Families in crisis need more than a filing deadline. They need a
practice that treats protection, parenting, and financial
stability as one case—and gets the record right the first time.
This role keeps that work moving: precise documents, steady
client contact, and a courtroom calendar that does not slip. If
you want your drafting and judgment to change outcomes for people
leaving violence, this is the seat.

----------------------
Performance Objectives
----------------------

* Build complete restraining-order, dissolution, and custody
packages—pleadings, declarations, and exhibits—that are
filing-ready and aligned to the attorney’s theory of the case.
* Run intake and follow-up so clients leave with a clear next
step, safety-sensitive facts are captured accurately, and the
file supports urgent relief when time matters.
* Assemble financial disclosures, discovery responses, and
support calculations that hold up under opposing counsel and
judicial scrutiny.
* Prepare hearing binders, witness outlines, and exhibit lists so
the attorney walks into court with a clean, indexed record.
* Own calendaring, e-filing, and service so statutory deadlines
and local rules are met without last-minute rescue.
* Track case status and flag risks—missing facts, conflicting
dates, incomplete service—before they become continuances or
adverse orders.
