Paralegal

Job Description

Flexibility to be remote, but must have experience in the state of Washington. If you're comfortable working in the Superior Courts in King County, Pierce County, Thurston County, or Snohomish County, that's a bonus.

Truce Law is looking for a family law paralegal with a minimum of 5 years of paralegal experience in the state of Washington to join our legal team. Our ideal paralegal is organized, detail-oriented, and ready to play an important role on our legal team. You'll draft legal documents such as declarations, prepare briefs, conduct legal research for hearing preparation, and keep case files and other important information neatly organized and easily accessible. If you're interested in advancing your paralegal career with growth opportunities, we want to hear from you.

Our law firm sets itself apart by marketing to clients who are looking for amicable and collaborative approaches to divorce, with contested divorce cases being the exception at our firm. If you want to spend more time with clients who are interested in settling their divorce peacefully through negotiation, Truce Law is the place for you. As a remote family law attorney at our firm, you’ll work with legal mentors who have decades of experience helping clients negotiate difficult divorce challenges, while also playing a leadership role on a team committed to helping families achieve faster results by resolving legal issues with less conflict, and less litigation. Clients want to negotiate healthier co-parenting arrangements for their families and hire us because they don’t want to go to court. We are looking for a team player who loves creative problem-solving and who wants to help couples and families move forward using conflict resolution rather than an adversarial approach.

Our team loves working for Truce Law because of our relaxed atmosphere, and our focus on collaborative law, which means our attorneys aren’t regularly facing the kinds of higher conflict cases (and the associated stress involved). Our mentors are committed to nurturing your progress and development as a family lawyer within our firm. We even have sponsored employees, so they could begin the Rule 6 program ( Finally, we have a diverse staff from around the world with quarterly events, both online and in person, to bring the team together.

Founded on February 14, 2018, Truce Law was built on the belief that divorce and family law matters don’t have to be combative. Our focus is on collaborative, low-conflict solutions, helping families navigate legal challenges with less litigation and more resolution.

The public often views divorce through the dramatic lens of pop culture and high-profile cases, leading to fear and misinformation. Our mission is to change that narrative—educating the public about amicable divorce options and making collaboration the first choice rather than the exception.

Our vision is simple: To be the leading firm people turn to when facing family challenges. If you’re ready to help us build a more compassionate approach to family law while growing a thriving business, we’d love to meet you!
