Job Description:

Statewide law firm with offices in Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron, and Dayton. The firm focuses on domestic relations, bankruptcy, and criminal defense. Our Dayton office is looking for an additional attorney to become a member of the team. The opening is not a replacement position, but for the addition of another associate attorney that will be working out of Montgomery County, Ohio. The primary practice area for the position will be family law/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. One year of experience handling some family law/domestic relations cases is preferred, but not mandatory. The normal caseload for the position will be between 25-35 cases. The candidate must be able to handle this caseload with autonomy/limited supervision after initial training. 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 interested, please submit a resume and cover letter to be considered. We are looking to make a hire, as soon as possible. We will continue the interview process until we secure the right candidate.
