Who You Are

You'll fit right in if you live by our five core values :

  • Open & Honest

You lead with integrity. You communicate clearly and directly - with clients, courts, and colleagues - always telling the truth with professionalism and compassion.

  • Team First (Wolfpack Mentality)
  • You know defense is a team sport. You build trust, share credit, and support your colleagues. You lift others up and never let a teammate stand alone.

  • Take Action
  • You move with urgency and purpose. You don't wait for someone else to solve the problem - you step up, take ownership, and get it done.

  • Play All In
  • You bring passion and energy to every case. You care deeply about your clients, your craft, and your outcomes - and you refuse to settle for "good enough."

  • Get to Yes
  • You're resourceful, persistent, and creative. You find solutions where others see dead ends. You adapt, innovate, and persevere until justice is served.

    $100,000 - $200,000 yearly
