The posting

Trial Attorney – Criminal Defense | Michael & Associates |

At Michael & Associates, we're redefining criminal defense in Tennessee. Building on our proven success in Texas, we're bringing our client-first approach, trial-focused advocacy, and industry-leading operational support to Nashville.

Our vision is to become the nation's most effective and efficient criminal defense firm within the next three years. To achieve that, we're investing in exceptional attorneys by providing the resources, technology, mentorship, and support they need to do their best work. We foster a collaborative environment where professional growth is encouraged, courtroom excellence is expected, and every client receives outstanding, personalized representation.

Who We Are

We are redefining the conventional defense law firm model by integrating outstanding courtroom advocacy with cutting-edge technological advancements. Utilizing digital marketing, automation, and data-driven recruitment methods, we broaden our reach, enhance our outcomes, and cultivate a contemporary, innovative legal practice.

About the Role

We are looking for a seasoned Trial Attorney with a proven history of success in Tennessee’s criminal courts. The ideal candidate will possess strong litigation skills, command respect in the courtroom, and demonstrate a steadfast commitment to protecting the rights of the accused.

In this role, you will oversee both felony and misdemeanor cases from arraignment through trial, supported by a dedicated team of attorneys, investigators, and professional staff. This position offers an exceptional opportunity to shape the growth of our Tennessee practice and contribute to one of the fastest-expanding criminal defense firms in the country.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Kickstart Your Career at a Fast-Growing Firm Join us at the ground level and help shape something extraordinary. Your role goes beyond routine tasks—you’ll have a tangible impact from day one.

Clear Paths for Growth and Leadership We offer advancement opportunities that are rare in criminal defense. Whether your goal is to lead, sharpen trial skills, or mentor others, your career path is clear and achievable.

Innovation That Supports Your Success We leverage technology, efficiency, and continuous improvement not as buzzwords, but as tools to help you focus on what matters most: serving your clients exceptionally well.

A Team That Lifts Everyone Collaboration is at the heart of every case. Our attorneys challenge, support, and elevate one another to achieve the highest standards of legal excellence.

Make a Meaningful Impact Every Day Guide clients through their most difficult moments and deliver results that truly matter. Our firm is recognized for combining zealous advocacy with empathy and professionalism.

Requirements

  • Based in the heart of Nashville, TN — right where the action is.
  • Over 7+ years of hands-on experience defending clients and fighting for justice in Tennessee courts.
  • Active member of the Tennessee Bar, ready to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact.

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.
