Fonvielle Lewis Messer & McConnaughhay – Paralegal 

Position Summary

We are a plaintiff-side personal injury law firm seeking a smart, dependable, and highly organized paralegal to join our team.

Prior personal injury experience is helpful, but it is not our primary consideration. We are looking for someone with strong judgment, attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and the ability to learn quickly. We have successfully trained people from different legal backgrounds and are willing to invest in the right person.

This is a hands-on position with significant opportunity for growth and responsibility. You will work closely with our attorneys throughout the entire case life, helping manage cases from opening through resolution. The position includes case management, preparation of legal documents, client communication, discovery, deadline management, and coordination with medical providers, experts, opposing counsel, and court personnel.

We do not expect a new team member to know everything on day one. We do expect someone who takes ownership of their work, thinks critically, follows through, asks good questions, and takes pride in getting things right.

The right candidate will be someone who can manage competing priorities without losing track of the details, communicate confidently and professionally, and become someone the attorneys and clients can depend on.

Essential Responsibilities

Case Management

• Maintain accurate, organized, and up-to-date case files in the firm’s case management system (Filevine).
• Monitor case progress and proactively identify upcoming deadlines and action items.
• Coordinate with attorneys, medical providers, opposing counsel, experts, and court personnel as needed.
• Manage an assigned litigation caseload under attorney supervision.

Litigation Support

• Prepare and draft pleadings, discovery requests and responses, subpoenas, notices, correspondence, and other litigation documents.
• Prepare and organize exhibits, medical records, evidence, and other case materials.
• Coordinate document production, discovery responses, and case filings.
• Assist attorneys with preparation for mediations, hearings, depositions, and trial.

Client Communication

• Provide regular case updates while responding to client questions with professionalism, empathy, and clear communication.
• Help clients understand the case progress and gather information needed to advance their cases.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for clients throughout the litigation process.

Deadline & File Management

• Track court deadlines, discovery deadlines, scheduling orders, mediation dates, hearings, and statutes of limitation.
• Maintain accurate and organized files consistent with firm procedures.
• Maintain calendars and work with attorneys to ensure litigation deadlines are met.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Exceptional organization and attention to detail.
• Ability to prioritize competing responsibilities and follow through without constant supervision.
• Sound judgment and willingness to ask questions when appropriate.
• Comfortable learning new systems, procedures, and areas of law.
• Professional and compassionate communication with clients.
• Ability to work effectively in a small, collaborative office environment.

Prior experience in a law office, civil litigation, or personal injury is preferred but not required for an exceptional candidate. Familiarity with Florida court procedures, Filevine, or other case-management software is a plus.

An associate’s degree or paralegal certificate is preferred but not required where a candidate’s education, experience, and abilities otherwise demonstrate a strong fit for the position.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary: $40,000–$50,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package that adds significant value beyond base salary, including:

• 100% employer-paid health insurance for employees
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• Employer-paid Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance
• 10 paid holidays annually
• Generous PTO
• 401(k) with employer match up to 5%
• Profit-sharing program
• Discretionary Bonus

About the Opportunity

We are a small firm, which means good employees are noticed and their contributions matter. This is not a position where you will disappear into a large organization or perform the same narrow task every day. You will work directly with attorneys, learn how cases are developed and litigated, and have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as you demonstrate that you are ready for it.

We are looking for someone who wants more than simply a job to perform — we want someone who takes pride in becoming very good at what they do and wants to become an important part of the team.

Please apply by sending resume and cover letter with salary requirements to michelle@wrongfullyinjured.com
