Experienced Texas Probate Attorney

Overview

We are a woman-owned, faith-based Texas law firm established in 1987 seeking an experienced Attorney to handle all types of probate, take charge of initial intake of probate and family law clients, make house calls and hospital calls when necessary, and draft excellent estate planning documents for everyday middle-class people. This role carries a great deal of responsibility and requires a highly analytical applicant with excellent negotiation and organizational abilities who is available to work full-time at our location, either in San Antonio or New Braunfels.

This position is not remote and requires collaboration in the office when not in court.
