  • Strong knowledge of California state and federal court filing rules, e-filing procedures, and litigation deadlines
  • Exceptional drafting, proofreading, and attention to detail across high document volume
  • Tech-savvy: proficient in Microsoft Office, document management systems, e-filing platforms, and trial presentation technology
  • Ability to multitask, prioritize, and thrive in a fast-paced, demanding environment with minimal supervision
  • Lemon Law or consumer protection experience is a plus

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
