Litigation Paralegal

$70k - $90k

MUELLER CHRISTENSEN LLP Careers

We are looking for a Paralegal to help guide clients through the perilous paths of probate and trust litigation. If you’re ready to combine your legal expertise with our unique, nerd-friendly, hard-working culture, this is the opportunity for you!
Compensation: $70,000 - $90,000 yearly

Responsibilities: You’ll play a critical role in the firm, supporting our attorneys and working with existing staff in the following areas:
Probate Litigation & Administration
Document Preparation: Draft and file probate judicial council forms, petitions, inventories, will contests, and accountings.
Discovery: Work directly with clients to help gather and manage information about the decedent’s assets and debts.
Communication: Serve as a bridge between beneficiaries, creditors, and court personnel.
Distribution: Assist in distributing assets to beneficiaries (no Rings of Power, though).

Trust Litigation
Legal Research: Conduct research on the Probate Code and relevant case law.
Draft Court Filings: Aid in the preparation of motions, supporting papers, and pleadings for litigation cases.
Case Management: Keep case files organized, indexed, and battle-ready.
Trial Preparation: Assist in preparing for trial, including organizing exhibits and maintaining a strategic edge.

Qualifications: The ideal candidate will have a blend of sharp legal skills and a personality that adds to our team dynamic. Key qualifications include:
Paralegal Certificate.
Competent with legal research tools, case management software, Adobe, and the Microsoft Office Suite.
Experience in preparing and filing judicial council forms.
Proficient in billing and ordinary law firm requirements. Candidates with backgrounds in Family Law, Civil Litigation, or Estate Administration tend to find that the skills translate to Probate and Trust Litigation.

About Company
We are a team of approachable, no-nonsense lawyers dedicated to solving problems and delivering real outcomes. Our practice areas include Probate and Trust Litigation, Business Litigation, and General Liability Defense. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming firm where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work. (Yes, that means your Funko Pop collection and Harry Potter references will fit right in.) We’re grounded, but we also know how to laugh and celebrate our quirks.
