Family Law Paralegal

Job Description

Job Description

Compensation: $28 per hour, plus quarterly performance bonuses of up to $12,000 per year based on clear, measurable, and attainable KPIs, health insurance, 401(k) match, and optional dental and vision coverage.

The Abeel Firm PLLC is a growing divorce and family law firm in Williamsville, New York. We help clients move from chaos and conflict toward clarity, stability, and forward momentum through calm professionalism, disciplined strategy, and strong advocacy.

We are hiring an experienced  Family Law Paralegal who wants to do meaningful work in a professional, high-standard environment where their contribution matters.

This is not a “just keep up” role. It is an opportunity to become a key part of a growing firm that is intentionally building strong systems, clear workflows, and a better way of serving family law clients. You will work closely with the attorneys, help keep cases moving, support clients through difficult transitions, and play an important role in building a firm that is organized, credible, and built to last.

If you are a strong family law paralegal who takes pride in being organized, dependable, proactive, and steady under pressure, this could be an excellent fit.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Meaningful work: Your work will directly help people through some of the hardest moments of their lives.
• A calm, professional environment: We value professionalism, maturity, and strategy over chaos, drama, and emotional escalation.
• The chance to help build something: This is an opportunity to contribute to a growing firm where your ideas, judgment, and systems mindset will matter.
• Clear expectations and high standards: We believe good people do their best work in an environment with structure, accountability, and a shared playbook.
• Room to grow with the firm: We are building for the long term and want people who want to grow with us over time.

$28 per hour plus performance bonuses

• Manage family law case files from intake through resolution, keeping matters organized and moving forward
• Draft legal documents, including net worth statements, correspondence, stipulations, and uncontested divorce packets
• Handle e-filing through EDDS and NYSCEF
• Organize client documents, financial records, and case-related information
• Track court dates, deadlines, adjournments, and next steps across active matters
• Communicate professionally with clients, courts, opposing counsel, and third parties
• Help prepare files and materials, so matters are ready for conferences, hearings, and next steps
• Identify ways to improve workflows, checklists, templates, and internal systems to support consistent, high-quality work

• 2+ years of family law paralegal experience strongly preferred
• Experience managing case files and drafting documents in an active legal practice
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines reliably and work independently
• Calm, professional, and effective communication skills
• A proactive mindset: you notice what needs to happen next and help keep matters moving
• Comfort with timekeeping, accountability, and structured workflows
• Experience with tools such as Adobe Acrobat, Clio, Filevine, Asana, or similar cloud-based systems is a plus

Compensation

• $28 per hour
• Performance bonuses
• Health insurance
• 401(k) match
• Optional dental and vision coverage
