Criminal Defense Lawyer | Michael & Associates

Michael & Associates is a modern, forward-thinking criminal defense firm, transforming the way legal representation is delivered. We are looking for experienced Criminal Defense Lawyers to join our growing team and help redefine the standard for client advocacy.

From day one, we’ve challenged the traditional defense model—leveraging technology, innovation, and a client-first approach to create a practice that is efficient, transparent, and service-oriented. At the heart of our work is a steadfast commitment to our clients : building trust, maintaining open communication, and providing exceptional representation at every stage of the legal process.

Why You’ll Love This Role

1. Focus Exclusively on Practicing Law

We didn’t become lawyers to manage billing, marketing, or administrative tasks—we became lawyers to advocate for and win for our clients. At Michael & Associates, that’s exactly what you’ll do.

Our infrastructure is designed to let you focus on your craft, supported by :

  • A 5 : 1 staff-to-trial attorney ratio
  • A dedicated intake team—no sales or onboarding duties
  • A full-time legal assistant for every attorney
  • Specialized teams handling ALRs, ODLs, billing, and admin
  • ALR hearings managed by experts
  • Strategic case assignments to minimize travel and align with your expertise
  • Remote work flexibility when not in court

Our systems empower you to practice law at the highest level—without distractions.

2. Real Opportunities for Growth

Unlike most defense roles, there’s no ceiling here. At Michael & Associates, you can :

  • Advance your career without leaving the courtroom
  • Explore leadership, mentorship, or specialized practice roles
  • Grow with a firm on a clear national trajectory

    • We’re building a place where defense attorneys can grow, lead, and thrive.

    3. Competitive Compensation & Benefits

    We back our attorneys with a strong compensation and benefits package, including :

  • Competitive base salary with bonuses tied to client satisfaction
  • Work-from-home flexibility when not in court
  • Mileage reimbursement for extended travel
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Fully covered CLEs and bar dues

    • 4. Collaborate with Top-Tier Talent

    We hire only the top 10% of defense attorneys — no entry-level or junior hires. Our lawyers average 10+ years of experience , and collaboration is at the heart of our culture.

    You’ll work alongside exceptional peers who elevate your practice — not compete with it — ensuring better outcomes for clients and a more rewarding professional experience.

    5. Join a Visionary Growth Story

    Michael & Associates is already a major force in Texas — and we’re just getting started. Our goal : to become the first nationwide criminal defense brand .

    Join us at this exciting stage of expansion and help shape the future of criminal defense across the country.

    6. A Modern, Innovative Firm

    We embrace progress where others resist it — leveraging :

  • Technology that streamlines legal work
  • Data-driven insights for smarter decisions
  • Continuous process improvement for better results

    • If you value innovation, efficiency, and modern tools, you’ll fit right in.

    7. Make a Real Difference

    Criminal defense is personal — for our clients and for us. We provide concierge-level service with empathy, diligence, and dedication. Our impact is real, reflected in outstanding results and client feedback.

    8. Premium Practice, Manageable Caseload

    We operate as a premium firm, which means :

  • Fewer cases per attorney
  • Higher standards of care
  • Better client outcomes

    • You’ll have the time, support, and resources to deliver your best work — every time.

    In Summary

    If you’re an ambitious attorney ready to help redefine what criminal defense can be — for both clients and lawyers — we want to hear from you.

    P.S. Know someone who’d be a great fit? We offer a $5,000 referral bonus for successful attorney hires (conditions apply).
