What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Attorney position at Hazzard Law Firm?
THE HAZZARD LAW FIRM, LLC
Birmingham Metropolitan Area, Alabama
The Hazzard Law Firm, LLC is seeking an experienced, highly motivated litigation attorney to join our growing practice. This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for an attorney who is capable of independently managing cases, appearing in court, communicating with clients, supervising case progression, and taking genuine ownership of his or her work.
Our practice includes family law, criminal defense, personal injury, probate, juvenile matters, and other civil litigation. The ideal candidate will have meaningful litigation experience in one or more of these areas and the ability and willingness to develop proficiency across the Firm’s practice areas.
This position is ideal for an attorney who wants more than a job. We are seeking someone interested in becoming an integral, long-term member of the Firm—someone who takes pride in excellent legal work, values client service, works well with a team, and can be trusted to move matters forward without constant supervision.
Who Will Succeed Here
The right attorney does not need to be reminded repeatedly to return a client’s call, prepare for court, review discovery, meet a deadline, or determine what needs to happen next on a file.
We are looking for an attorney who sees a case as his or her responsibility, identifies what needs to be done, communicates when assistance is needed, and follows the matter through.
At the same time, this is a collaborative Firm. The successful candidate will have access to the experience, resources, and support of the Managing Attorney and the Firm’s legal team. Independence does not mean working alone; it means being capable of taking ownership.
What We Offer
The Hazzard Law Firm offers the opportunity to perform meaningful legal work, obtain substantial courtroom experience, work directly with clients, and grow within an established Alabama law practice.
We are particularly interested in candidates seeking stability and a long-term professional home where excellent work, initiative, accountability, teamwork, and commitment are recognized.
Compensation will be competitive and commensurate with experience, demonstrated ability, and the responsibilities of the position.
To Apply
Please submit a résumé and brief cover letter describing your litigation experience and the types of matters you have independently handled. Candidates should also identify their current Alabama Bar status and availability.
All inquiries and applications will be treated confidentially.
Salary : $90,000 - $120,000
