- Requirements: maybe "Active South Carolina Bar license in good standing", "Minimum of 1 year of experience in criminal law", "Willing to travel", "Tech-savvy — proficient in Microsoft Office and legal research tools." Also "Client centric; someone who truly enjoys the consistent and committed interaction with clients." That's more like qualifications/skills.
- Qualifications: maybe "Client centric", "Growth-oriented and driven, with a forward-thinking mindset and commitment to continuous learning.", "Detail-oriented, with a genuine sense of responsibility to the clients you represent." Also "Strong courtroom and negotiation skills — able to litigate cases, challenge evidence, and negotiate plea bargains with confidence."

- Pay: "Criminal Defense Attorney Incentive Plan ... No administrative fees — 100% of your earned incentive is yours; nothing is reduced by hidden administrative costs. Earn on every assigned case you successfully conclude — incentive pay applies to all assigned cases you conclude, so your effort is recognized and rewarded. Your earning potential grows with you — incentive pay increases with tenure, rewarding the experience, judgment, and client relationships you build over time at the firm. Combined with a competitive base salary, this is a compensation structure built to grow alongside your career."
- Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's flexible work-from-home options, but schedule not given. So we should NOT create Schedule section because no specific schedule content.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay and Benefits.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Criminal Defense Attorney". Use sections as above.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes under which heading.
Let's craft:
