Immigration Legal Assistant

We are a rapidly growing law firm located in Coral Springs, and we are looking for an English, and Portuguese-bilingual Immigration Legal Assistant.

If you are looking for a fast-paced and positive team environment with professional growth potential, look no further. Our immigration law firm is growing, and we’re looking for a superstar Legal Assistant... a team player who is a quick learner with strong administrative skills, computer savvy, and wants to be our ambassador of first impressions.

Our founder and managing attorney is an entrepreneur passionate about helping our clients protect their assets and loved ones. We want everyone to have the protection that a carefully crafted estate plan provides, and we need a Legal Assistant who genuinely wants to help people understand the importance of immigration and help them navigate the services we offer. We pride ourselves on helping our clients achieve their goals while providing outstanding client experience.

We have set our sights on being the “go-to firm” for immigration services in Coral Springs, Florida. We are focused on rapid growth but are still small enough to care about every team member and client. We need someone interested in being with us as we grow and willing to wear multiple hats.

We need someone who can help us take control of the front-end client experience by being the first point of contact with the firm, preparing legal documents, and providing general administrative support. Ideally, you will have experience as a Legal Assistant, but we are willing to train the right Administrative Assistant, Secretary, or service-minded office professional. The most important quality you can possess is a great attitude and willingness to roll up your sleeves and help wherever it’s needed.

- You see an opportunity for organization where others see a mess.

- You know your ABCs without singing (and know why that’s important)

- You value doing it right the first time, so proofread your work and double-check the details.

- You know what happens in the office, stays in the office.

- You genuinely care about clients and want to deliver an experience that turns them into a raving fan.

Your basic responsibilities:

- Schedule appointments and manage calendars.

- Prepare legal documents.

- Perform basic administrative tasks – draft documents, copy, scan, file.

- Communicate with potential and existing clients in person, by phone, and email.

- Manage paper and electronic files.

- Back up team members when they need a hand or a day off.

- Maintain practice and client confidentiality.

These items are non-negotiable:

- You must be available to work and be in the office Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

- You must have strong administrative skills and be detail oriented.

- You must be comfortable working with various computer programs and systems.

- You must be reliable, trustworthy, and maintain strict confidentiality.

- You don’t think making coffee or getting our guests a beverage is beneath you.

- You must be a positive, high-energy team player who is results-oriented – No Drama!

- You must care about something and have goals in life.

This position offers a respectful team culture, opportunities for professional development, benefits, and a competitive salary based on skills and experience.
