A DAY IN THE LIFE AS A DRAFTING & APPLICATION PARALEGAL

As a Drafting & Application Paralegal, you are the backbone to our elder care law firm’s “emergency planning” cases. Thanks to the robust initial and ongoing training that we provide, you are able to provide our attorneys with the data and documentation needed to fast track urgent cases. You work diligently behind the scenes and take ownership of your cases from start to finish. You’ll be gathering hundreds of pages of documentation to assemble Medicaid and/or VA applications, and drafting and reviewing legal documents.

Your tenacity, creative problem solving, and excellent communication skills enable you to handle day-to-day communication with government agencies, whether it be a Job and Family Services case worker or a state hearing.

Your knack for organization, attention to detail and high sense of urgency also help you excel in this position as you obtain government benefits in a timely manner, keep on top of necessary communications for each case, meet deadlines, and keep files accurate and up-to-date. You have a can-do attitude and thrive in our dynamic, fast-paced environment!
