Paralegal
About The Position
We help people regain control over their lives during a family crisis. That work demands people who take it seriously. At Slovensky Law, we hold ourselves to an unusually high standard of responsiveness — with clients, with each other, and with opposing counsel. We tell clients the hard truth about their cases, even when it's not what they want to hear, because informed clients make better decisions. We take every action with a purpose. And we expect the people who work here to operate the same way. If that sounds like the standard you already hold yourself to, keep reading. We're looking for an experienced family law paralegal to join our team in a direct support role for a lead attorney. This is not a position where you'll be managed step by step. You'll own your work — and we'll trust you to.
Requirements
- 3 or more years of family law paralegal experience
- Writes well — correspondence you draft doesn't need to be rewritten
- Genuinely comfortable with technology and actively embraces new tools, including AI
- Can learn new systems quickly
- Has the self-direction to look at a caseload and know what needs to happen next without being told
- Sees a better way of doing something and actually says so
Nice To Haves
- Experience in a litigation-focused environment

Responsibilities
- Drafting petitions, counterclaims, motions, and correspondence to courts and counsel
- Preparing mandatory disclosures — financial affidavits, discovery responses, discovery requests
- Coordinating hearings, depositions, mediations, and trials
- Maintaining organized electronic client files with the kind of attention to detail that means nothing falls through the cracks
- Communicating directly with clients — clearly, honestly, and with appropriate sensitivity
- Capturing billable time accurately every day, not at the end of the week
- Follow-up and follow-through are not soft skills here — they are the job. If deadlines drift or loops don't get closed, this isn't the right fit.
Benefits
- Full benefits package
- Compensation is at or above comparable small firm salaries in the Roanoke market
