Hancock Law Firm is hiring! We’re looking to hire an experienced Adoption & Family Law Paralegal immediately.

See full job description below:

Hancock Law Firm is a St. Petersburg, Florida law firm that focuses on Adoption & Family Law.

We are looking for a skilled professional. This is not a training position. Applicants must have significant experience in family law as a paralegal and have knowledge of local procedures. Adoption experience is preferred, but, as we are aware that Adoption focused law firms are less prevalent in the area, we will train our new paralegal in adoption.

The successful candidate will have a well-rounded knowledge of all duties required in a family law practice. You must be reliable and be able to independently ensure the completion of mandatory disclosure, routine case flow, file preparation and organization, organizing and preparing trial exhibits. You will not be responsible for managing the calendar, but you must monitor task assignments and the calendar for upcoming needs. Our firm is busy, so applicants must be ready to jump in.

We are a small and close- knit group. Our office is both casual and professional. You will be working with a legal assistant and an attorney.

We are an organized firm with detailed policies and procedures and a code of ethics to guide you. We use Clio for case management and google calendar to manage our schedule.

We are open to filling this position with a full time employee, two part time employees, an in office employee, a remote 1099 contract paralegal, or a hybrid remote/in office employee or 1099 contract paralegal. Depending on the preference of the successful candidate, we will discuss hiring as an employee or independent contract position.

Send your resume and statement of interest to Autumn@HancockLawFL.com. All inquiries will be kept strictly confidential. Your application, name, and any submitted info will be kept secure and not shared.

Pay: Very Competitive Compensation, depends on experience and employment status (independent contractor vs. employee)

Benefits for Employees: Paid Time Off, Holiday Pay, Bereavement Leave, Religious Observance Leave, Insurance Benefits Available

We are delighted to share in this very special day for this wonderful family. Four lives were forever changed in this moment. Adoption isn’t always easy but it’s always worth it!

We are so honored that this wonderful family entrusted us with their family. Congratulations!

Grandparents are often the unsung heroes of adoption. When a child’s parents are unable to care for them, grandparents step up to provide a loving home and stability. Grandparent adoption is a beautiful testament to the power of family and the strength of love. Let’s celebrate and honor all the grandparents who have opened their hearts and homes to raise their grandchildren, and recognize the unique challenges and rewards of grandparent adoption.

International adoption is a beautiful opportunity to provide a loving home to a child from another part of the world. While the process can be complex, the reward of giving a child a new life and family is immeasurable. It’s important to approach international adoption with an open mind and heart, respecting the child’s culture and heritage. At Hancock Law Firm, we continue to support and advocate for ethical and responsible international adoption practices, and celebrate the diverse families created through this incredible journey.
