Job Description

Do you love hearing elderly people talk about their life story? Do you find estate planning strategies fascinating? Are you the type of attorney who will do whatever it takes to make a document perfect because you take pride in doing things right? Do you feel at home and confident in probate court? Are you organized and efficient so that clients receive their documents quickly, and client files are maintained? Can you advocate passionately without losing civil professionalism?

We are a woman-owned, faith-based Texas law firm since 1987. Our expanding, established law firm is looking for 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.

We require 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. You must be warm and friendly to put people at ease, and sales experience is preferred. You will handle all types of probate matters from start to finish, prepare documents such as simple wills, conduct will execution ceremonies, do initial estate planning consultations, and also interview potential new family law clients as our intake attorney to transition the client over to a litigation attorney.

What’s in It for You?

  • Competitive base salary + generous bonuses —your hard work pays off!
  • Bar dues + up to 30 hours of CLE annually—on us!
  • Paid malpractice insurance & life insurance policy.
  • Company-matched retirement plan —we invest in your future.
  • Paid holidays, PTO, and free parking
  • A friendly work environment with a boss and team members who care about you, the firm, and the clients

This is  NOT  an entry-level position. You must have a Texas bar license in good standing and experience in Texas probate law.  We need a reputable attorney who can hit the ground running!

It is also not a remote position. We need you available to collaborate, share your energy, and discuss issues with team members in the office when you are not in court.

Our ideal candidate will be a qualified Texas attorney with at least 5 years of experience in Texas probate law and excellent written communication abilities. Please apply if this describes you!
