Legal Assistant – Criminal Defense & Municipal Court Cases The Bianchi Law Group, LLC | Parsippany, NJ | Full-Time
Can you imagine going to work every day knowing your attention to detail and organizational skills are directly helping people through the most difficult moments of their lives?
The Bianchi Law Group, LLC is a team of former prosecutors who aggressively fight the government when our clients are charged with crimes. We handle indictable criminal defense, domestic violence restraining orders, and municipal court cases — including DWI/DUI — throughout the State of New Jersey.
Led by a former head county prosecutor and a former major crimes prosecutor — both certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as Criminal Trial Attorneys — our team operates with Compassion, Courage, and Commitment in everything we do.
We are growing, and we need someone who can grow with us.
Who We Need
Our attorneys and paralegals are in the trenches every day preparing for hearings and trials. We need a sharp, detail-oriented Legal Assistant who can work alongside our team to organize, review, and prepare case materials from intake through verdict.
This is not a passive file-management role. You will be an active part of our trial preparation process — someone who takes ownership, works independently, and understands that the work you do directly impacts our clients’ outcomes.
What You’ll Be Doing
Discovery Organization & Review
- Receive, organize, and catalog incoming discovery materials including police reports, body camera footage, 911 calls, photographs, and videos
- Review video evidence for relevant timestamps and events of significance
- Maintain accurate, attorney-ready discovery files for all active cases
Trial Preparation Support
- Assist attorneys with the preparation and organization of trial notebooks and exhibit binders
- Help coordinate and organize witness lists and witness preparation materials
- Work under time constraints inherent to criminal and domestic violence proceedings, which often require rapid review of extensive records
Case File Assistance
- Assist in obtaining and organizing client-provided evidence, including text messages, recordings, emails, photographs, surveillance footage, and social media records
- Help attorneys identify relevant evidence for hearings and trials
- Support the paralegal team with case management tasks as needed
The Types of Cases You’ll Support
- Indictable criminal defense matters
- Domestic Violence Final Restraining Order hearings in the Family Part
- Municipal court cases, including DWI/DUI
Experience with the criminal cases or the Domestic Violence Act is a significant plus — but not required. We will train the right person.
Who You Are
- Exceptionally organized and detail-oriented — you notice what others miss
- Able to work efficiently under pressure and tight deadlines
- Comfortable handling large volumes of materials and prioritizing effectively
- Discreet, professional, and trustworthy with sensitive client information

(Former Prosecutors & Public Defenders Encouraged)

Position Overview
The Bianchi Law Group is seeking a Criminal Defense Attorney to join our trial-focused New Jersey litigation team.
This role is well-suited for former assistant prosecutors, public defenders, or experienced criminal litigators seeking meaningful courtroom exposure within a structured, collaborative firm.
We are not a volume practice. We are a trial practice — intentionally built for serious criminal defense work, strategic litigation, and professional growth within a team environment.
Our firm is led by former prosecutors and NJ Supreme Court–Certified Criminal Trial Attorneys who bring executive-level prosecutorial insight and advanced trial experience to every matter we handle.
This position involves handling criminal defense matters, domestic violence restraining order hearings, and municipal court cases, including DWI/DUI.
Core Values & Professional Commitment
We are grounded in Courage, Compassion, and Commitment — not as slogans, but as operational values.
- Courage in trial advocacy
- Compassion in client representation
- Commitment to preparation, professionalism, and the advancement of the legal community
We believe criminal defense is not only courtroom advocacy, but service to the profession and community. Our attorneys are actively engaged in local and state bar associations and professional organizations, contributing to impact, leadership, and the advancement of the profession across New Jersey.
A Premier Landing Platform for Former Prosecutors
Built by Former Prosecutors
While this role is not exclusive to former prosecutors or public defenders, The Bianchi Law Group is uniquely positioned as a premier landing platform for prosecutors transitioning from public service to private criminal defense practice.
Our leadership and litigation team includes former prosecutors who have held the same responsibilities, pressures, and courtroom expectations. Among them is Bob Bianchi, a Governor- and Senate-confirmed former County Prosecutor, who brings executive-level prosecutorial leadership to the firm.
This shared background shapes how we practice, how we prepare, and how we support one another.
A Continuation of Service — Not a Departure
For many prosecutors, the transition to private practice raises an important question:
Can I continue to make meaningful impact while building a sustainable career outside of public service?
At our firm, the answer is yes.
We view criminal defense as a continuation of service — a commitment to constitutional advocacy, professional integrity, and responsible trial work.
A Community of Like-Minded Trial Attorneys
Former prosecutors who join our team find:
- A collaborative environment built on shared courtroom experience
- Structured, three-times-weekly litigation strategy sessions
- Leadership from Certified Criminal Trial Attorneys
- In-house appellate-level research support from the former Director of the Central Appellate Research Unit
- Active participation in local and state bar associations
This is not a solo practice environment.
This is a team of trial attorneys who value preparation, integrity, and professional contribution.
The Value of the Huddle
Criminal defense attorneys are often on the hot seat in court when constitutional challenges, evidentiary disputes, or complex legal issues arise without warning. Preparation must extend beyond individual case review.
Our attorneys meet three times per week in a structured Litigation Huddle led by:
- Bob Bianchi and David Bruno, both Certified Criminal Trial Attorneys by the New Jersey Supreme Court
- Bob Bianchi, former Head County Prosecutor
- The retired Director of the Central Appellate Research Unit of the NJ Appellate Division
These sessions are strategic working forums where cases are tested, arguments refined, and legal issues explored at an advanced level.
No attorney prepares for court alone. Strategy is challenged, strengthened, and sharpened collaboratively.
Responsibilities
- Handle criminal defense cases from investigation through trial
- Conduct jury trials, evidentiary hearings, and motion practice
- Represent clients in domestic violence restraining order hearings
- Appear in municipal court matters, including DWI/DUI cases
- Develop defense strategy and prepare motions and witnesses
- Participate in structured firm litigation strategy sessions
Qualifications
- New Jersey Bar admission in good standing
- 2–11 years of criminal litigation experience preferred
- Meaningful courtroom and trial experience
- Strong oral advocacy and cross-examination skills
- Ability to manage a demanding caseload
- Former prosecutor or public defender experience strongly valued
- Certified Criminal Trial Attorney designation is a plus
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: $90,000 – $130,000 (commensurate with experience and scope)
- Paid time off and holidays
- Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
- 401(k) with employer contribution
- Additional compensation through case origination
