Attorney

Description:

We're looking for a fighter who's passionate about helping real people and unafraid of big business, insurance companies, other attorneys, or the courtroom.

From the beginning, Leonard Law Group, PLLC, d/b/a Leonard Law Firm has set out to be a different kind of law firm. We put our clients and our staff first. We are a hard-working firm motivated by integrity and driven by a passion for helping others. We have built a quick culture of being intelligent, intuitive, innovative, and compassionate people who care as much about each other as their work. As a result, we have been expanding at an extraordinary pace. We want to be a ideal work destination. We are growing fast, opening new offices, adopting new technologies, and setting trends. We primarily do Personal Injury and Business Litigation. However, we are looking for someone with experience in Family and Criminal Law (the other is a plus), a passion for their work, a sense of humor, and a desire to be a part of a firm where talent, friendship, respect, and laughter abound.

• You're not afraid to try new legal strategies and tactics and actively look for ways to do things better.
• You're looking for good compensation, a bonus plan, and room for growth.

• You have a healthy sense of humor.

We'll know you're a good fit if…
