Why You Belong Here

At Family First Legal Group, we truly live our "Family First" philosophy—for our clients and our team. We're not just a workplace; we're a supportive, collaborative environment where your well-being and professional growth is a priority.

• The 4-day Advantage: Our office is closed on Fridays. More details below!
• Flex Day: Celebrate your birthday month with an extra day off.
• Unlimited Sick Time: We prioritize your health and well-being.
• Remote Work Opportunities: Flexibility is key, with hybrid or the potential for a fully remote position for the right candidate (after initial training).
• Comprehensive Benefits: 401(k) with employer matching, health, dental, vision, life and other insurance options.

The 4-Day Advantage

Your core work week runs Monday through Thursday. We encourage focused work during this time so you can truly own your schedule and enjoy a longer weekend.

However, we understand that projects sometimes need a little TLC to ensure a smooth start to the next week. That's where "Flow Friday" comes in:

• No Office Requirement: You are not required to report to the office on Friday.
• Work at Your Pace: You may need to allocate some time—even just an hour or two—on Friday for tasks in order to meet deadlines, handle urgent communications, or prep for Monday.
• Own Your Time: This work is completed on your own schedule. Whether it's 7 AM or 7 PM, we trust you to manage your time and ensure your responsibilities are covered without being "chained to a desk."

This system is built for high performers who are great at time management and value autonomy. If you can consistently deliver excellent work without constant supervision and are excited by the prospect of a mostly free Friday, we encourage you to apply!

• Cloud-based tools like Google Workspace (Drive, Gmail, Calendar)
• Document management using Microsoft Word/Excel and Adobe Acrobat Pro

This position requires excellent communication, superior organizational skills, and a keen attention to detail. We rely on team members who demonstrate independence, dependability, and teamwork to drive results.

• Be the MOST Prepared: We believe thoroughness is our greatest strength.
