Full Job Description

The Teen & Young Adult Defense Firm, located in Woodstock, is seeking an attorney that is eager to handle criminal and juvenile defense cases, ranging from traffic violations to felonies. This includes representing clients throughout the litigation process, including negotiations, pre-trial motions, trials, and pleas, as well as the occasional appeal. Juvenile delinquency experience and school tribunal experience are preferred, but not required.

The attorney in this position will focus on helping our clients achieve their goals, by providing representation throughout the legal process as well as advice on how the matter will appear on their official Georgia criminal history, and the potential options to have that information restricted.

While bringing in new clients is incentivized, it is not an expectation of this role. This position is perfect for you if you love being an attorney and don’t like having to worry about bringing in business or managing the day-to-day operations of a law firm. We want you to be the best attorney you can be so that you can get the best possible results for our clients given their situations.

About Us

Our team focuses exclusively on helping individuals who have been accused of a crime and school disciplinary hearings. We have very high customer service standards, and our clients always come first. Our firm’s mission is to do everything we can to make sure that a bad decision or bad situation does not define a person’s life. Beyond just providing thorough criminal defense services, we strive to make the process as stress-free and easy as possible, while being compassionate to what our clients and their families are experiencing. Oftentimes, this is one of the most difficult experiences of a person’s life, and our firm does everything we can to ease that difficulty.

To this end, we have established systemized processes to make sure that our clients have a consistently positive experience when working with our team. While we are constantly working to improve and fine-tune these systems, our entire team is expected to follow through with them and contribute to improving them. While we take following our internal processes and how we handle our clients’ cases very seriously, we have a positive environment inside our office.

Why join us?

We are an established and growing firm and have been recognized for two years by the Law Firm 500 as one of the fastest-growing law firms in the country. 2020 was a rough year, but we are excited to move forward and continue to grow in 2021 and moving forward.

During 2020, we realized that we can do most of our work remotely and plan to carry that forward in the future, as long as that remains practicable for providing our clients the best service and ensuring all necessary work is being done.

Be a part of a team. We take a team approach when helping our clients through their situations. Different members of the team have different strengths and working together allows us to provide the best representation as well as a great environment to let your strengths shine.

Great culture. We are serious about how we handle client’s cases and making sure things are done right, but we also enjoy a positive atmosphere when interacting with other team members.

We want being a part of our team to help move you towards your goals.

Competitive compensation structure with incentives.

Paid Time Off, including holidays.

No expectation or requirement for you to generate new business, however we do have a bonus structure in place for new business generation.

Your role will not involve having to handle collections issues with clients.
