Legal Receptionist

If you are looking for a fast-paced, positive team environment with professional growth potential, then look no further. Our personal injury Law firm has an immediate full-time opportunity for a superstar Front Office Receptionist... a team player who has excellent administrative and communication skills that wants to be our ambassador of first impressions. This is a fabulous opportunity for someone who wants to be part of an All-Star team.

Our Founding and Managing Attorney is an entrepreneur who is passionate about making each client feel seen, heard and as though their case is our most important one. We need an empathetic Front Receptionist who is mature, caring and wants to ensure the client experience with our Firm is second to none.

We have set our sights on being the “go-to firm” for personal injury Law in the San Joaquin Valley. While we are focused on rapid growth, we are still small enough to care about every team member and client. We need someone who is interested in being with us as we grow and is willing to wear multiple hats until the workload supports hiring additional team members.

Currently, we need someone who can help us take control of the front-end client experience by being the first point of contact with the firm, providing general administrative support and helping us communicate effectively with our clients and potential new clients. Ideally, you will have experience as a Front Receptionist, Secretary or Legal Assistant in a law firm, but we are willing to train the right service-minded office professional. The most important quality you can possess is a great attitude and willingness to roll up your sleeves and help wherever it’s needed.
