Dead Serious About Your Career? So Are We — Join DM Cantor Estate and Probate Practice, Arizona’s Top Estate and Probate Legal Team
At DM Cantor Estate and Probate Practice, we understand that everyone dies — but not everyone plans for it. While most people avoid thinking about death, we don’t shy away from the end. We prepare for it. We help families protect legacies, navigate loss, and manage high-stakes details when clarity matters most.

Behind every seamless client experience and well-run legal practice is someone like you: organized, reliable, proactive, and calm under pressure. We are looking for a full-time Administrative Assistant who thrives on keeping things running smoothly, supporting attorneys and staff, and being the steady backbone of a sophisticated Estate and Probate practice. This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in precision, communication, and follow-through — and who wants to grow with a nationally recognized firm where their contributions truly matter.
