Seeking: Part-Time to Full-Time Administrative Assistant — Law Firm

Braden Blumenstiel Legal Advocates Group, LLC | Worthington, OH

Are you in paralegal school and want to learn litigation from the inside or do you have at least three years of experience working as an Administrative Assistant or Paralegal in a litigation law firm? Braden Blumenstiel Legal Advocates Group, LLC, a growing Ohio law firm in Worthington (150 East Wilson Bridge Road), is seeking a part-time (or potentially full-time) Administrative Assistant or Paralegal who wants more than a desk job — someone who wants to learn how litigation actually works while building a career focused on helping people in need.

Why This Job Is Different

You won't just be filing and answering phone calls. You'll work alongside an experienced attorney and paralegal on real cases and learn the litigation process start to finish — from intake and investigation to pleadings, discovery, demands, and trial preparation. This is a hands-on education in civil litigation, and we'll teach you.

Areas of Law You'll Learn About

●       Personal Injury — Auto accidents, premises liability, dog bites, product liability, and nursing home negligence cases.

●       Vaccine Injury (VICP) — Federal Vaccine Act claims before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for individuals harmed by vaccines, or who need vaccine exemptions.

●       Probate Litigation — Will contests, trust contests, breach of fiduciary duty, and estate disputes.

●       Business Litigation — Breach of contract, business fraud, tortious interference, and non-compete disputes.

What You'll Do

●       Open and manage case files in our case-management platform (FileVine)

●       Monitor our cases and track and input case-related deadlines into our calendar to ensure no deadlines are ever missed and our cases are worked up as efficiently and effectively as possible.

●       Oversee and manage Potential New Client (PNC) intake (through LeadDOcket), client communications, and scheduling

●       Obtain and organize medical records, evidence, and discovery documents

●       Interview witnesses

●       Assist with marketing efforts

●       Review and summarize medical records — much of our work is medical in nature, so this is a core skill you'll build or improve upon here

●       Obtain, review, and summarize special damages — medical bills, lost wages, out-of-pocket expenses, and liens

●       Draft the damages portions of settlement demands

●       Draft correspondence and assist with demand letters and pleadings

●       Draft simple case pleadings and discovery requests

●       Support attorneys and paralegals through every stage of litigation

●       Learn legal research, document review, and trial preparation

●       Learn how to use AI tools to help us maximize efficiency and get better results for our clients — we're a tech-forward firm. Familiarity with, and genuine desire to more learn about, AI and other technological tools which help us improve our legal services is a significant plus.

Who We're Looking For

●       Someone currently enrolled in (or recently graduated from) a paralegal program or someone with at least three years working as an Administrative Assistant or Paralegal for a litigation law firm. If you do not have litigation-related education, training, and/or experience, this position is not a good fit for you.

●       Experience reviewing and summarizing medical records is not required, but it is a great skill set for this position — if you have it, tell us.

●       Strong organizational skills and great attention to detail. You will be expected to monitor and manage a caseload of about 100 cases (using FileVine and LegalBoards) as well as oversee all potential clients who contact the firm (using LeadDocket).

●       Professional written and verbal communication and the ability to communicate with your clients and potential clients of the firm.

●       Someone who is Trustworthy, Hard-working, Responsible, Effective, Adaptable, and Dedicated.

●       Is familiar with case-management software (especially FileVine, LeadDocket, LegalBoards, etc.) and AI (e.g., Marblism).

●       A genuine interest in a career in a long-term litigation career.

●       Medical knowledge (including how vaccines can cause adverse reactions) and a desire to apply your medication knowledge to help people who have been injured due to no fault of their own is a significant plus.

Hours & Growth Potential

Depending on the applicant’s skillset, this is a part-time position at our Worthington office which can be full-time for the right person. For a part-time position, there is some flexibility in terms of the hours you work each day. The position will start as our Administrative Assistant. However, it can develop into a full-time Paralegal position if the fit is right and you help us grow.
