Paralegal
The Law Office of Care Enichen, LLC, Boulder, CO, United States
The Law Office of Care Enichen is seeking a Paralegal for a busy solo‑practice law firm in downtown Boulder, specializing in criminal defense and family law.
Care Enichen is a highly experienced attorney who worked as a deputy district attorney for seven years and as a county court judge for fifteen years before entering private practice in 2013. Care is a zealous advocate for her clients, and is seeking a Paralegal who will assist her in that advocacy with equal energy and drive.

In this role, you will be helping an attorney make a direct, positive impact in the lives of clients who come to our firm at their most vulnerable.
Description of tasks
Assist with the day‑to‑day work of running a small law practice, including answering calls, client intake, email communication with attorneys and clients, attending client meetings and court appearances with Care, and maintaining both paper and electronic client files.
Office‑management tasks: ensuring that office supplies are appropriately stocked and that the office is organized and presentable.
Billing: responsible for drafting and issuing client invoices at the beginning of each month and communicating with our office bookkeeper.
Requirements

Must live in Boulder or the surrounding area
Willingness to work in‑person 5 days per week in downtown Boulder
