Job Description

Martine Law is one of the fastest-growing criminal defense and family law firms in the U.S. We fight hard, move fast, and don’t tolerate disorganization, delay, or excuses. If you’re the kind of person who thrives in a high-performance, high-pressure legal environment — and can juggle 10 tasks without dropping the ball — we want to talk to you.


We’re looking for a Legal Assistant who’s reliable, detail-obsessed, and thrives under pressure. This is not a passive role. You’re the air traffic controller behind every attorney — scheduling, prepping, organizing, and keeping cases moving forward at full speed.


Must be fluent in English and Spanish
