Supports criminal defense attorneys from intake through case resolution by organizing files and discovery, tracking court dates and deadlines, preparing and e-filing pleadings, building trial notebooks, communicating with clients, and coordinating with bond companies, jails, and pretrial services. The role requires sound judgment, discretion, strong organization, and experience managing deadline-driven criminal cases.
About Us:
The Law Office of Bryan Fagan is a firm that excels in family, estate planning & probate, and criminal law matters. We have (11) offices in Texas: (2) offices in Houston (Corporate and River Oaks,) and (1) office in Atascocita, Humble, Kingwood, The Woodlands, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Humble. Behind every criminal defense case, there's someone keeping it all together — the discovery, the deadlines, the client who's scared and needs a steady voice between hearings. That's this job.
We're looking for a Criminal Paralegal to support our Criminal Defense attorneys from intake through resolution. You'll own the moving parts of each case — files, discovery, court calendars, client communication — so our attorneys can stay focused on strategy and the courtroom. For many of our clients, you'll be the most familiar face at the firm between court dates, which means this role runs on judgment, discretion, and a calm, professional presence just as much as it runs on organization.
What You’ll Do
Keep every case file organized and current, from intake through disposition
Track court dates, filing deadlines, and speedy-trial windows so nothing slips
Request, review, and organize discovery — police reports, body-cam footage, lab results — and flag what matters to the attorney
Prepare and e-file pleadings and motions ahead of deadlines
Build trial notebooks and support attorneys in court
Be the client's point of contact between hearings — relaying updates, answering questions, and keeping them informed
Coordinate with bond companies, jails, and pretrial services on custody and release status
What We’re Looking For
- Associate's/Bachelor's degree or paralegal certificate from an ABA-approved program
- 2+ years of criminal defense or prosecution paralegal experience
- Comfort with e-filing systems and local court procedures
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage a full, deadline-driven caseload
- A calm, professional communication style — including with clients who are under real stress
- Sound judgment handling sensitive, confidential information
What You’ll Get
We value our paralegal team as the backbone of our firm and compensate accordingly. We offer a "Big Law" structure with a "Boutique" focus on people.
- Competitive Earnings: A base salary commensurate with experience plus earn up to $35K more with our attractive billable hour bonus plan, paid out every paycheck!
- Essentials: 401(k) with up to 5% company match, medical/dental/vision, and full benefits.
- Real Balance: PTO, company holidays, and an earned hybrid option designed to protect your work-life balance and mental health.
- Investment in your success: A full week of training will start you off with success as well as the offer to support CLEs as needed.
- Real Support: You focus on the strategy; our marketing and administrative engine handles the rest.

To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
