Principal is board certified in Elder Law and is AV rated. Principal is very versed in the law and procedures regarding and elder law and estate planning process and has an excellent reputation in the community. We have a terrific and experienced support staff. Training will be available to the extent applicant needs it.
Our clients are often families or spouses in crisis regarding an elderly family member; applicant must have the correct temperament to work with a vulnerable and very stressed population.
Duties include but are not limited to: meeting with clients, preparing estate planning and elder law documents, working with senior attorney and in general participating in all aspects of a small boutique elder law estate planning firm.
Although the candidate will be trained and supervised, Candidate must be able to work independently since principal is not a micro manager but prefers to serve as a coach, mentor and teacher.

Additionally, applicant is expected to add to the financial success of the firm, and will be coached in this as well.
The firm has many procedures, policies and systems which must be followed by all staff in order for 10 people to work together successfully and to maximize firm profits and customer service.

Compensation is small salary plus production which includes signing on new clients of the firm as well as bringing in new business. Training takes approximately 3 months. Applicant should expect the first 3 months to make only base salary because applicant will probably not be meeting with new clients during training period. Prior associates have earned approximately $60,000 in their first year plus health benefits, although there is no guarantees with regard to future success, which will, in part, depend on candidates willingness to role up his/her sleeves. Opportunity to speak with former associate available.
