    A trendy, growing, education-based plaintiff personal injury firm is seeking an experienced Spanish-speaking intake legal assistant to join their growing team.


    Prior personal injury intake experience is a must-have. Please do not apply without it.


    Responsibilities of Role:

    Will be responsible for intake only, not comprehensive case management.

    o  About 4.5 hour of phone time per day.

    o  50 outbound calls per day, sometimes the same person, just trying different phone numbers/area codes.

    o  AI helps with outbound dialing.

    o  Filling out forms with clients.

    o  Screening clients to make sure they are a good fit (discussing the injury, assessing the potential case).

    o  Sending out e-retainers

    o  Once the retainer is signed, it’s done – they don’t set up treatment or handle client throughout.

     

    Details of Role:

    ·      Hours: Ideally 10am-7pm but not set on that (intake hours are 7am to 9pm). One Saturday every 6 weeks; you’ll know far in advance. And day off during the week because of that.

    ·      Profile that would be a fit:

    o  Nobody from a low-volume shop

    o  Nobody who wants to be a paralegal; this is an intake role

    o  Someone comfortable being on the phone

    o  Someone who understands the necessity of building rapport with clients, understanding the injury, sassing out the case.


    Perks of Company:

    ·      “We take our time training, we want people to be here for a long time!” – Managing Partner

    ·      They have a suite at the Honda Center and regularly go watch the Ducks play. People hang out outside of work!

    ·      Lunches as a team most weeks, whether it’s a potluck, lunch & learn, catered, etc.

    ·      Trendy office: cool mood lighting, multiple bars, lots of plants, meditation/rest room with blankets to take naps on your break, fancy espresso machine, and dogs welcome (they stay in their attorney’s offices generally, though).

    ·      Casual office dress, most people wear jeans. They believe people should be comfortable at work.

    ·      This role is not just a cog in a machine. “Intake is the gas line that makes everything go!”

    ·      Unlike some plaintiff PI firms, “our approach is educational based. We say, here is what an attorney can do for you, here’s how we can help: with PT, doctors, insurance etc.” – Managing Partner

    • 3 - 5 years of PI experience (not employment/mass torts/ worker comp/family law). Sorry, this firm will not entertain 1-2 years of PI experience.
    • Experience in a high-volume setting (firm signing at least 30 people a month)
    • Spanish speaker (reading and writing is a plus, not a must-have)
    • Comfortable with outbound calling

    ^ These are must-have requirements; please do not apply without them! Compensation is based upon fluency with these tasks.
