About this role
We are a personal injury firm serving Southern Colorado, looking for a Personal Injury Paralegal for our downtown Colorado Springs Office.
This is a pre-litigation role focused on moving cases from intake through settlement, not courtroom or trial support.
The ideal candidate is someone who takes ownership of their work, communicates clearly with clients, and keeps cases moving from intake through settlement.
