Public Defender

Responsibilities:

•Represent clients in criminal legal proceedings

Our office is looking for someone to join our team as a district court attorney. If you are someone who knows when to work and when to play, this is the job for you. This office offers the best of both worlds.

We respect and trust each other and we work hard. At the same time, no one wants to work in an office where people are serious 24/7 and where your every move is scrutinized and every hour is tracked, right?! We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we identify as an office full of smart-alecks. We love to joke around - we are not easily offended and if you are, this is not the position for you! There will be no big brother checking in on you; we are adults here.

We are looking for someone who is trustworthy, will do their best for our clients, and have fun with us - balance is important and we understand that here. We want you to enjoy coming to work, so we make this a fun working environment. Here, you can have it all - a fulfilling, interesting, challenging case load AND a fun, relaxing, comfortable office experience. We have something special here - you will never find a job like this anywhere else.
