What are the responsibilities and job description for the Litigation Attorney (4–8 Years) — Path to Partnership position at Godbey Law?
Godbey Law is an established, full-service Greater Cincinnati firm — six attorneys, 30 years in the community, a strong support staff, and a steady engine of work across litigation, family law, personal injury, estate planning, probate, criminal defense, and small business. We are looking for one more litigator who wants to build something, not just bill hours.
Who We’re Looking For
You are 4–8 years in, you can run a case from intake through trial, and you would rather control your own destiny than spend another decade grinding for someone else’s partnership. You are licensed in Ohio (Kentucky a plus — we also serve Northern Kentucky). Litigation is your home base; we will give you room to work across our other practice areas as your interests run.
Why This Seat Is Different
- A real path to partnership and ownership — we are building the next generation of this firm, and we mean it.
- Eat what you kill. Competitive base [set base figure — e.g., $80,000–$120,000, DOE] plus origination incentives — you share in what you bring in and collect. We market for the firm; we will also reward you for building your own book.
- Mentorship from seasoned trial lawyers and the autonomy to run your own matters.
- The platform is already built — malpractice coverage, experienced legal and administrative staff, offices and IT, marketing and web presence, parking, and a CLE allowance. You focus on practicing law.
- Open to a lateral with a book of business, or a potential merger, for the right attorney.

- Malpractice insurance
- Experienced legal and administrative staff
