What are the responsibilities and job description for the Legal Assistant position at Law Offices of Marc D. Roberts?
Our Fall River Law Office is Seeking a Part-Time Assistant
This is an entry-level position and we will train you to complete the necessary tasks. The schedule would be two to three days a week, 6 to 8 hours a day based upon the needs of the business and the availability of the assistant. There is some flexibility especially once the individual is sufficiently trained. The days of the week may vary week to week but will always be between Monday and Friday during normal business hours. For an exceptional candidate who exceeds the minimum qualifications, we may be able to make the working hours solely during school hours for a parent who wishes to return to the workforce but needs to be home for the children outside of school hours. We recognize work life balance.

§ High school diploma or equivalent
§ Valid driver’s license
§ Strong communication skills, both oral and written
§ Strong desire to learn and be helpful

The individual would be trained to perform additional duties as well. Law Office or general office work experience is preferred but not required. The individual must be a team player and willing to help out in any reasonable way, i.e. walk the office dog. This is a small yet extremely busy law practice with two full-time attorneys. The individual must be self-motivated and finish tasks within a reasonable period of time.
