What are the responsibilities and job description for the Legal Assistant-Trial Support position at Shegerian & Associates?

When the courtroom lights are on, every exhibit has to land. Every video deposition has to play. Every binder has to be in the attorney's hand the moment they reach for it. The jury never sees the work behind the scenes. They just see a firm that's prepared, polished, and in command. That's because of you.
