About The Position

Paralegals: saving attorneys from drafting motions based on incomplete text rants since forever Family law clients love to communicate at 2:00 a.m., in incoherent text chains, across platforms, on video, during exchanges, and after their hours-long meeting with the attorney. At DM Cantor Family Law Practice, we understand that attorneys are great at arguing, but they rely on paralegals to communicate with the clients, decode the 3 a.m. voicemails, organize the endless screenshots, and keep it all from turning into a complete “dumpster fire.” We know that paralegals are the unsung heroes of family law. While we win, you make it look easy. That is why, at DM Cantor Family Law Practice, our paralegals are an integral part of the team. We treat our paralegals like professionals and value their opinions and expertise. You won’t hear phrases like “because I’m the attorney” or “just draft the motion.” Our paralegals work in tandem with their assigned attorney at the heart of complex custody disputes, financial disclosures, and property division cases- and their work makes a measurable difference for our clients. Our paralegals are supported by a team of administrative assistants who handle calendaring, mail, minute entries, and transmittals, so they can focus on working the case and growing their legal acumen. Paralegals need support, too, and we ensure they are provided with it. DM Cantor Family Law Practice is Arizona’s leading trial-focused family law firm. We handle high-stakes, complex cases that demand creativity, tenacity, and profound legal knowledge. Our team collaborates daily, combining expertise and insight to deliver the best outcomes for clients. We prioritize results over ego, mentorship over hierarchy, and excellence over shortcuts. Our cases challenge us, our team supports one another relentlessly, and our wins are celebrated loudly. At DM Cantor, your work will matter every single day. We want to read about you and why you want to join our firm. Please submit a cover letter. We will not contact you if we do not receive one.

Mentorship: DM Cantor Family Law Practice invests in mentorship and strategy sessions to make you a better paralegal, not a busier one.
