Litigation Paralegal (Personal Injury & Real Estate) | Zen Law Firm | Plano, TX (On-Site) About the Firm Zen Law Firm (The Zendeh Del Law Firm, PLLC) is a Texas litigation firm based in Plano. We take cases selectively and work them thoroughly. We are not a high-inventory settlement mill, and we are not looking for someone who wants to move files in bulk. We carry a deliberately limited litigation docket so that every matter gets real attention, and we expect each team member to know their files inside and out. The Role This is a hands-on litigation paralegal position supporting plaintiff-side personal injury and real estate matters from intake through resolution. Working directly with the managing partner, you will keep cases organized and moving: drafting and preparing documents, managing discovery, handling e-filing and deadlines, coordinating records and evidence, and serving as a steady point of contact for clients. This is substantive paralegal work with real responsibility, not data entry. What You'll Do • Draft and prepare pleadings, discovery, correspondence, and document shells for attorney review, • Manage case files, exhibits, and document productions, including organizing large evidence sets, • Handle e-filing in justice, county, district, and federal courts and maintain the litigation calendar and deadlines, • Order, organize, and summarize medical records, billing, and damages documentation on personal injury files, • Coordinate with experts, opposing counsel's offices, court clerks, process servers, and title companies, • Pull and organize property records, deeds, surveys, and title and closing documents on real estate matters, • Communicate with clients on status, document requests, and scheduling, with professionalism and discretion, • Help prepare for depositions, mediations, hearings, and trial What We're Looking For • Paralegal certificate, associate or bachelor's degree, or equivalent, • At least 3 to 5 years of litigation paralegal experience; you should be able to run a file with minimal supervision from day one, • Hands-on experience with the litigation lifecycle, including discovery, e-filing, document production, and trial preparation, • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to juggle multiple active files and firm deadlines, • Proficient with e-filing and case management software, • Strong written and verbal communication, including the judgment to work with clients during difficult moments, • Personal injury, real estate, or construction-litigation experience strongly preferred, • Spanish fluency is a plus, not required Why Join Us This is not a back-room role. You will work directly with a trial lawyer who has actually tried cases to verdict, on cases that regularly put us across the table from some of the largest and best-funded insurance defense firms in Texas. We invest in our team and expect them to grow into the kind of paralegal an attorney trusts to run a file. If you want meaningful work, real client contact, and a firm that measures itself by outcomes rather than file count, this is the right place. Compensation and Benefits • Base salary of $60,000+ per year, with significant upside for a candidate who can step in and run files from day one. The right experience will be compensated appropriately, • Discretionary year-end bonuses, • Paid time off and holidays To Apply Send your resume and a brief cover letter through LinkedIn.
