Job Description
This is not your regular legal office assistant job.
If you are looking for a role where you wait to be told what to do, this is not for you.
If you want to own cases, think like a lawyer, and become indispensable to a growing firm, then you should keep reading.
About Us
We are a high-performance law firm with a strong reputation and high standards.
We are growing, and we are selective about who we bring in to help us.
We do not rush matters and do whatever it takes to get the job done right for clients.
Our Core Values:
- Relentless excellence
- Professional candor
- Unimpeachable character
If these values do not resonate with you, this is not the right fit.
What You’ll Do
You will be the operational backbone of the firm, ensuring cases move forward without constant oversight while working directly with clients and staff.
This means you will:
- Manage cases from intake through resolution
- Track deadlines, filings, hearings, and follow-ups
- Communicate with clients, court staff, professionals, and opposing counsel.
- Prepare and organize legal documents and filings
- Answer and handle inbound calls with professionalism
- Identify issues early and address them before they escalate
Our systems are organized and deliberate.
But when things shift, or fires happen (as they sometimes do), you stay composed and keep everything on track.
What We’re Looking For
Someone who:
- Has experience in a law office or court system
- Understands how cases actually progress from start to finish
- Is organized, proactive, and detail-oriented
- Communicate clearly and confidently
- Takes ownership without waiting to be told
- Understands and can help attorneys stay on track
Bonus Points:
- Courtroom clerk experience
- Criminal defense or litigation background
- Experience managing cases independently
This Role Is NOT For You If:
- Have zero experience
- You need constant direction
- You wait for tasks instead of understanding next steps and owning outcomes
- You struggle communicating with clients, team members, or other professionals
- You’ve only done basic administrative work without understanding the case flow
What You Get
- $70,000 – $90,000 (depending on experience)
- Real responsibility from day one
- A key role inside a respected and growing firm
- Opportunity to grow into a high-level contributor
Final Note
We are not looking for someone to “assist.”
We are looking for someone we would trust to keep cases moving and the office operating at a high level without constant direction.
If that’s you, apply.

About Company
We’re not a big, bloated law firm where clients get lost in the system.
Geller Law is a criminal defense firm built on experience, judgment, and results.
We handle high-stakes cases ranging from high-profile cases, domestic violence, DUIs, drug cases, theft, sex offenses, and other serious matters where the outcome actually matters.
We keep our team small on purpose.
That means:
- Every case gets real attention
- Every client actually matters
- And the people here are expected to operate at a high level
This is a place where the work is serious, the standards are high, and the expectation is that you know what you’re doing or you figure it out quickly.
If that’s the kind of environment you want to be in, you’ll fit in here.
