About the Position
We are a small, busy law office seeking a dependable, professional, and organized Receptionist / Legal Assistant to join our team.

What We Are Looking For
Because we are a small law office, every team member plays an important role. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their responsibilities, notices what needs to be done, and is comfortable asking questions when they are unsure.
The right person will be someone who is reliable, detail-oriented, personable, and professional, and who takes pride in providing excellent service to clients.
Legal matters can be stressful for clients, so patience, empathy, discretion, and the ability to remain professional in difficult situations are especially important.
