Litigation Paralegal

Waymark HR Group is hiring a Paralegal on behalf of an established estate planning, probate, and estate administration law firm in Buffalo, NY. This is a hands-on seat working directly with the firm's attorneys — you'll carry files, not just organize them. No prior law firm experience required. This firm would rather teach someone the right way than untrain bad habits — a strong work ethic and sharp thinking matter more than a paralegal certificate. What you'll do: Support estate administration and probate matters from filing through closing, including Surrogate's Court petitions and accountings Assist with estate planning documents — wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare proxies Coordinate client signings, including occasional local visits to homes or care facilities Manage deadlines and filings across multiple attorneys' active caseloads Work directly with the firm's attorneys day to day — this isn't a role buried three layers down What we're looking for: Self-directed — comfortable managing your own workload without being micromanaged A thinker, not just a task-follower — you understand why a step matters, not just that it's next Organized enough to juggle several attorneys' files without dropping a deadline Bonus if you have exposure to NYSCEF, e-filing systems, or Smokeball — not required, and the firm will train it What's offered: $55,000–$65,000 base salary, with a formal 90-day review Health and dental insurance fully paid by the firm — for you and your spouse Simple IRA with a 3% company match after one year 15 days PTO in year one, unlimited PTO after that A small firm where you'll know everyone, questions are welcome, and the door is genuinely open #J-18808-Ljbffr
