Texas Litigation Virtual Legal Assistant / Paralegal — Dallas, Texas

I am a Texas attorney seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Virtual Legal Assistant / Paralegal to provide ongoing support for a civil litigation practice. The ideal candidate has prior experience working remotely for a Texas law firm and is already familiar with Texas state-court litigation and electronic filing.

This is not a general VA position. Prior legal experience is strongly preferred, and hands-on experience with eFileTexas/Tyler Technologies is a major priority.

Primary Responsibilities

The assistant will help with:

-Filing pleadings, motions, notices, proposed orders, and other documents through eFileTexas/Tyler
-Filing documents in Dallas County courts and other Texas state courts
-Preparing documents and exhibits for electronic filing
-Combining, separating, bookmarking, and organizing PDFs using Adobe Acrobat
-Monitoring filing confirmations, clerk rejections, and accepted filings
-Maintaining and updating electronic service contacts
-Serving documents through the e-filing system when appropriate
-Downloading and organizing pleadings, orders, discovery, and other case materials
-Maintaining electronic case files and folders
-Calendaring hearings, deadlines, depositions, mediations, and other litigation dates
-Preparing routine notices, subpoenas, deposition notices, certificates of service, and similar litigation documents from attorney instructions or templates
-Communicating with court coordinators, clerks, process servers, court reporters, and other vendors regarding administrative matters
-Assisting with discovery organization and document production
-Performing other litigation-support and administrative tasks as needed
