Full Job Description

Join a trusted estate planning and elder law practice that puts families first — and treats its team the same way.

This is a small, established practice in Western Stark County, Ohio focused on helping families navigate estate planning, elder law, Medicaid planning, and trust administration. The attorney has served the community for decades with a practical, compassionate approach that clients rely on at life’s most important moments. The paralegal we bring on will be central to all of it — working directly with clients, supporting the attorney, and keeping complex matters moving with accuracy and care.

About the Role

This position offers a hybrid option for candidates who have a genuine need for alternative scheduling arrangements. In-office days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Wednesday is our no-appointment day, used for focused work, one-on-one check-ins with the attorney, and a firm-wide lunch meeting on the first and third Wednesday of each month.

Office hours: Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM (one-hour lunch; office closes at noon on Fridays); Friday, 8:30 AM to noon.

The strongest candidate will bring attention to detail, genuine warmth with elderly clients, and the ability to manage complex Medicaid cases independently once up to speed.

Key Responsibilities

Attend signing appointments with clients for trusts, wills, and powers of attorney
Meet with clients at follow-up appointments to gather information and complete Medicaid applications
Gather, process, assemble, and scan documents for Medicaid application submissions
Work directly with the attorney to complete and file Medicaid applications
Prepare basic documents including powers of attorney and trust drafts

Requirements

Background and experience:

Experience in Medicaid planning or estate planning strongly preferred
Background as a JFS (Job and Family Services) caseworker or similar public benefits role will be considered

Must-haves:

Proficient in Microsoft Word, Adobe, and Outlook; comfortable with scanning
Notary Public, or willing and able to become one (the firm covers all fees)
Must be able to pass a criminal background check
Self-starter who takes ownership and follows through without being managed
Sharp attention to detail — accuracy matters in every document we produce
Must agree to and abide by the firm’s Code of Conduct: professional presentation, communication, and attire at all times
Personal social media conduct must not reflect negatively on this firm
Excel proficiency is a plus but not required

Why This Role Stands Out

Hybrid option available for candidates with genuine alternative scheduling needs
Family-friendly workplace — the firm is happy to work around your household needs
Supportive, small-office environment where your work has direct impact
Meaningful client work — helping families navigate estate planning and Medicaid at some of life’s most important moments
An attorney who invests in her team with strong benefits and a generous retirement match

Benefits

Salary: $58,000 to $62,000, commensurate with experience
Bonus potential
SEP-IRA with employer match up to 6% of salary
Monthly insurance premium reimbursement through a company-sponsored program (individual and family caps apply)
$100,000 life insurance policy with a long-term care rider
11½ paid holidays per year
1 week paid vacation to start, plus a paid day off for your birthday
Notary certification fees covered by the firm

How to Apply

Submit your resume and cover letter for confidential consideration. We will reach out to candidates who are the best fit for the role.

Equal Opportunity Employer

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to a workplace free of discrimination. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law.
