Workers Compensation Legal Assistant (Bilingual)

Workers Compensation Legal Assistant

WHO WE ARE

We do work that matters. What we do affects workers and their families.

We also love BBQ, Apple Computers, and Justice.

We are one of Colorado's top award-winning law firms that helps injured and disabled workers.

We are a busy, stable, and debt-free office. This is a fast-paced, high-volume practice that requires attention-to-detail, ability to multitask, prioritize, and evaluate different - often shifting - deadlines and priorities.

We take our work seriously. We’re well aware that what we do on a daily basis changes the lives of injured workers and their families. This is work that matters.

We also take family seriously. When it’s time to go home, we go home.
