Who You Are

  • The Credentials: J.D. from an accredited law school and admitted to practice (or pending admission) in Arizona.
  • The Experience: Experienced Attorneys are always welcome to apply. My client is also willing to train the right candidate who has a strong work ethic and a passion for litigation.
  • The Skills: Exceptional writing and analytical skills are a must. You should be comfortable navigating fast-paced environments and meeting deadlines.
  • The Mindset: A proactive "self-starter" who is eager to get into the courtroom and advocate zealously for clients.

Why Join This Firm?
