The Law Office of Lena A. Clark is seeking a detail-oriented go-getter and a problem-solver for a position as a Probate Paralegal for our busy Estate Planning and Probate law firm. We are a small law firm and looking for a candidate who has a great deal of attention to detail, good spelling/grammar, ability to follow specific instructions, and can figure things out with minimal hand-holding.  

Some of your responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Draft Probate Accounting;
• Work directly with clients to gather missing information;

Who are we looking for? Someone sees themselves doing this type of job long-term with an opportunity to grow. This can be a full-time position at the office, but candidates available for part-time or remote availability are encouraged to apply.

You are welcome to apply here but this is how you can immediately stand out from the crowd:

Prepare a cover letter with no more than TWO paragraphs and a closing sentence. In the first paragraph describe your paralegal/other office experience and how technologically savvy you are (especially with Apple products). In the second paragraph, explain your ties to your local area, and where you see yourself in 5 years. As a closing sentence, please write, “I have read the instructions contained in the job posting and have followed the instructions.”

• Email your resume and cover letter in PDF format to admin at lenaclarklegal dot com. The subject line of the email should be your last name (all caps), followed by the position you are applying for in lower case, followed by one word that you would use to describe yourself in all-caps (for example, SMITH probate paralegal AWESOME).
