ABOUT US:

We are a respected criminal defense firm known for our dedication to clients and our strong trial practice. We’re expanding our team with a unique attorney role that is not a trial or courtroom position. Instead, this attorney will help clients regain something essential to their daily lives—their driver’s license.

This work changes lives immediately. Clients who regain their ability to drive can work, take care of their families, and get their independence back. This position is deeply fulfilling for the right person.

• Communicate clearly and compassionately with clients
• Track deadlines, requirements, and progress across many active cases
• Work independently while contributing to a team-oriented firm culture

WHAT THIS JOB IS NOT:

• A courtroom or litigation role
• A high-adrenaline, trial-heavy position

YOU’RE A GREAT FIT IF YOU ARE:

• Organized — You enjoy systems, checklists, and staying on top of moving parts
• Self-motivated — You don’t need to be micromanaged; you take ownership of your caseload
• Detail-oriented — You notice the small things that make a big difference in eligibility and approvals
• Client-focused — You find satisfaction in helping people through stressful situations
• Efficient communicator — You can explain complex requirements in a way clients understand

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE:

• You’ll make a direct, positive impact on clients’ lives
• Predictable schedule and workflow—no trial calendar, no late-night prep
• A supportive criminal defense team cheering you on
• Opportunity to build and lead a specialized practice area within the firm
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and room for professional growth

REQUIREMENTS:

• Licensed attorney in good standing
• Strong organizational habits
• Ability to manage a high-volume docket with accuracy and care
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Prior experience with administrative or licensing matters is a plus, but not required
