About this role

Robertson, Anschutz, Schneid, Crane & Partners, PLLC (RAS)
Location: Fairfield/Mount Laurel, NJ


Position Overview

Robertson, Anschutz, Schneid, Crane & Partners, PLLC (RAS), a law firm specializing in creditors' rights, mortgage default servicing, and foreclosure, is seeking an experienced Eviction Paralegal to handle residential eviction matters in New Jersey and Pennsylvania arising from completed foreclosure proceedings.

The ideal candidate will have experience with post-foreclosure evictions, court procedures, and managing a high-volume caseload. We are looking for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, comfortable working independently, and capable of keeping cases moving while meeting client and court deadlines.


Key Responsibilities

  • Manage New Jersey and Pennsylvania post-foreclosure eviction files from referral through completion.
  • Prepare and file eviction complaints, motions, certifications, applications, and other court documents in accordance with applicable state procedures.
  • Coordinate post-foreclosure possession proceedings, including ejectment actions and other appropriate legal remedies.
  • Monitor court schedules, hearings, filing deadlines, and case developments.
  • Coordinate with attorneys, clients, court personnel, sheriffs, constables, and other parties involved in the eviction process.
  • Track writs of possession, lockouts, and other steps necessary to obtain possession of foreclosed properties.
  • Review foreclosure documentation, judgments, and other records to ensure files are ready to proceed.
  • Maintain accurate case information and provide timely status updates through client servicing systems.
  • Identify delays, contested matters, and potential legal issues requiring attorney review.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable New Jersey and Pennsylvania laws, court rules, client requirements, and firm procedures.


Qualifications

  • Prior paralegal experience in foreclosure-related evictions, ejectments, or creditors' rights litigation strongly preferred.
  • Knowledge of New Jersey and/or Pennsylvania eviction procedures, particularly those involving post-foreclosure possession.
  • Experience preparing legal pleadings and filing documents electronically.
  • Familiarity with court procedures, sheriff scheduling, writs of possession, and lockout coordination.
  • Ability to manage a high-volume caseload while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and legal case management systems.
  • Experience with mortgage servicing platforms such as Black Knight/LPS or similar systems is a plus.


What We're Looking For

We need someone who understands that post-foreclosure evictions involve more than simply preparing paperwork. The right candidate will take ownership of assigned files, anticipate the next steps, follow up on outstanding matters, and recognize when an issue needs to be escalated.

Experience handling evictions in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania is preferred, although candidates with strong experience in either state will be considered.

Pay Range: $18.00 - $23.00 Per Hour
