Our core values and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, drive our actions and demonstrate our focus on being principled public servants who are innovative and better together. Learn more about the Colorado Attorney General’s Office here.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

The Tax & Public Finance Unit is one of 10 units within the R&R section. The R&R section represents various state regulatory agencies, including the Department of Revenue, the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), the Department of Agriculture, and the numerous divisions within these departments, such as the Department of Revenue's Taxation Division and the Division of Property Taxation within the Department of Local Affairs. R&R is the largest section in the Office of the Attorney General/Department of Law, comprised of approximately 115 team members who tackle a diverse array of legal challenges for nearly 100 state agencies, boards, commissions, divisions, and ombudsmen.

The Tax and Public Finance Unit represents the Department of Revenue on all State tax matters, including litigation of and advice on matters involving corporate income tax, sales and use tax, firearms and ammunition excise tax, and tax on the severance of nonrenewable resources, among others. The Unit also litigates and advises on matters with constitutional issues—for example, issues involving the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) in the Colorado Constitution and the Commerce and Due Process Clauses of the U.S. Constitution. The Unit provides legal advice to many State agencies and officials in addition to the Department of Revenue—including the Governor and the State Controller on certain issues.

The attorney will litigate State tax matters. Such matters often involve questions of first impression, interesting issues of statutory and constitutional interpretation, the interaction of State and federal law, and a variety of other important legal and constitutional issues. Tax matters are often complex and require sophisticated legal services to ensure that taxpayers, including national and international corporate taxpayers, pay the amount owed under the law, thereby protecting the interests of the State and all taxpayers. These matters often have high dollar amounts at issue with impacts that go beyond any single case. The attorney will handle tax litigation from inception through administrative and judicial processes, including State and, in some instances, federal court. The attorney will also likely handle litigation of TABOR-related issues in all levels of State court.

The attorney will provide general counsel advice to the Department of Revenue regarding rulemaking, proposed legislation, statutory interpretation, policies and processes, and other aspects of the agency's functions and responsibilities. The attorney will also provide general counsel advice to a variety of other State agencies and officials on tax and public finance issues.

The Tax and Public Finance Unit is highly collaborative, and the attorney should anticipate working as part of a team on most matters.

About the Role

TherapyWize is seeking a detail-oriented, self-motivated Paralegal to support a Colorado-licensed mental health professional, Child and Family Investigator (CFI) and Parental Responsibility Evaluator (PRE). This is a court-facing, deadline-driven role at the intersection of family law and mental health fields, ideal for a paralegal who takes pride in precision, organization, and helping produce a work product that directly informs judicial decisions about children's best interests.

Under Colorado's Uniform Dissolution of Marriage Act, CFIs are court-appointed investigators who evaluate parenting disputes under C.R.S. § 14-10-116.5, and PREs conduct more extensive evaluations under C.R.S. § 14-10-127.  This role requires skills in case management, drafting, scheduling and other investigative support roles across both types of engagements.

Key Responsibilities

Case File Management & Billing

• Create and maintain organized, accurately billed case files for every investigation, following documented checklists and procedures.
• Track billable time consistently and help develop a unified system for monitoring hours across cases.

Scheduling & Case Flow

• Manage and prioritize the evaluator's calendar to keep investigations timely, on track, and within budget.
• Support smooth case flow by anticipating scheduling conflicts and proposing solutions during case review meetings.

Records Requests

• Process attorney and court records requests within Colorado's required response windows, including timely file transfers and digitization.
• Communicate with counsel regarding receipt of files and assist in tracking related hearing deadlines.

Drafting, Correspondence & Court Filings

• Draft and format correspondence, court filings, and case summaries with strong grammar, punctuation, and professional tone suitable for judicial review.
• Use templates and checklists to standardize communications on matters such as drug testing, client timeliness, and clarification of court orders.
• Communicate proactively via tools such as Microsoft Teams, routing all outgoing communications through the evaluator's review and approval.

Proofreading & Quality Assurance

• Proofread reports and filings for grammar, clarity, and logical flow, recognizing that document quality can materially affect case outcomes.
• Flag language that would be unclear to a layperson and provide direct, constructive feedback to strengthen final work product.

Investigation Support

• Request, track, and compile documents and records from parties and collateral resources into a standardized format.
• Take detailed notes during update meetings/status conferences and review interviews to ensure information is captured accurately and promptly.
• Document follow-up attempts to gather information for the court's consideration.

Collateral Contact Outreach

• Conduct and track outreach to collateral contacts, maintaining organized records of attempts and responses.

Project & Workflow Management

• Use project management tools (e.g., Monday.com) to stay in sync with the evaluator, particularly in a hybrid/remote work environment.
• Help keep calendars, case trackers, and project boards current and accurate.

Process Improvement

• Identify and propose improvements to workflows, sharing ideas openly in collaborative planning and review sessions.
• Help develop and refine checklists and procedures that improve accuracy, transparency, and turnaround time.

Professional Development

• Engage in ongoing learning about domestic violence, child abuse, resist/refuse dynamics, and other topics relevant to family court investigations.
• Participate in relevant training and apply new knowledge to strengthen report quality and case support.
• Some level of professional development and ongoing training is a requirement.

Qualifications

• Colorado paralegal certificate or equivalent education/experience; candidates ranging from entry-level to experienced family law paralegals are especially encouraged to apply.
• Experience in family law strongly preferred; prior experience supporting a CFI, PRE, Guardian ad Litem (GAL), or similar court-appointed evaluator role is a plus, but not required — training is provided.
• Exceptional written communication skills, including strong command of grammar, punctuation, and professional writing style.
• High level of organization, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple case deadlines simultaneously.
• Comfort with digital tools such as Microsoft Teams, Monday.com (or comparable project management software), and Microsoft Office, and/or ability to learn the tools quickly.
• Discretion and sound professional judgment in handling highly sensitive, confidential family court information is required per statute.
• Willingness to learn about and engage thoughtfully with difficult subject matter, including child abuse, domestic violence, and resist/refuse dynamics.
• Ability to work effectively both independently and collaboratively in a hybrid work environment.
• Familiarity with C.R.S. § 14-10-116.5, § 14-10-124§, 14-10-127, § 14-10-129 and § 14-10-131 is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

• Pay: $25–$35 per hour, depending on experience.
• Benefits: Negotiable and tailored to the individual employee's needs — we welcome a conversation about what matters most to you.
• Schedule: Full-time, approximately 35–40 hours per week, hybrid (in-office/remote) within Colorado.
