If you enjoy taking on responsibility, are exceptionally organized, work well independently, and genuinely like serving people, this position might be a great fit.

About Us

Our Clients
Our typical client is 50 or older, often a grandparent, and retired or nearing retirement. They rightfully expect a high level of personal attention, responsive service, and real expertise. We work to build lasting relationships so we understand their goals and the legacy they want to protect.

The Position
We are seeking a full-time paralegal for our Jackson office. This is a client-facing, high-volume role for someone who is independent, organized, and a self-starter while also being a strong part of a larger team. You will work closely with our attorneys and staff across offices.

Estate planning and probate experience is preferred, but if your background is in another area, don’t let that stop you from applying. We take the time to train you fully and make sure you know the material.
