    Edgar Law Group, LLP is seeking a full-time Receptionist & Client Concierge to support front-office operations, client intake, scheduling, client communication, document handling, and general administrative workflow. This is an important client-facing role for someone who understands that the front desk of a law firm is not merely a reception station. It is a trust point, a communication hub, and often the first impression clients, prospective clients, vendors, visitors, courts, agencies, and referral sources have of the Firm.
