Our drafting paralegal (for litigation) had to step back because of personal issues. So we are in desperate need of a paralegal who (1) is good at writing (2) is good at research and (3) already knows the material in mortgage and foreclosure litigation. Hourly rate of pay negotiable with incentives as independent contractor. We do not discriminate on any basis other than merit and the capacity to perform the work remotely. You might be required to have limited contact with the client or the lawyer who has paid for our services. You should be located somewhere in the continental United States.
This position requires the paralegal to work quickly and produce an acceptable draft inasmuch as we expect continued volume. If you are already too busy, please don’t apply. Experience in court procedures, local rules and filing documents is a definite plus.
This position is for litigation and is not for writing QWRs, COTA reports and similar prelitigation tools. We have that covered.
References are required.
You will originate the documents by generating a draft that is complete. It is NOT an opportunity to make money by having me do your work. The work flow is (1) we collect the information and make it available to you (2) we consult and send you the the audio file of the consultation with the client and (3) you do the research and write the original draft of the documents, instructions and suggestions to the client.
A Paralegal Degree, law degree, or certificate would be welcome but is not essential.
Personal experience with foreclosure would be welcome but not essential.
Owning your own computer with current updates of Programs like Word, Pages Excel or numbers is OK. You must own the licenses to the word processing program and the spreadsheet program.
You would be reporting only to me. I provide assistance, guidance and editing. You will have access to our extensive forms database.
If you are a self-starter, taking ownership of tasks, and know when to ask questions please submit a short resume to neilfgarfield@hotmail.com. We will send you an application to fill out and we will schedule a skype interview.
You may include a short statement (no more than 250 words) about your application, but that is not required.
Sincerely
Neil F Garfield
