About the role
- Prepare complete bankruptcy petitions with emphasis on Chapter 13, including capturing assets, liabilities, income, household composition, and supporting schedules/statements.
- Conduct means test calculations to assess eligibility prior to filing; work only on cases pre-screened for viability and strict ethical standards.

- Perform rigorous quality control to ensure precision in names, addresses, figures, and disclosures aligned with trustee expectations.
- Draft and update petitions using Jubilee bankruptcy software and manage files securely via Dropbox; work effectively in a remote environment.
- Participate in brief daily huddles and uphold client-first empathy as "the solver" during stressful client journeys.
- Coordinate original signatures as required by the court to meet time-sensitive case demands.
Requirements
- Minimum 3 years of solid, hands-on U.S. bankruptcy paralegal experience preparing petitions, preferably Chapter 13; 5+ years preferred.
- Proficient with bankruptcy software; experience with Jubilee or ability to learn it quickly is a plus.
- Native-level or highly fluent English; Spanish is a plus.
- Demonstrated commitment to ethics, confidentiality, and accuracy.
