Senior Family Law Paralegal
The Law Office of Emily A. Jones, LLC is a woman-owned, boutique firm specializing in family law and criminal defense. Our firm is small, but actively growing, which presents an ideal opportunity to grow with the firm.
We focus on providing compassionate and client-focused representation, with the highest standard of excellence inside and outside of the courtroom. To accomplish this, we believe it is important that every member of our team is able to focus not only on their career, but on their life outside of the office. We ensure our attorneys and support staff are always treated with the utmost respect and encouraged to maintain a healthy work/life balance.
You’re not expected to work nights, weekends, vacations, or holidays. Ever. Period.
We are a digital-first law firm that focuses on utilizing the latest technology to make your job easier and improve the client experience. Paperless files, document automation, and virtual collaboration are just a few of our cornerstones.
Positions are work from home and highly flexible. With rare exception, you will have the option to work remotely, or in-office as you prefer. Some in-person office meetings and court appearances will be required. However, for general day-to-day work, you will never be expected to be in the office unless you want to be – the choice is entirely yours!
