Senior Criminal Defense Attorney

Michael and Associates

is a forward-thinking criminal defense firm seeking a motivated Sales/Intake Attorney to lead our client acquisition initiatives. Unlike traditional practices, we’ve redefined the approach to criminal defense from day one. By applying innovative strategies inspired by the tech industry, we’ve built a client-centered firm that prioritizes strong relationships, transparent communication, and exceptional service. Why This Role Stands Out

1) Focus Solely on Practicing Law We didn’t become lawyers to juggle accounting, marketing, collections, or sales—we became lawyers to advocate for clients and win in the courtroom. At Michael & Associates, you can do exactly that. We’ve built an infrastructure that allows you to focus 100% on delivering great outcomes for clients: A 5:1 support staff-to-trial attorney ratio A dedicated intake team—you won’t handle new client onboarding Every attorney is paired with a full-time legal assistant (plus a team for ALRs/ODLs, billing, etc.) ALR hearings? Handled by specialists Cases are assigned strategically to reduce drive time and align with your expertise Work from home when not in court—because your time is better spent serving clients than commuting 2) Real Opportunities for Growth In most criminal defense roles, growth is limited. The ceiling? Becoming the senior attorney at a small firm. But why should that be the limit? We’re building a firm where criminal defense attorneys can grow, challenge themselves, and find long-term fulfillment. Think: a national-scale firm with real advancement opportunities—without leaving the field you love. 3) Competitive Compensation and Benefits Beyond a strong base salary, we offer: Substantial bonuses tied to client satisfaction Work-from-home flexibility (when not in court) Reimbursement for excess mileage 401(k) with employer matching Covered CLEs and bar dues 4) Collaborate with the Best We hire only the top 10% of defense attorneys—no junior associates or inexperienced hires. Our lawyers average over a decade of experience, and every client benefits from the collective strength of the entire team. We’re a collaborative environment, not a collection of lone wolves. The result? A better experience for both attorneys and clients. 5) Be Part of a Growing Vision We’re already a major force in Texas—and we’re just getting started. Our goal? To become the first nationwide criminal defense brand. Join us at this exciting early stage and help shape something truly transformative. You won’t be maintaining the status quo—you’ll be building the future of criminal defense. 6) A Modern, Forward-Thinking Firm The legal industry is often slow to innovate—but we’re changing that. We embrace technology and continuous improvement to drive efficiency, improve outcomes, and enhance the client experience. If you’re energized by innovation, you’ll thrive here. 7) Make a Real Difference Our work has a meaningful impact. For many clients, we’re helping them navigate the toughest time in their lives. We don’t just defend—we deliver high-touch, concierge-level service from start to finish. Check our Google reviews. This is premium legal care with a human touch. 8) Premium Practice, Manageable Caseload We are a premium firm, and our pricing reflects that. The benefit? Attorneys have the bandwidth to give each case the attention it deserves. Fewer cases. Higher standards. Better outcomes. In Summary: If you’re an ambitious attorney ready to help redefine what criminal defense can look like—both for clients and for lawyers—let’s talk. P.S.
