Idaho Divorce Law Firm is a Boise, Idaho family-law practice. We are hiring a fully remote, English-speaking Legal Assistant based in Mexico to support our active casework. The work is conducted in English; Spanish is welcome but not required.
About the role
The Legal Assistant is the person who keeps the firm's cases organized, deadlines tracked, and clients informed. It is a role of disciplined attention to detail and careful communication — work that matters.
You will work directly with our Boise-based senior attorneys. Your day-to-day focus will be client communication, case calendar management, and case organization through Clio. This role does not involve the practice of U.S. law; all substantive legal work is performed by U.S.-licensed attorneys.
What you will do
- Maintain ongoing communication with active clients by email and phone, in English
- Manage the case calendar: hearings, procedural deadlines, appointments, and reminders
- Organize and maintain electronic case files in Clio
- Coordinate closely with our Boise-based attorneys, operations team, and intake team
- Track procedural deadlines and internal deliverables
- Prepare routine communications and documents under direct attorney supervision
What you bring
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) or international equivalent (e.g., Licenciatura en Derecho) — required
- Prior experience as a legal assistant, paralegal, junior attorney, or comparable role
- Near-native or native English proficiency, written and spoken
- Experience with Clio preferred; familiarity with comparable case-management software acceptable
- Meticulous attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple cases in parallel
- A calm, professional demeanor with people in emotionally difficult moments
- Reliable high-speed internet and a quiet home workspace
- Availability to work Monday–Friday during U.S. Mountain Time business hours (Boise, Idaho time zone)
Compensation
- MXN $30,000–$34,000 per month, depending on experience
- Fully remote, full-time position
- Benefits package to be discussed at offer
To apply
Send the following to [email protected]:
- Résumé (PDF)
- Cover letter (PDF)
- A one-to-two minute introduction video
Cover letter and video should be in English. The video does not need to be polished — recorded on your phone is fine. We use it to get a feel for your spoken English and your communication style.
Applicants that do not follow the application instructions will not be considered.
