Description:

Join a team where excellence, empathy, and integrity are more than words—they're how we practice law. At The Botnick Law Firm, we're committed to delivering exceptional legal and client services through a personalized, people-first approach. We're currently seeking a full-time associate attorney who's motivated to build a career in criminal, DUI, and traffic defense. If you're newer to practice, eager to grow, and ready to learn from seasoned attorneys, this is an opportunity to develop real courtroom experience and meaningful client relationships. If you already have some experience in the field, this is an excellent opportunity to join a team where you can share your passion and engage in the strategic planning for higher-level cases. This role is perfect for someone who either wants to get into criminal defense but hasn't had the chance, is looking to expand a solo practice and work with a team, or is a prosecutor who's ready to make a difference on the defense. You'll enjoy being in the courtroom, advocating for real people, and valuing mentorship, training, and professional development. We believe every client deserves dignity, honesty, and a defender in their corner. This is more than a job; it's a chance to build a career and make an impact inside a firm that prioritizes responsibility, dignity, quality, and teamwork in everything we do. If you have the work ethic, curiosity, and passion to learn, we can teach you the rest.
