Administrative Assistant

This job is not for everyone.

We are a high-volume, fast-moving criminal defense firm. Deadlines are non-negotiable. Clients are under stress. Attorneys expect results. We are hiring serious professionals who can operate under pressure, think ahead, and execute with little to no oversight. Someone who wants to take control of their career while also being a critical member of a fast-growing law practice.

If you want a quiet office, rigid boundaries, or a role where you only do what’s written on a checklist, do not apply.
