Marrs Griebel Law, LTD is seeking a skilled legal assistant to join our fast‑growing team in Albuquerque. This is not a plug‑and‑play, punch‑the‑clock position — we’re looking for someone who takes ownership, drives results, and wants to be recognized and rewarded for the impact they make.

In this role, you’ll manage complex files from initial intake through trial preparation, drafting polished legal documents, keeping cases moving, and serving as a reliable right hand to our attorneys. If you bring strong experience, outstanding organizational and writing skills, and the ability to independently manage a busy caseload, you’ll thrive here.

We value high performers, accountability, and people who work with intention and pride.
