Legal Secretary
Crawford Thomas Recruiting, Pasadena, CA, United States
Location: Pasadena, CA (On-Site)
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Employment Type: Full-Time
Salary: $65,000 – $85,000
This is not a typical law firm. The team represents law enforcement and fire personnel—the people who run toward danger when others run away. The work is meaningful, the pace is fast, and the mission is clear: defend those who protect our communities.
We are seeking an experienced Legal Secretary who thrives under pressure, values precision, and wants to be part of something bigger than billable hours.
What You’ll Do
Prepare and file state and federal court pleadings with accuracy and strict adherence to deadlines
Manage attorney calendars using Abacus calendaring system and Microsoft Outlook
Format legal documents, correspondence, and pleadings with professionalism and precision
Coordinate case management, client communications, and administrative operations
Serve as the organizational backbone for attorneys handling active litigation matters
Work collaboratively with paralegals and attorneys in a high-stakes legal environment
What We’re Looking For
Minimum of 2 years of experience as a Legal Secretary (litigation experience strongly preferred)
Experience with family law procedures and documentation
Solid knowledge of California and federal court filing procedures
Proficiency with Abacus and Microsoft Outlook
Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
Ability to manage competing deadlines in a fast-paced practice
Someone who takes pride in supporting those who serve our communities
Why This Role Matters
This is not assembly-line law. Every brief filed, every deadline managed, and every document prepared directly supports officers and firefighters facing career-defining legal challenges. Your work helps protect their ability to continue serving.
You will join a tight‑knit, purpose-driven team in Pasadena where professionalism meets passion and where your contributions are valued and visible.
