Intake Attorney

About the role

If You Want to Learn the Law, These are the Reps You Are. You are the first point of contact for every prospective client who comes to Burnham Law - usually on one of the hardest days they have had. Different facts, different people, different problems, every single day. That volume is the fastest legal education there is. You will see more situations in a year here than most attorneys see in three. Some of them you will not have the answer to. That is the job working correctly.

Responsibilities

• Full-time, exempt. 30 billable hours per week: at least 20 hours of legal work, up to 10 hours of consultations.
• Evaluate matters and deliver clear, strategic guidance - no hedging, no jargon.
• Partner with Client Development so the handoff from first call to signed client is seamless.
• Carry a small caseload: pleadings, discovery, research, hearings, mediations, negotiations.
• Own your deadlines, filings, and documentation.

Requirements

JD from an accredited law school and an active Colorado license in good standing
2+ years practicing. Domestic relations required; criminal defense is a major plus
Sharp research and writing - sharper client instincts
Comfortable in a courtroom, on a cold first call, and saying "let me get you an answer"
Westlaw, Filevine, and Microsoft Office preferred
Valid driver's license and reliable travel to courts and client meetings

Qualifications

Energetic. Coachable. The kind of attorney who wants to be measurably better in December than they were in August, and who is building a career on a real foundation rather than chasing the next title.
