Job Description

Are you an experienced Trust and Estate Attorney qualified to run your own caseload, yet you continue to be micro-managed at a firm that does not truly value you and/or your career growth?

Do you spend hours per day commuting back and forth to the office?

Do you want to work for a cooperative minded firm with a culture that fosters positivity, support, and collaboration between attorneys?

Is your billable hour requirement overshadowing your social and family life?

Perhaps you are a solo practitioner, and the administrative duties involved in running your own practice are getting in the way of realizing your growth goals.

If your answer to any of the above questions is Yes!, consider a career change to the Williams Law Group.

At the Williams Law Group, we are exceptional advocates who conduct ourselves with
honesty and integrity, zealously advocating for the rights and interests of our clients
with the highest ethical fiber.

We treat our clients, opposing counsel, contemporaries, jurists, and ourselves with dignity and respect, evidenced in part by the recognition that we cannot do our best work when we are burnt out.

Our attorneys manage their own caseload, work 100% remotely, have reasonable
billable hour requirements and enjoy a healthy work-life balance, while
providing exceptional legal services to our clients

If you are an experienced Trust and Estate attorney, with a modest book of business
and want to discuss a possible move, we would love to speak to
you.
