Senior Criminal Defense Attorney

Michael & Associates is doing things differently in the criminal defense space.

Our goal is to become the largest defense firm in the nation in the next 3 years, and to create an environment where attorneys have opportunities for personal and career growth. All while providing top-tier defense and white glove service to our clients.

How are we different? We're developing advanced expertise in things such as digital marketing, process automation, and hiring practices. We believe this enables us to provide a whole new level of client experience, while also becoming one of the largest criminal defense firms in the country.

So if you’re a seasoned defense attorney with deep experience in the Austin area and interested in being part of something new, this job might be for you.

What makes this job so great?

1. Early Role at a Growing Firm. We’re already on track to become one of the largest criminal defense firms in the country, and you’ll be getting in on the ground floor. You will have the chance to help build something from scratch, versus just maintaining the status quo.
2. Personal Growth. Unfortunately, there really isn’t that much room for growth in the criminal defense field; the max responsibility you can ever hope for is to be a senior lawyer at a tiny firm. Yet every other type of law - corporate, litigation, personal injury - has massive firms with endless opportunities for advancement. Why not criminal defense? We’re creating a large firm where attorneys can grow, be challenged, enjoy their work and their coworkers. And speaking of how we do things differently…
3. A Forward-Thinking Firm. When you hear “cutting edge”, the last thing you think of is the legal profession. We’re going to change that. We embrace technology and continuous improvement. We believe leveraging technology makes us more efficient and leads to better client service.
4. We Play as a Team. When a client hires us, they get the force of the full firm. There are no lone-wolves here. We believe that lawyers working together not only leads to a better work environment, but better outcomes for our clients. Additionally, we go the extra mile to only hire A+ attorneys, so you'll be working with the best of the best.
5. A Chance to Make a Difference. Every day, we are helping improve our clients’ lives in a big way. Just check out our Google reviews to see the stories. We are Zealous Advocates for our clients, always going the extra mile to get them the best outcome possible.

And it doesn’t stop with just defending clients; we promise to provide high-touch, white glove service from start to finish, and make this a stress-free experience. We’re a premium service

To sum it up, if you’re an ambitious lawyer looking to help redefine the criminal defense field, we’d love to talk.
