Job description

Overview

Base pay range : $155,000.00 / yr - $185,000.00 / yr

Mirador Law is seeking a seasoned criminal trial attorney who wants to continue doing high-stakes work with the support and resources to pursue justice, while managing a reasonable caseload that ensures you get balance.

What We Offer

  • Real Trial Work - We’re not a volume shop. You’ll still be in the courtroom trying serious felonies.
  • Manageable Caseload - Dig into each case with time and focus—don’t scramble through 100+ files.
  • Serious Support - Paralegals, associates, and cutting-edge tech (including AI tools) to back you up.
  • Professional Growth - Collaborate on strategy with partners who have 35+ years of combined experience as trial lawyers and a successful track record. Elevate your profile with time to speak, serve on boards, organize with other professionals. Become part of a respected team, not just a name on a docket.
  • Culture - We value collaboration, recognition, and strong teamwork. Our attorneys have been recognized as Super Lawyers and honored for trial achievements.

Who You Are

  • Trial attorney with 10+ years in criminal practice with serious felony trial experience. Or fewer years with 10+ serious felony trials.
  • Likely from a PD’s office or private practice doing court-appointed work.
  • Hungry to keep sharpening trial skills and grow in private practice; you’re not looking to coast.
  • Willing to network and build lasting referral relationships. We’ll help. The ideal candidate will take pride in generating business and enhancing the firm’s reputation.
  • Someone who reads juries, judges, clients, and colleagues with emotional intelligence .
  • Job Description

  • Carry a primarily felony caseload (15–30 felony cases, many serious or life-eligible).
  • Represent clients from start to finish : at arraignment, settlement conferences, hearings, and trials.
  • Research and draft substantive pre-trial / trial motions.
  • Supervise support staff issuing discovery requests, subpoenas and records requests.
  • Work with the criminal defense team to efficiently and effectively identify, obtain, and review discovery and defense evidence.
  • Clearly and compassionately communicate with clients.
  • Collaborate with partners, associates, paralegals, experts, and investigators to execute the defense strategy in each client’s case.
  • Appear in court routinely in Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and San Francisco counties.
  • Must work onsite in Pleasanton—we are an in-person, collaborative team.
  • The Reality of the Work

    We believe in balance, but criminal defense is unpredictable. When a client calls during a holiday weekend or at 8 p.m., we go. That’s the job.

    This isn’t a “remote-first” or “quiet office” kind of practice. We believe the best ideas and strategies happen face-to-face. Collaboration isn’t optional. We believe it’s how we win.

    Because this business is about people, relationships matter. We go to court in person. We pick up the phone to talk with prosecutors, investigators, experts, and co-counsel. We listen for nuance and are always looking for the small tells. These are the habits that separate good lawyers from great ones, and that’s the kind of lawyering we practice here.

    Salary and Benefits

  • $155,000 to $185,000 + meaningful annual performance bonus (Where you fall within this range is dependent on experience, seniority, and demonstrated role ability during the interview process.)
  • 401(k) + 401(k) matching
  • Profit sharing
  • Health insurance
  • Dental and vision insurance
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid time off
  • Disability insurance
  • Reimbursement for annual bar dues
  • Professional Development Budget (annual budget aimed at enabling CLEs and other trainings)
  • Monthly cell phone reimbursement
  • Car insurance stipend
  • Step Into What’s Next

    We get results : homicides and serious cases dismissed, lives changed. We’re building something significant, and we want an attorney who’s wired the same way—someone who values excellence, teamwork, and impact.

    This isn’t just a job. It’s a path. A chance to put your reputation next to ours, to grow into leadership, and to finally do the work you love at the level you’ve always wanted.

    If this sounds like the kind of practice you’ve been waiting for, send us your resume and a writing sample.

    We are an equal opportunity employer

    We know diverse perspectives make us stronger. Mirador Law welcomes applicants of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, socio-economic backgrounds, and abilities. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
