The posting

Criminal Defense Lawyer | Michael & Associates

Michael & Associates is redefining modern criminal defense. By combining cutting-edge technology, operational excellence, and a client-focused approach, we strive to raise the standard for legal representation.

We are seeking experienced Criminal Defense Attorneys who want to go beyond the traditional practice—professionals driven to make a meaningful impact. From day one, you will join a team built on transparency, efficiency, and strong support systems. Our attorneys focus on what matters most: strategic case management, clear and effective client communication, and delivering exceptional representation at every stage of the legal process.

Why You’ll Love This Role

1. Focus Exclusively on Practicing Law

We didn’t become lawyers to manage billing, marketing, or administrative tasks—we became lawyers to advocate for and win for our clients. At Michael & Associates, that’s exactly what you’ll do.

Our infrastructure is designed to let you focus on your craft, supported by:

  • A 5:1 staff-to-trial attorney ratio
  • A dedicated intake team—no sales or onboarding duties
  • A full-time legal assistant for every attorney
  • Specialized teams handling ALRs, ODLs, billing, and admin
  • ALR hearings managed by experts
  • Strategic case assignments to minimize travel and align with your expertise
  • Remote work flexibility when not in court

Our systems empower you to practice law at the highest level—without distractions.

2. Real Opportunities for Growth

Unlike most defense roles, there’s no ceiling here. At Michael & Associates, you can:

  • Advance your career without leaving the courtroom
  • Explore leadership, mentorship, or specialized practice roles
  • Grow with a firm on a clear national trajectory

We’re building a place where defense attorneys can grow, lead, and thrive.

3. Competitive Compensation & Benefits

We back our attorneys with a strong compensation and benefits package, including:

  • Competitive base salary with bonuses tied to client satisfaction
  • Work-from-home flexibility when not in court
  • Mileage reimbursement for extended travel
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Fully covered CLEs and bar dues

4. Collaborate with Top-Tier Talent

We hire only the top 10% of defense attorneys — no entry-level or junior hires. Our lawyers average 10+ years of experience, and collaboration is at the heart of our culture.

You’ll work alongside exceptional peers who elevate your practice — not compete with it — ensuring better outcomes for clients and a more rewarding professional experience.

5. Join a Visionary Growth Story

Michael & Associates is already a major force in Texas — and we’re just getting started. Our goal: to become the first nationwide criminal defense brand.

Join us at this exciting stage of expansion and help shape the future of criminal defense across the country.

6. A Modern, Innovative Firm

We embrace progress where others resist it — leveraging:

  • Technology that streamlines legal work
  • Data-driven insights for smarter decisions
  • Continuous process improvement for better results

If you value innovation, efficiency, and modern tools, you’ll fit right in.

7. Make a Real Difference

Criminal defense is personal — for our clients and for us. We provide concierge-level service with empathy, diligence, and dedication. Our impact is real, reflected in outstanding results and client feedback.

8. Premium Practice, Manageable Caseload

We operate as a premium firm, which means:

  • Fewer cases per attorney
  • Higher standards of care
  • Better client outcomes

You’ll have the time, support, and resources to deliver your best work — every time.

In Summary

If you’re an ambitious attorney ready to help redefine what criminal defense can be — for both clients and lawyers — we want to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
