We are seeking a Criminal Defense Attorney, licensed in the State of Georgia, with at least 2 years of experience, including motion practice experience, who is passionate about helping people.

You will need to have strong skills in the following areas: research, writing, courtroom presentation, and common technology. Skills and experience are appreciated and valued, and certainly considered, but your personality, character, intelligence, and integrity are also extremely important considerations. Salary is commensurate with skill and experience and is negotiable. We offer paid time off, pay for continuing legal education, bar dues, and E&O insurance. If this exciting opportunity appeals to you, we look forward to reviewing your resume. Responsibilities:

  • Maintain client files in an organized fashion to ensure up-to-date information is handy for other attorneys, paralegals and support staff

  • Prepare correspondence and legal documents such as contracts, pleadings, briefs, affidavits, motions, and settlement agreements for contract negotiations and proceedings
