust administration, or estate planning preferred
  • Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Ability to work independently, take initiative, and meet deadlines
  • Friendly, professional demeanor with a client-focused mindset

  • Comfortable receiving direction and adapting to changing priorities
  • Top traits we value :

  • Self-motivated
  • Organized
  • Detail-oriented
  • Friendly
  • Proactive
  • What You’ll Receive :

    We believe that people do their best work when they feel respected, supported, and valued. That’s why we offer :

  • Competitive salary : Starting rate of $50,000, could be higher depending on experience
  • Discretionary annual bonus (no commissions)
  • Health insurance and firm-sponsored benefits
  • Free parking
  • Access to on-site gym (waiver required)
  • Hybrid schedule : In-office for first month of training; then working remotely with 1–2 days in-office per week
  • A work environment that values professional development , work-life balance, and genuine team connection
  • Our Culture & Core Values :

    We are not your typical law firm. At the heart of our work is a team of compassionate, growth-oriented professionals who are united by shared values :

  • Respect – We treat clients and teammates with dignity, kindness, and professionalism.
  • Honesty – We lead with integrity and value transparent communication.
  • Collaboration – We work as a team, support one another, and celebrate shared success.

  • Excellence – We aim for the highest standards in every task, big or small.
  • Our collaborative and compassionate culture means that attorneys and paralegals truly partner to serve our clients. There's mutual respect at every level of the firm, and we genuinely want the best for our team members—not just professionally, but personally.

    We’re committed to hiring someone whose personality and values align with our supportive, learning-focused environment. If you’re looking for a people-first law firm that values your well-being as much as your output—this may be the perfect fit.

    Ready to Apply?

    If you’re ready to make a difference in the lives of families and work with a legal team that values your contribution, we’d love to hear from you.
