Phoenix-based hybrid (2–3 days in office), remote considered for the right candidate.
About the Role
You'll be a key player in keeping probate, guardianship/conservatorship, and trust files moving, from opening through closing, across both contested and non-contested matters. You'll work closely with our attorneys to draft high-quality probate documents, manage deadlines, keep files organized, and communicate clearly with clients, beneficiaries, courts, and counsel. Experienced paralegals who can run a matter end to end will have the opportunity to serve as Case Manager on their own caseload.
We're a paperless firm that runs on Clio, Box, and document automation, and we lean into technology (including AI tools) to work efficiently. You should be very comfortable learning and working across these systems.

Professional growth: work alongside an experienced lead attorney and a talented team, with a path to case-management responsibility.
Impactful work: help families navigate some of their hardest moments with real expertise.
