Our mission is to make a positive impact on people's lives by guiding them through emotionally challenging times towards a brighter future.

• You are an amazing scheduler with a sickening degree of attention to detail.
• You are very good with calendars, e-mail, spreadsheets, word processing, and the internet.
• Your middle name is “No Drama.”
• You are an awesome juggler of tasks and can change gears quickly.

• You have a thirst for knowledge and continuously seek ways to enhance efficiency.

This is a full-time in-office position requiring 37-40 hours per week, with occasional overtime needed to meet court deadlines or trial preparations. Initial compensation will be based on experience, with opportunities for performance-based increases.
