Attorney Position – Criminal Defense & Juvenile Law

About Our Firm
We are a small, close-knit law firm of ten attorneys specializing in court-appointed criminal defense and juvenile dependency (child abuse and neglect) cases. Our office culture is informal, collaborative, and highly flexible with work hours.

We are conveniently located within walking distance of all Washington County courthouse buildings and the jail. Our work includes:

Representing court-appointed clients in adult criminal defense cases.
Representing parents and children in juvenile court.
Visiting clients in jail and children in homes or foster care.
Handling retained work, primarily expungements (commission-earning in addition to salary).

The Role
We are seeking an attorney who will ultimately handle the full range of case types we manage. No prior experience is required—training and mentorship will be provided—but experience in criminal defense and/or juvenile law is a plus.

You will begin by training with our attorneys and gradually move into supervised court appearances. Case assignments will be made when you and the team feel confident you’re ready to take them independently.

 
Compensation & Benefits

Salary + “Flex” Pay (based on qualifications and case types handled):

$8,633.34/month ($103,600.08/year) up to $9,300/month ($111,600/year).
Incentive Pay for taking Termination of Parental Rights cases.
Commission: 50% on fees earned/received for non-court-appointed (retained) cases.
Firm-provided client leads for expungements and occasional family law matters.
Benefits: We pay all costs for PLF, CLEs, and OSB dues.
