Job Description

Spencer Trial Attorneys is a family-run law firm based in El Paso, Texas, led by the husband-and-wife team, Jake and Ashley Spencer. Operating out of a historic house-turned-office located at 1009 Montana Avenue, the firm offers full-service legal representation with a focus on probate, estate planning, guardianship, personal injury, criminal defense, and select litigation cases. The firm is well-recognized for its distinct combination of the passion and intensity typical of large law firms and the personalized care found in family practices. This unique approach has earned Spencer Trial Attorneys a reputation for strength, consistency, and legal excellence. Clients trust the firm to fight fiercely on their behalf while maintaining a collaborative and accountable team culture. The firm's philosophy is that all the drama should be reserved for the courtroom, ensuring a professional and supportive office environment.

The Guardianship Case Manager role at Spencer Trial Attorneys is a critical position designed to help families navigate the complex and often emotional guardianship process. This role involves managing over 200 guardianship cases simultaneously, which calls for exceptional organizational skills and keen attention to detail. The successful candidate will draft pleadings, monitor court calendars and deadlines, coordinate hearings, communicate with court clerks, and serve as a steady, empathetic point of contact for clients during the difficult transitions they face. Experience in guardianship law is advantageous, but the firm is willing to train the right candidate who brings a combination of grit, empathy, and organizational skills.

This full-time position requires the candidate to work at the El Paso office post-renovations, with an initial remote training period offered. The Guardianship Case Manager will be integral to the legal team, supporting attorneys by delivering timely updates, ensuring all case documentation is meticulously organized, and maintaining clear communication with clients and court personnel. The position offers a competitive salary aligned with the candidate's expertise and experience.

At Spencer Trial Attorneys, the emphasis on growth and development is evident. The new employee will benefit from a well-structured 30-60-90 day onboarding plan, direct mentorship from partners, and a supportive culture that values positive attitude and team collaboration. The firm believes in hiring for both talent and character and aims to maintain a close-knit workplace where everyone contributes to elevating the team. Working here means more than just managing cases — it means making a meaningful difference in families' lives during sensitive periods.

Additional benefits include observed El Paso County courthouse holidays, flexible sick and emergency leave, and a potential monthly health insurance stipend ranging from $250 to $500. Employees will also enjoy a renovated workspace with private offices and professional development opportunities such as the complimentary six-month Crisp Experience program offered after 90 days of employment. Spencer Trial Attorneys is committed to providing both a challenging and rewarding career path where legal expertise is matched by compassion and dedication to client service.

In summary, if you are a motivated individual excited by organized chaos, skilled in clear communication, and eager to guide families through tough legal processes with empathy and accountability, this guardianship case manager role at Spencer Trial Attorneys represents an outstanding opportunity. Your work will ensure that guardianship is more than just paperwork — it’s about protecting futures with professionalism and care.
