Job description
Apricus Paralegal Group is working with a well-established boutique law firm in Forsyth County to find its next perfect paralegal. The firm practices exclusively in plaintiff’s side personal injury, workers’ compensation, and insurance disputes. Attorney is selective about his cases and seeks an intelligent, self-motivated, and proactive paralegal who takes pride in developing relationships with clients while working a small case load. This is not your typical, high-volume plaintiffs’ firm. The firm seeks a litigation paralegal to work on personal injury and insurance disputes, not workers’ compensation claims.
Attorney is AV rated, a “SuperLawyer,” and is listed among the BestLawyers® for Insurance Law, Workers' Compensation Law - Claimants, and Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs. Litigation experience and excellent client communication skills are a must. NCCP or other professional credentials are not required - the firm values demonstrated experience more than certification. The salary range begins at $45,000, and the firm is motivated to pay more for the right match. Generous retirement benefits. If you are a highly organized individual with strong attention to detail and litigation experience in any area, we encourage you to apply for this position. Only qualified candidates will be contacted for an interview.
