Job Description

The Willis Law Firm, a boutique firm and nationally recognized leader in DUI and drug defense, is looking for a highly motivated trial attorney with at least three years of experience to join our team! The attorneys at our firm work hard to ensure that every client receives the best possible defense and representation. If you are looking for opportunities to change the face of criminal law, this is the firm for you. We do hundreds of motions hearings every year and file at least one lengthy memorandum in every case.

We have an extremely comprehensive library of Memorandums and Briefs that Greg Willis modifies weekly to keep up with case law. Our attorneys take cases to trial and on appeal to the Georgia Court of Appeals, the Georgia Supreme Court, and the United States Supreme Court (our firm has cases pending in all three courts that could dramatically change current case law). Greg Willis has handled over 60 appeals to each of Georgia’s appellate courts and approximately 10 appeals to the United States Supreme Court. The lawyers in the firm work on all the appeals together, and Georgia’s current DUI laws are being challenged by our firm as they relate to the admissibility of blood, breath, and urine testing. Our attorneys also invest time in pro bono work, including writing briefs for the GACDL Amicus Committee and assisting GACDL in other important endeavors.

Our ideal candidate is committed to excellence and integrity in everything they do, has a positive attitude, works hard, takes initiative, and is a team player. The Willis Law Firm strives to make a difference in the lives of clients and in Georgia law with a passion for our constitutional rights. We use MyCase case management software that has been tweaked for our firm to make our jobs less stressful (by tracking all deadlines with many reminders).

We are a growing firm with endless opportunities. We offer strong benefits and compensation packages on the high end of the market, including :

  • Salary plus incentive opportunities (quarterly bonus opportunities)
  • Profit sharing
  • 401(k)
