Statewide law firm with offices in Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron, and Dayton. The firm focuses on domestic relations, bankruptcy, and criminal defense.
The open position is for an associate attorney at our Cleveland area office located in Independence. The primary practice area for the position will be domestic relations.
This is a full-time position consisting of 40 hours per week. Our office hours are M-F from 9-5. The candidate must be licensed and in good standing in Ohio. The preferred candidate will have experience handling domestic relations cases.
The normal full-time caseload for the position will be between 25-35 cases. The candidate must be able to handle this caseload with autonomy/limited supervision. The candidate must be able to handle prospect telephone calls and convert the prospects to clients. The firm provides a billing department, a legal assistant, front desk receptionist, and a telephone receptionist for incoming calls.
The ideal candidate is someone looking for a career, not just a job. We are looking for someone that wants to grow with the firm and advance through our partnership track. Partner level can be reached as soon as 8 years for entry level attorneys (1-3 years of experience), but can be reached sooner for experienced attorneys. It is a great opportunity for someone that wants a stable, clear career path. Advancement through our partnership track is accomplished by satisfying very reasonable yearly goals, not at the discretion of senior partners. Simply put, production, not politics determines advancement.
Compensation for a full-time attorney is paid through a base salary plus monthly bonuses based on billable hours. Bonuses are expected, not aspirational. Yearly income increases as an attorney advances through the partnership track. Starting salary is commensurate with experience. If the candidate desires to bring a current caseload, then our firm can accommodate this.
If interested, please submit a resume and cover letter to be considered. We will continue the interview process until we secure the right candidate.
