I'm a Sole Practitioner in Moreno Valley. I'm looking for a entry level paralegal to handle some overflow work on a contract basis.
Most of the overflow is going to be generic civil litigation, but experience or coursework in other areas is useful helpful. You will do most of the Low-Rent, Bread and butter stuff, like managing the file, basic clerical, light civil paralegal, filing out forms for Landlord Tenant, Bankruptcy. Keeping the paper moving forward. but the Clients need it done. Mostly Riverside County Courts, but be ready and able to handle paper for any County.
No experience needed, but pay isn't going to be that impressive. The clients are generally middle class, and I'm trying to get them the most bang for the buck. Tell me what you think you should get paid, understanding, that I have to charge the Clients a multiple of that.
You will be expected to track time honestly to a level of accuracy and specificity needed to support a motion for attorney's fees in front of a Judge. Or to justify fees in front of a Fee Arbitrator. Know how to use basic legal tech, or be prepared to learn real fast. Beyond that, its a remote gig, with most of our meetings being over zoom, and the occasional meeting in person in Moreno Valley. Work is independent contractor 1099, but as long as the projects get done timely, and by Court deadlines do it where it fits in your schedule. Finish whatever project you take and start, reject what you don't want to do, or can't do because of other time commitments.
Send a cover letter & resume digitally, lets talk, and if we click I will ask for a Writing Sample. Don't call or text, just give me the info I need to decide if I want to talk to you. A certificate or Associates in Paralegal/legal studies would be useful,
