A bit about us: We have had extraordinary success working predominantly online in dispersed locations. Our model works particularly well for lawyers with a strong client following, allowing them to take home significantly more of their fee income - a marked contrast to the traditional model, where the lawyer is paid a salary with the hope of a year-end bonus. For those attorneys newer to the field, we provide leads and the guidance/training to turn those leads into retainers and growing caseloads.

Why join us?
We offer a 401(k) matching, dental, health, life, paid time off, professional development assistance, referral program, and vision insurance.

Salary: $150,000 - $170,000 per year
