Now Hiring: Legal Assistant | The One Family Law | Boca Raton, FL
The One Family Law, a concierge-style family law firm based in Boca Raton, is seeking a dedicated, proactive and detail-oriented Legal Assistant with strong communication skills to join our team.
About the Firm:
The One Family Law is a South Florida family law firm founded on the belief that people in crisis deserve exceptional representation and a genuine support system.
After twenty years practicing alongside partners at an established South Florida family law firm, our founding partner made the decision to build something different: a modern-day, concierge-style family law practice where clients have one trusted place to turn to for both exceptional legal representation and genuine support.
The firm is led by a Florida Bar Board Certified Specialist in Marital and Family and Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers - credentials that reflect the sophistication of the matters we handle and the standard we hold ourselves to.
Why Work at The One Family Law:
We believe that how you treat people matters - clients and colleagues alike. So does a firm's workplace culture and environment. The One Family Law is not your typical law office. It is intentionally designed to put everyone who enters the space at ease, because we know that facing life's most significant challenges requires an environment that supports you through them. At The One Family Law, you feel supported, focused and ready for what comes next.
If you are someone who believes a positive workplace culture is just as important as the work itself, and you want to be part of this innovative, modern-day family law firm that genuinely cares - then you belong at The One Family Law.
About the Role:
You will be a full-time Legal Assistant for the founding partner and an associate attorney. Your responsibilities include:

- Handling potential new client intake calls and running conflict checks.
- Managing your assigned attorneys' calendars and court deadlines.
- Organizing and docketing court documents and discovery.
This is an in-office position based in our midtown Boca Raton office. While we are open to discussing a hybrid arrangement, our preference is for this role to be filled by someone who thrives in and is committed to an in-person, collaborative office environment.

- At least two years of experience as a legal assistant, preferably in family law.
- Familiar with the Florida court e-filing systems.
