About the role
Dallas County, Texas seeks an attorney to perform legal assignments with minimal supervision across various case types. You will evaluate cases, provide legal advice, relay plea offers, and represent clients in jury trials and hearings while coordinating with clients, judges, prosecutors and court staff.
Responsibilities include interviewing clients and witnesses, drafting motions, presenting evidence, negotiating pleas, and training junior attorneys.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
