Now Hiring: Legal Assistant (In-Office)

Location: Charleston, SC

Are you the type of person who color-codes their calendar, proofreads texts before hitting send, and secretly gets a thrill out of checking things off a to-do list? If so, we need you on our team!

At  Sarji Law Firm , we don’t just practice family law—we guide people through one of the hardest chapters of their lives with compassion, empathy, and fierce advocacy. Our attorneys may do the arguing in court, but behind the scenes, it’s our  Legal Assistants who keep the ship afloat. (Think of yourself as the air traffic controller of our office—keeping everything running smoothly, on time, and in order.)

What We’re Looking For

• Prior legal assistant or executive assistant experience (family law experience = extra gold star).
• A master organizer who can juggle deadlines, emails, and case files without breaking a sweat.
• Emotional intelligence and empathy—you’ll often be talking to people going through tough times.
• Familiarity with case management software like MyCase or Clio.
• Someone who takes pride in being reliable, resourceful, and a team player.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• You’ll be part of a close-knit, supportive team that values professionalism  and personality.
• Your role is central—without you, the legal machine grinds to a halt. (No pressure. Okay, maybe a little pressure.)
• A chance to make a real difference in people’s lives while working in a collaborative, respectful environment.

If you’re ready to join a team where your organizational superpowers are celebrated—and where teamwork really does make the dream work—we’d love to meet you.

  Apply today and help us keep justice (and our office) running smoothly!

$46,500 - $50,500 yearly

What You’ll Do

• Draft and proofread legal documents (typos, beware).
• Keep our case files so organized that Marie Kondo would be proud.
• Schedule hearings, mediations, and meetings—because attorneys + scheduling = chaos.
• Be the friendly, professional voice clients, court staff, and opposing counsel can rely on.
• Notarize documents, wrangle deadlines, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
• Support our attorneys and paralegals so they can focus on lawyering while you handle the details.
• Keep Attorney Sarji’s email inbox from becoming a black hole (a heroic feat, we promise).

• Ability to timely and professionally communicate with clients, other attorneys and their staff, and court personnel.
• Ability to track both billable and non-billable time in 0.1 increments on a daily basis.
• Strong organizational skills.
• Ability to support attorneys and paralegals in ensuring that case milestones and deadlines are met.
• Attention to detail.
• Ability to assist with gathering case-related information such as court records, background details, or public filings as requested.
• Ability to assist clients with completing forms, financial disclosures, and other required documentation under attorney or paralegal supervision.
• Ability to open, sort, and distribute incoming mail; prepare and send outgoing mail, including traveling to the Post Office to process certified mailings.
• Ability to maintain a clean, organized, and professional office environment, including common areas and workspaces.
• Ability to travel to miscellaneous locations as needed to retrieve necessary documents for cases or to drop off case-related documents.

Education & Experience Requested

• Prior legal assistant or executive assistant experience preferred.
• Prior family law experience preferred.
• Education and/or work experience equivalent to an associate’s degree.
• Experience with MyCase, Clio, or similar case management software.
• Must be highly organized and detail-oriented.
• Emotional intelligence and an empathetic communication style will serve you well, as many of the clients are going through one of, if not the, hardest times of their lives.

At our firm, we believe every person deserves respect, compassion, and excellent legal representation when their family, children, or future is at stake. We are a drama-free, excellence-driven team that changes lives every day, and your role will be at the very heart of that mission.

• Competitive compensation package with opportunities for performance-based bonuses.
• A collaborative, supportive team culture that values kindness and integrity.
• Meaningful work — you’ll be changing lives every day by helping us to help people take their first step toward a better future.
• Career growth opportunities in a firm that is expanding and values excellence.
