Paralegal

We are growing fast and need someone who can hit the ground running. You will help clients protect what is most important to them – their loved ones, their care, and their hard-earned assets with estate administration including probates, and with Medicaid applications. You will help them sail more smoothly through difficult times such as the death of a loved one or running out of money paying for long-term care. The ability to relate to clients, county and court personnel, and team members - including supervision, is critical. We are always learning and improving our systems so having a growth mindset is important. If you’re excited about the possibility of joining a team dedicated to a cause greater than itself and committed to optimizing performance without compromising service, you may have found your new home.
