Attorney

Join our team where your experience can help shape the future of a modern, growth‑oriented practice—whether you are already licensed in Arizona or currently licensed in another U.S. jurisdiction and interested in obtaining Arizona admission. Experienced litigators with at least three years of civil litigation practice are encouraged to apply, and we welcome candidates who are eligible for or willing to pursue Arizona admission by motion or UBE score transfer in accordance with Arizona’s bar admission rules.

We’ll support you with probate, guardianship, and trust litigation training and a modern tech stack, including Clio Manage and WealthCounsel, so you can confidently transition into or deepen your experience. You’ll start with a dynamic mix of active litigation and informal probates while gradually transitioning to a more non‑contested probate caseload, all within a firm that prioritizes high‑quality legal representation, personalized client service, and a culture of integrity and expertise.

We’re more than just a workplace; we’re a community offering competitive salaries and bonuses and a suite of benefits designed to support your well‑being and professional growth. Enjoy the security of health insurance, plus the flexibility of a 401(k) and PTO. We invest in your career with CLE, bar dues (including support for Arizona admission where applicable), and malpractice coverage, and we ensure you have the tools to succeed with reasonable billable expectations and supportive staff. Together, let’s navigate the complexities of probate law and make a positive impact on clients’ lives.

This is a full‑time role with typical hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday–Friday, and can be performed fully remote from anywhere in the U.S., with the expectation that attorneys not yet licensed in Arizona will pursue Arizona admission and with optional hybrid time in the office for those based in or relocating to Arizona.

What We Offer:

• Salary: Starting at $160,000 (DOL/DOE)
• Plus performance‑based bonuses tied to billables, collections, and results.
• Reasonable, clearly defined billable expectations and support staff who actually help you hit them.
• Probate/trust litigation training, including forms and procedures.
• Modern tech stack (Clio Manage, WealthCounsel, and other best‑in‑class tools) so you can focus on lawyering, not paper‑chasing.
