Associate Attorney

Denver Metro Area | Full-Time

***About Us***

We are a boutique, aggressive, and compassionate law firm based in the Denver metro area. Our mission is simple: fight relentlessly for people who are being railroaded by powerful institutions—courts, prosecutors, insurance companies, and bureaucracies that prioritize efficiency over fairness.

We don’t operate like a volume firm. We take cases personally, prepare aggressively, and advocate hard for our clients at every stage. We make sure our team has modern equipment and tools to enjoy the work and do it well. We are a hybrid workforce and we go where we're needed.

We are seeking an Associate Attorney with 2-4 years of experience who wants meaningful responsibility, consistent courtroom exposure, and the opportunity to build a strong professional reputation in the Denver legal community.

We need this Associate to support overflow from the Criminal/Traffic defense docket and the Personal Injury docket, and we are also looking to add Workers Compensation to the firm's regular capabilities. The ideal candidate would be bringing a book of business from either practice area, and/or have lead referral sources in the community.
