Estates, Trusts & Probate Attorney Mulembo Law PLLC Tucson, AZ Job Details Full-time $120,000 - $150,000 a year 21 hours ago Benefits Health insurance Dental insurance 401(k) Paid time off Vision insurance Professional development assistance Life insurance Retirement plan Qualifications Legal writing Writing skills Bar Full Job Description Own the Practice Area. Not Just the Files. You have done the estates work. You have drafted the trusts, walked families through probate, handled the guardianship that nobody else wanted to touch. And you have done it inside a firm where estates is the side department, the thing that gets attention when family law or personal injury is slow. We are offering you the other version of that. Mulembo Law is building an estates, trust, guardianship, and probate practice, and we are hiring the attorney who will lead it. Not manage the overflow. Lead it. That means shaping how we intake these matters, what we charge, what we say no to, and how we market it. Our firm structure puts attorneys at the head of practice areas, and this seat is open. Read This Part Carefully Today, our caseload is primarily family law, and your caseload will start there too. That is the honest picture. The estates practice is being built, not inherited, and you are being hired to build it while carrying family law matters that fund the runway. If that reads as a bait and switch, this is not your role. If it reads as the reason to take it, keep going. What You Will Do Carry a family law caseload including divorce, custody, parenting time, support, and modifications, with real courtroom time (we are in court regularly) Handle estates and probate matters: wills, trusts, powers of attorney, formal and informal probate, trust administration, guardianship and conservatorship Design the intake criteria, fee structure, workflow, and document templates for the estates practice Partner with firm leadership on marketing and positioning for the practice area Advise clients honestly through decisions that are often emotional and always consequential Mentor paralegals and staff as the practice area grows into its own team What Makes This Different Real ownership. Practice area heads at Mulembo Law make decisions, not recommendations. If the intake process for probate is wrong, you fix it. Pre-screened clients. We aggressively screen every client before onboarding. You will not spend your week managing someone who should never have been signed. Planned growth. We are hiring our third attorney because the plan calls for it, not because someone quit. The firm's three-year vision includes a Tucson headquarters and Phoenix Metro expansion, and this practice area is part of how we get there. Direct communication. Our core values are Excellence, Authenticity, and Respect. Authenticity means respectful directness. You will always know where you stand. Work Structure Hybrid. Court appearances, client meetings, and team collaboration are onsite in Tucson. Drafting and case preparation can be remote when it makes sense.
