  • Work closely with senior attorneys on complex cases, learning strategy and advanced litigation techniques.
  • Communicate effectively with clients, prosecutors, judges, and expert witnesses.
  • Develop case strategies and negotiate with District Attorneys for favorable resolutions.

What We're Looking For:

  • Required: Active member in good standing of the California State Bar.

  • Required: Ability to manage a high-volume caseload with compassion and diligence.
  • Strongly Preferred: Some courtroom experience (law clerk, extern, or practicing attorney).
  • Strongly Preferred: Familiarity with or exposure to felony case procedures.
  • Ideal Candidate: A resilient, quick learner who is not afraid to stand up in court and who thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

Why Join Our Firm?

  • Meaningful Caseload: Handle serious and impactful cases from day one, with the safety net of an experienced team.
  • Gain Trial Experience: We provide a clear path to second-chair and ultimately lead trial responsibility as your skills develop.
  • Competitive Compensation: Salary commensurate with experience, plus performance-based bonuses and a full benefits package (health, dental, vision, paid time off).
