Edens Law Group is an established boutique family law firm serving Northern and Central New Jersey from Chester since 1994. We are seeking an experienced Family Law Paralegal who is organized, proactive, calm under pressure, and skilled at helping attorneys and clients move complex matrimonial matters forward. This is not a purely administrative role. The right paralegal will be a trusted member of the legal team with meaningful responsibility for case organization, drafting, client communication, discovery, and trial preparation. Why Join Edens Law Group

• Be treated as a substantive part of the case team—not simply task support.
• Work directly with experienced family law attorneys on matters that require judgment, organization, compassion, and attention to detail.
• Join a boutique firm with an established reputation, a strong client-service focus, and decades of experience in New Jersey family law.
• Build deeper expertise in New Jersey matrimonial procedure, complex discovery, financial issues, and trial preparation.
• Work in a team environment where clear communication, accountability, professionalism, and mutual respect matter. What You'll Do
• Manage the day-to-day organization and progression of assigned family law matters in partnership with attorneys.
• Draft and prepare correspondence, pleadings, certifications, discovery requests and responses, subpoenas, notices, proposed orders, and other case documents for attorney review.
• Prepare and organize New Jersey Case Information Statements and supporting financial documentation.
• Coordinate discovery, document collection, deficiency follow-up, expert materials, and production deadlines.
• Maintain court dates, attorney calendars, filing deadlines, client meetings, mediation dates, and trial-preparation timelines.
• Communicate regularly with clients, opposing counsel, court staff, experts, and vendors with professionalism and discretion.
• Prepare hearing and trial materials, exhibits, witness files, binders, chronologies, and attorney-preparation materials.
• Maintain accurate, organized electronic files and use legal technology and court e-filing systems efficiently.
• Help identify bottlenecks before they become emergencies and keep attorneys informed of deadlines, missing information, and next steps. What We're Looking For
• 3+ years of paralegal experience in New Jersey family/matrimonial law preferred; strong candidates with adjacent NJ litigation experience may be considered.
• Hands-on experience with Case Information Statements, discovery, motion practice, court filings, and family law deadlines.
• Excellent written communication, proofreading, document-management, and organizational skills.
• Ability to handle emotionally charged client interactions with empathy, boundaries, confidentiality, and professionalism.
• Comfort managing multiple active matters and changing priorities without losing track of details.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Excel and comfort learning or using case-management, document-management, and NJ court filing technology.
• A team-oriented mindset: proactive, accountable, receptive to feedback, and willing to communicate early when something needs attention.
