Attorney

Do you love helping folks retake control of their financial lives so that they can build brighter, more stable futures for themselves and their families?

We’re an enterprising bankruptcy law firm that’s on track for aggressive growth, and we want you to join our team because you’re an organized, compassionate, and experienced bankruptcy attorney, and you’re looking to join a team that is committed to being an invaluable and unforgettable resource for clients during one of the most stressful times in their lives.

If the statements below appeal to you, then you may be an excellent fit for this role:

• You want to use your bar card to help people make their lives better.
• You’re thoughtful and kind even when dealing with angry and rude folks (to be clear, we don’t tolerate this behavior from clients, but we never allow someone else’s behavior to be an excuse for us to lower the standards we set for ourselves).
• You’re comfortable in stressful situations and know that you perform well under pressure.
• You eagerly seek responsibility and work hard to be someone that people trust and rely upon.
• You’re self-reflective and frequently seek new ways to improve yourself personally and professionally.
• You enjoy working with a team and contributing to something greater than yourself.
• You’re friendly, kind, and like being a resource for others.

To be clear, this role is not one to hide out in. If you think this is the role for you, then you are ready to grind with us for a full workday week-in and week out. You thrive on accomplishment and contributing to something bigger and more impactful than any one person is capable of.

The ideal candidate will be ready to get to work on tasks they’re qualified for right away and will be eager to put in the work learning the things they don’t know so that they can take on more tasks in the near to mid-future. They will take initiative on work that needs to be done and complete tasks with minimal handholding.

This is a remote position, but you will be expected to attend court in person from time to time. You will be working 40 hours per week. Your pay will be $80,000 with a very rewarding bonus structure that can allow you to earn into six figures based on performance.

Prepare a cover letter with no more than TWO paragraphs and a closing sentence.
