Firm Overview

We have been at the same location since 2005. Our buildings are nicely maintained, and they front on the second-busiest street in Kennewick – with 24,000+ cars passing by each day. (City of Kennewick official traffic count.) We have a superb and experienced staff, which is dedicated to helping you be successful. We are an amicable and close-knit team. You will not be required to engage in advertising or other client-generating activities. We take care of all that and are swamped with numerous daily new client consultations.

Requirements
We seek a motivated and hardworking attorney with energy, ambition, enthusiasm, attention to detail, and personality. You must be good at selling yourself and your lawyering capabilities, so potential clients consulting with you for the first time will feel secure with you and want to hire you for their cases. Beyond getting hired, you must be a capable and efficient self-starter – and eager to resolve our clients’ legal problems – in our full variety of practice areas (with exception to immigration). If any of our practice areas is new to you, we will train and assist you with becoming proficient. You also must be capable of working a large case load: keeping all your cases moving forward to resolution and keeping your clients regularly informed about their cases.

We offer medical, dental, and vision after 30 days of employment with us. After 6 months of employment, we offer a 401k with up to a 4% match, among other perks. We reimburse your annual bar dues and CLE costs. WSBA membership is required. Private practice experience is preferred. Bilingual Spanish is a plus, but is not required. This position is eligible for up to a $10,000.00 relocation package
