TOP CRIMINAL DEFENSE & INJURY LAW FIRM SEEKS ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY
PUGET LAW GROUP (PLG) is searching for an experienced and dedicated ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY to join our stellar team of defenders.
PLG is the largest and top-rated law firm of its kind in the Pacific Northwest – and one of the fastest growing firms in the nation. Our Vision is to be the winningest law firm in the Pacific Northwest. We are driven by excellence in advocacy, relentless client dedication, and a culture of integrity and collaboration. As we build the Injury and Criminal Defense law firm of the future, we seek attorneys who share our commitment to winning for our clients, pushing for continuous growth, and supporting one another as a team.
We are also proud that two of our attorneys have gone on to become judges-a testament to the exceptional caliber of talent and leadership within our firm.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
As an Associate Attorney with PLG, you must be equally committed to and aligned with both our Vision and our Core Values. If you are passionate about making a difference and want to be part of a team that is transforming the legal landscape, we invite you to explore opportunities with us.
You will work as part of a dynamic team that works together like no other. We collaborate and share ideas and insight; we cover for each other in court when needed and you will be called upon largely to assist with coverage to start. This position will give you the unique opportunity to grow your experience and skill set as far and wide as you are able and willing. In due time, you will handle a busy caseload of criminal misdemeanors and, depending on experience, eventually (DOE) felonies, working diligently to maintain the high level of professionalism and client care that PLG has become known for.
Finally, you will be invited and encouraged to actively engage in creating content, and to participate in our marketing and branding efforts.
Our experienced and formidable team of criminal attorneys – including former prosecutors – have more combined experience than any criminal defense firm in the Northwest. This means you will have opportunities to learn and be mentored that simply do not exist anywhere else — and you will be expected to seek out those opportunities.
REQUIREMENTS
0-5 (or more) years experience handling criminal matters in court.
Bilingual (especially Spanish or Korean) and/or former experience working as a prosecuting are a plus.
