What are the responsibilities and job description for the Criminal Defense Attorney position at VERO Legal, PLLC?
Criminal Defense Attorney
VERO Legal, PLLC | Idaho Falls, Idaho | Full-Time
At VERO Legal, we believe the right attorney is defined by more than a résumé. We’re looking for a criminal defense attorney to join our growing team. Our clients come to us at some of the hardest moments of their lives, and they deserve an advocate who is honest with them, respects them, and fights for them.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
Who We Are
VERO Legal is an Idaho Falls firm serving clients in family law, estate planning, and probate. We are currently looking to expand our services to include criminal defense work. We are a team built on five core values, and we hire, work, and serve by them every day:
- TRUE: We strive to leave no gap between what we say, what we do, and what is right.
- RESPECT: We value each person’s time, voice, and experience. We honor individual worth with dignity and kindness.
- UNITY: We build success together: different roles, same team, one firm.
- SERVICE: We help others face what’s hard, pursue what’s possible, and protect what matters.
- TENACITY: We choose the hard right over the easy wrong, with no hesitation and no exception.
A Life Outside the Office
We believe great attorneys are whole people. We want you to do excellent work, carry your share of the load, and then go home to your family, friends, and the things you love. We don’t measure commitment by how late the lights stay on, and we don’t want anyone to feel they have to live at the office to succeed here. Sustainable effort serves our clients better than burnout ever will.
What You’ll Do
- Represent clients in misdemeanor and felony matters, from arraignment through trial and sentencing
- Build trusting, honest relationships with clients and keep them informed throughout their case
- Work closely with our paralegals and support staff as true teammates
- Manage a full caseload while keeping your life in balance
- Uphold the highest standards of ethics and candor with clients, courts, and colleagues
What We’re Looking For
- Licensed to practice law in Idaho, or eligible and actively pursuing admission
- A genuine commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of every client
- Strong communication skills and the ability to deliver hard news with honesty and compassion
- A team player who values every role in the firm
- At least one year of criminal defense or trial experience. We value character and fit as much as experience.
What We Offer
- Pay: Depending on Experience
- 401(k), malpractice coverage, paid time off
- A supportive, values-driven team where your voice matters
- A firm culture that respects your time and your life outside of work
