Paralegal

As a paralegal with Pressler & Pressler, you will be involved in every aspect of the legal process from the moment a case enters into litigation to the moment it comes to close.

Every paralegal has a heavy caseload within the team, and each situation brings a new challenge. We are looking for someone who can think on their feet and be confident in their decisions. We need someone who can negotiate over the phone and represent our client to the utmost of their ability.

Skip Tracer

Our Asset Location department is designed to gather information about our defendants through a variety of means such as analyzing credit reports, case files, and online databases. They use their analytical skills to retrieve information that our paralegals were unable to obtain from the defendant themselves. To succeed as a skip tracer, you have to have an eye for detail, constantly delving deeper into each situation as it arises. As a skip tracer it is necessary to be critical of the information you come across: one source may be correct and the other incorrect. The most efficient skip tracers find a way to locate people, assets, and other pertinent information that would otherwise remain undiscovered.
