Legal Assistant – No Law Firm Experience Required | Will Train | Hybrid
Oliver Law Office – Dublin, OH (Hybrid)
Full-Time | $23–$25/hour
Personal Injury · Wrongful Death · Product Liability · Mass Torts
Are you the person who notices the typo everyone else missed?
Do you return the message, finish the follow-up, and make sure something actually got done instead of assuming somebody else handled it?
Do you like technology, want to learn how to use AI well, and enjoy figuring out a better way to do things?
You do not need law firm experience. We can teach you the legal part.
We are looking for someone who is smart, organized, dependable, comfortable with technology, and genuinely good at communicating with people.
If that sounds like you, you may be the Legal Assistant we are looking for.
Why Oliver Law Office?
Oliver Law Office is a rapidly growing, award-winning, woman-led Personal Injury & Wrongful Death trial firm headquartered in Dublin, Ohio.
Founded in 2000 by CEO Jami S. Oliver, our mission is to provide an exceptional client experience through unparalleled communication and unrelenting advocacy.
We handle serious personal injury, wrongful death, trucking, defective product, medical negligence, and mass tort cases.
Our clients are often going through one of the hardest periods of their lives. That means every telephone call, email, deadline, document, and follow-up matters.
The Role
Our Legal Assistant helps keep the details moving so our attorneys and paralegals can focus on moving the cases forward.
Your work will include:
- Reviewing, sorting, scanning, labeling, and routing incoming mail and documents
- Preparing routine letters and correspondence from firm templates

- Entering and updating information accurately in our case-management systems
- Opening medical lien and reimbursement claims online and following up for timely updates
- Checking court dockets daily
- Calendaring docket activity and deadlines according to firm procedures
- Monitoring service of process on filed cases
- Answering and assisting with incoming telephone calls
- Serving as backup to our Intake Team when needed
- Returning telephone messages for attorneys and paralegals
- Texting and emailing clients with routine case updates
- Keeping electronic files organized and current
- Using our technology, automation, and approved AI tools to make the work faster and better—while knowing that AI-generated work still has to be checked by a human
What We Are Looking For
Required:
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Excellent spelling, grammar, and proofreading
- Strong attention to detail
- Organization and follow-through
- Professionalism and good judgment

- Experience with Microsoft 365 or other cloud-based business software
Prior law firm experience is NOT required.
We are willing to teach someone who brings the right fundamentals to the job.
