Experienced Family Law Paralegal

About the Position

Turco Legal, one of New England's largest family law firms, is seeking a highly experienced Family Law Paralegal to join our growing Providence, Rhode Island practice.

We are looking for a paralegal with at least five years of substantial family law experience, including significant hands-on experience with Rhode Island Family Court matters. Candidates should be thoroughly familiar with Rhode Island Family Court procedures, filings, and practices.

This is a senior-level position, not an entry-level opportunity. The ideal candidate will be capable of independently managing complex paralegal responsibilities, supporting attorneys in active family law litigation, and helping establish efficient procedures and workflows as we expand our Rhode Island practice.

This is an opportunity to play an important role in the growth of an established, collaborative, and highly regarded regional family law firm.

Essential Job Functions

• Draft court filings, including complaints, petitions, motions, affidavits, memoranda, proposed orders and judgments, and marital settlement agreements for attorney review and finalization.
• Prepare discovery requests and responses for attorney review and finalization.
• Work directly with clients to gather, organize, and review financial information, mandatory disclosures, and other discovery materials.
• Assist clients with preparing Rhode Island Family Court financial statements and other required disclosures.
• Draft correspondence to courts, opposing counsel, clients, and other parties for attorney review and finalization.
• Review pleadings, discovery requests and responses, court filings, and correspondence to identify necessary follow-up and prepare additional documents.
• Collaborate with attorneys in evaluating cases, developing litigation strategies, and managing discovery.
• Prepare pleadings and supporting documents in divorce, custody, child support, contempt, modification, guardianship, and other family law proceedings.
• Coordinate hearings, conferences, deadlines, and other case events with courts, attorneys, clients, and opposing counsel.
• Maintain organized case files, track deadlines, and help ensure matters progress efficiently.
• Help develop and refine Rhode Island-specific case management procedures, document templates, filing practices, and workflows to support the continued growth of our Providence practice.

The Ideal Candidate Has

• A minimum of five years of substantial family law paralegal experience, including significant experience handling Rhode Island Family Court matters.
• Extensive familiarity with Rhode Island Family Court procedures, rules, and filing requirements.
• Significant experience preparing divorce and other family law pleadings, financial statements, discovery, and related documents.
• Exceptional organizational and time management skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate effectively and compassionately with clients.
• The ability to independently manage dozens of cases, competing deadlines, and complex assignments.
• Strong attention to detail, sound judgment, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• The initiative and experience to help develop effective procedures and workflows for a growing practice.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and legal case management and billing software.
• A collaborative, team-oriented attitude and a commitment to providing outstanding client service.

What to Expect When Working at Turco Legal

• A practical, pragmatic approach to family law litigation.
• Individual empowerment with the support of a strong, experienced team.
• A collaborative, collegial workplace where people genuinely enjoy working together.
• Ongoing training, mentoring, and professional development.
• Opportunities for career advancement as our firm continues to grow.
• Competitive compensation of $85,000–$115,000 annually, with robust performance incentives.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance, with premiums paid 100% by the firm.
• Extensive vacation time.
