What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote litigation support role where I can manage calendars and deadlines, handle e-filing and docketing, and support attorneys with strong client intake and communications across fast-moving cases.

I’m a bilingual English-Spanish litigation legal assistant supporting California and Texas law firms, handling matters across lemon law litigation, criminal defense, family law, immigration, and personal injury. I bring hands-on experience with calendaring, e-filing, docket management, legal document preparation, case administration, and clear client communications.

In my recent roles, I’ve managed active litigation caseloads in Filevine and One Legal, maintained litigation deadlines, and prepared and filed legal documents to keep cases moving. I also support collections and billing support, draft and file motions, pleadings, and discovery materials, and conduct legal research, court records retrieval, and client intake to strengthen case readiness.
