Do you want to work somewhere you can do some good? To work alongside a team and assist trial attorneys in making things right for people who have been injured? This may be the role for you.
Shaheen & Gordon, P.A. is looking for energetic, independent, and detail-oriented full-time Legal Assistants to join our personal injury team in our Dover, NH office. The ideal candidate would have 1-3 years’ law firm experience and be equally comfortable working on their own as with a team.
For our Legal Assistants, every day is different, but the goal is the always same: making things better for clients going through some of the toughest times in their lives. Some days, you’ll be talking to the clients directly, and others, you might be preparing evidence or running documents over to the court. No matter what the day brings, you’ll be working closely with your attorneys and constantly learning with an experienced, supportive team by your side.
