Kansas City, United States Benjamin Law Firm - DWI & Criminal Defense Full time

Do you want to fight to protect the rights of good people who may have made a mistake that shouldn't haunt them for life? 


The BENJAMIN LAW FIRM for DWI & CRIMINAL DEFENSE is seeking an experienced associate attorney to join our team. We want an attorney with a Missouri and Kansas license and with at least 3 years of experience in Criminal Defense, who ideally has had more than 1 jury trial as first chair.


We have offices in Belton and Kansas City. We will have a new, larger office in KCMO this year, and in the meantime, our lawyers are able to work remotely from a home office as needed. We are an entrepreneurial criminal defense law firm that is on track for aggressive growth and we need a detail-oriented, highly organized, passionate, emotionally mature, and self-directed person who can take on a wide variety of criminal and DWI cases.


We want to be known for helping clients come out of an extremely emotional process feeling as though they are a better person, in a better position, and that they had a team behind them that really cared and fought for them. We are growing fast, and we need an associate attorney who can hit the ground running. 

This position will be responsible for important work, including:


  • Communicate empathetically and professionally with clients
  • Speak persuasively in front of juries and judges
  • Negotiate passionately and relentlessly for clients
  • Conduct a strategic analysis of cases to get the best results for clients


If these statements appeal to you, then you may be our associate attorney:

  • You are empathetic to those in high-stress situations where their lives and livelihoods are on the line, especially with many who struggle with mental illness or addiction
  • You enjoy digging into the facts and the law to help a client win their case
  • You excel in public speaking and being persuasive
  • You are very well prepared with a sickening degree of attention to detail 
  • You excel in legal strategy, legal research and writing
  • You have a grasp of constitutional and criminal law and know how to strategically analyze a case for a client
  • Your middle name is “No Drama”
  • You are an awesome juggler of tasks and can change gears quickly


We love to help people learn and grow, but we need an associate attorney who has some experience in criminal and DWI law. The ideal candidate will be able to take initiative on work that needs to be done and complete tasks with minimal hand-holding.


Include a cover letter for your resume where you answer the following questions:

Question #1: Why do you think you're the right candidate for this position? Do not exceed 3 paragraphs and keep your answer to less than 375 words. 

Question #2: Our Firm magic statement is – We fight to protect the rights of good people who may have made a mistake that shouldn’t haunt them for life.  Tell us what this statement means to you and why you think we chose it.

Compensation:

$75,000 base + bonus

Responsibilities:

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Communicate often with clients so no client claims “I never hear from my lawyer” or “My lawyer never calls me back”
  • Document all activity related to a case because “if you didn’t document it, it didn’t happen”
  • Speak persuasively in court in front of juries or judges
  • Set legal strategies and give advice
  • Conduct legal research and writing to help clients get the best results possible
Qualifications:

Specific Qualifications, Experience & Personal Qualities

  • Be persistent and relentless in your advocacy
  • Always try to win for the client, a “never give up” attitude
  • Self-starter, detail-oriented with exceptional organizational and communication skills
  • Strong oral and written communication skills (must have a strong grasp of grammar, syntax and vocabulary). You may be asked for a writing sample
  • Proficiency with Mac and MS Office applications, and prefer experience with Clio Manage and Clio Grow
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
About Company

We love to work as a team to get the best results possible and see clients succeed during stressful times in their lives. We love to win for clients, if possible, and help them have a second chance at a successful future. We provide support and training to all members of our team, including mindset work to allow everyone to meet their personal, professional and financial goals.
