About the Role

Allmand Law is seeking an experienced Docket and Reviewing Attorney to join our consumer bankruptcy team. This role is designed for a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney who can independently manage a high-volume docket, review cases for legal and procedural accuracy, resolve complex case issues, and represent clients in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 proceedings.

Our firm helps individuals and families regain financial control during some of the most difficult periods of their lives. The Docket and Reviewing Attorney plays a critical role in that mission by ensuring cases are legally sound, deadlines are met, hearings are properly handled, and clients receive clear, practical, and professional legal guidance.

As a Docket and Reviewing Attorney, you will oversee assigned Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 matters, review cases for legal and procedural issues, and help guide cases toward successful resolution.

Responsibilities include:

• Reviewing consumer bankruptcy cases for legal sufficiency, accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable court requirements

• Helping resolve escalated client concerns and case-related conflicts
• Maintaining accurate digital records and case status information
• Using case management software and internal systems to track deadlines, document work, and move cases efficiently toward resolution
• Supporting improvements to case quality, consistency, and operational efficiency
