The Job:
This position has a few different primary responsibilities. Roughly 60% of your time will be spent ordering and following up with medical records requests for our clients. 20% of your time will be sending letters of representation and other letters to interested parties. And the other 20% of your time will be tracking down other documents and items needed for us to best represent our clients.
Over time, we hope this hire will grow with the firm. As we expand, there is an opportunity for this position to evolve into a paralegal position, which would come with more compensation and responsibility. As with all of our hires, we hope our new hire will stay with the company for life.
The pay for this position is $40,000 plus firm performance bonuses. The bonuses for this position were $3,000 in 2020, $5,000 in 2021, and $27,000 in 2022. Generally, we believe $5,000-10,000 is the likely bonus range for a full year of work but it all depends on firm profitability. Salary is negotiable if someone has qualifications substantially above the posted requirements but likely will be in the ballpark of what is listed above.
The position includes health insurance through Kaiser with a low deductible and 100% of premiums paid by the Firm, a 401k plan with a 4% matching contribution from the firm, 12 weeks maternity/paternity leave with full pay and an optional addition 4 weeks with 50% pay, firm paid life insurance and long term disability insurance, unlimited paid vacation, and unlimited sick days.
The Firm:
The firm is both energetic and laid back. We don’t have a dress code. We don’t talk to each other super formally. We swear in the office. This is not your typical stuffy law office. We believe in a team-oriented approach where we help each other succeed and where clients come first. We believe that happy employees are the most productive employees. We believe that setting high goals, giving people the training and technology they need to succeed, and explaining why we do things the way we do gets our firm and our clients the best results. But with that comes high expectations. We expect you will do your job well. We expect you will be a team player. We expect you will mesh into the firm culture.
Our firm mission statement is as follows: the mission of Cheney Galluzzi & Howard, LLC is to help people injured through no fault of their own put their lives back together. We accomplish our mission by treating our clients like family and listening to their stories. We fight, in and out of the courtroom, for a safer and more just world.
