What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote role where I can support plaintiff-side pre-litigation and litigation work—managing matters, preparing documents, tracking deadlines, and communicating clearly in Spanish and English while maintaining organized, audit-ready case files.

I’m a detail-oriented bilingual paralegal supporting plaintiff-side personal injury and employment law matters for U.S. law firms in remote environments. I focus on keeping case files accurate, deadlines tracked, and legal work production-ready in both English and Spanish.

In my current pre-litigation role, I create and maintain matters in Clio, ensuring notes, tasks, and documents stay current. I manage document storage and organization in shared drives and assist with records requests, formatting, and revisions for case documents.

Previously, I supported litigation through client communication, calendaring, deadline tracking, and discovery assistance. I also helped with investigations, coverage review, and liability-related tasks, while maintaining organized records and timely follow-up on active matters.

I’ve further supported case progress as a litigation and reductions legal assistant, handling reductions after settlement for personal injury matters, negotiating medical bills and liens, and coordinating with providers and clients about settlement steps. I bring structured workflows, strong legal documentation skills, and calm communication to every stage of a case.
