CIVIL RIGHTS TRIAL ATTORNEY

Dallas, Texas

Are you fulfilled when you help the underdog and right wrongs?

Are you a natural motivator and effective communicator who knows how to quickly connect with people, establish rapport and adapt to any group or situation?

Can you be counted on to be self-disciplined and incredibly productive, work well under pressure, handle fast paced settings, and do things swiftly and efficiently?

Are you practical, able to make a few adjustments when needed and solve the problem.

Final question: Do you never give up?

At the Sanford Firm we are on a mission to change the world one case at a time. Last year the firm obtained the largest single plaintiff employment discrimination jury verdict in the U.S. We believe we have the greatest impact for good in the workforce by enforcing the law. In short: We are trial lawyers who exclusively represent wrongfully terminated or harassed employees.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, have a passion for helping employees, and are excited to try high stakes cases, you might be the perfect fit for our team.

As a member of our trial team, you will leverage a combination of skills upon which you will continue to build to achieve tremendous results for the people we represent. You’ll be a sage, a champion, and a trusted advisor.
