We are Hiring! | Weikel Law Firm

ATTORNEY SOUGHT FOR OUR GROWING FIRM:

Are you a solo attorney that lacks other attorneys in the office to brainstorm about your legal theories of a particular case? No support staff? Profit margins of less than 50% of your collections? Or maybe the business of running a law practice is hindering your ability to find the billable work and to perform the billable work? By bringing your portable book of business and experience through your employment at the Weikel Law Firm, you will be able to spend the majority of your time on finding and performing billable work instead of on managing the accounts payable, accounts receivable and invoicing of clients.

An attorney with the desired attributes that has only a small portable book is still invited to apply.
