We are a fast-growing distributed/virtual tenant rights law firm dedicated to changing lives—one tenant at a time.  We help California tenants who have been illegally evicted, discriminated against, harassed, or forced to endure uninhabitable living conditions recover money from their landlords.  

We are looking for a rockstar Paralegal to join the ranks of our Legal Team.

3. Interfacing directly with clients to the extent necessary for purposes of preparing demand letters. 
4. Delivering to the Attorney client-ready demand letters, free of grammar and spelling errors. 
5. Updating matter information in Clio Manage.

4. You expect personal performance to be nothing short of the best. 
5. You are trustworthy, do not cut corners ethically, earn trust and maintain confidences when appropriate, and, most importantly, do what is right, not just what is expedient.

7. You can act without being told what to do and bring new ideas to your supervising attorney. 
8. You develop and nurture productive and professional relationships with clients and staff and are both approachable yet stern when the circumstances require.

10. You work quickly and efficiently. 
11. Your middle name is “No Drama.”
