Answer the Call. Defend the Vulnerable. Grow into the Advocate You’re Meant to Be.
At Progresso Legal Group P.C., we don’t just practice law—we defend the dignity of families. We stand at the frontlines of justice for the underserved, and we do it with compassion, conviction, and courage. Located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, we serve Latino and immigrant communities who have too often been ignored, mistreated, or silenced by the system.
Our mission is simple and bold:
“Serving Before Getting Served – Fighting for the Underserved.”
We are calling future Latino Legal Warriors—those who carry a deep sense of justice in their bones and believe that law must serve people, not power. Whether you’re at the start of your legal journey or seeking a deeper purpose in your work, this is a place where your growth matters—and so do your values.

Location: Downtown Los Angeles
Schedule: Monday–Friday, Full-Time
Compensation: $20.00 – $28.00 P/hr (upon hire, paid position, salary will be based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications)
Start Date: Immediate
No Experience: We will train those who are called to serve with excellence. We offer a structured internship-to-hire program for candidates who may lack legal experience but are rich in integrity, hunger to learn, and a heart for justice. For the right person, this internship can lead to a paid legal position at our firm.
Who We're Looking For:
. Bilingual – Fluent in English and Spanish (Required)
. Associate or Bachelor’s degree
. Strong in writing, research, and communication
. A positive, humble, and emotionally intelligent team player
. Organized, self-disciplined, and dependable under pressure
. Comfortable with Microsoft Word, Excel, Adobe Acrobat, and online court systems
. Residing in Los Angeles, CA (This is an in-person position only)
What You’ll Learn & Do
You won’t just sit behind a desk. You’ll step into the real work of legal advocacy:
- Draft Judicial Council forms, discovery, legal memoranda
- Prepare trial binders and evidentiary exhibits
- Support attorneys and case managers with direct client interaction
- Track and calendar court hearings and deadlines
- Assist in court filings (e-filing and in-person)
- Shadow attorneys in live courtrooms and observe advocacy in action
- Work on active cases involving custody, DVROs, SIJS, and immigration defense
Why Progresso Legal Group?
We are more than a law firm. We are a training ground for servant-leaders in law.
HERE YOU WILL BE :
1) Mentored by attorneys who see you as a future leader
2) Given real-world, courtroom and client-facing experience
3) Surrounded by a culture of faith, justice, and community service
4) Encouraged to grow in wisdom, discernment, and emotional intelligence
5) Supported on a pathway to long-term career development and hiring
We believe true justice is not automated—it’s human, relational, and spirit-led.
The legal profession needs more warriors who don’t just know the law, but live it with integrity.
“For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” – Proverbs 2:6
