You must be very personable, reliable, call potential clients/clients on time, know how to manage your time efficiently, and know how to work independently. We enjoy working together as a team, so a sense of humor is a plus. ;) Attorneys that have been with us for quite some time, and who are very successful, manage their time well and are able to function independently, efficiently and they're able to handle their caseload without micromanagement. This is a work/life balance type of position. You will only work on matters you want to handle. You can stop receiving new matters to work on at any time.
Expectation is roughly 15-20 hours of work a week depending on the areas of law you handle and how many matters you'd like to take on. More or less work is available depending on your specific needs. If you don't have around 15-20 hours a week or so available, and/or if you don’t like talking to clients, please do not apply.
This is a remote position only. You can work from home, your own office, and/or onsite at one of our locations depending on office/room availability. Working from home and/or your own office is preferred as long as it's in a professional environment (i.e. no dogs barking, kids playing or any other substantial noise in the background).
Please email your resume or CV for consideration. This is an "attorney only" position. Please do not apply if you're not a current California attorney in good standing with the California State Bar and residing in California.
Pay ranges from $50hr - $150/hr depending on the case/task, with $50/hr limited to consultations and document reviews only, and actual case work-up averaging over $100/hr, but the rates vary depending on the matter at hand. We also offer periodic bonuses based on performance. Pay ranges on contingency cases vary depending on the task at hand.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you believe you're the right candidate for this position, then we look forward to hearing from you. :)
