Criminal Defense Lawyer | Michael & Associates

At Michael & Associates, we are redefining criminal defense by integrating cutting-edge technology, streamlined workflows, and a steadfast dedication to enhancing the client experience. Our goal is bold: to establish a groundbreaking standard in legal advocacy that surpasses what typical firms offer.

We are seeking passionate Criminal Defense Attorneys who are motivated not merely by a job, but by the drive to create a significant impact. Here, you will move beyond conventional approaches and excel in an environment designed for optimal performance. From day one, you will be supported by a committed team that values transparency, efficiency, and outstanding results—enabling you to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional advocacy, managing your cases with expertise, and guiding clients through every stage with clear and consistent communication.

Why You’ll Love This Role

1. Focus on What Matters Most—Practicing Law
At Michael & Associates, you can dedicate your time to advocacy—not administrative work. Our infrastructure supports you with:

  • A 5:1 staff-to-trial attorney ratio
  • A dedicated intake team (no sales responsibilities)
  • A full-time legal assistant per attorney
  • Specialized teams for ALRs, ODLs, billing, and administration
  • Expert-managed ALR hearings
  • Strategic case assignments to reduce travel and align with your strengths
  • Remote work flexibility when not in court

Our systems are built to help you perform at your highest level—without distractions.

2. Meaningful Career Growth
This is a role without a ceiling. You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Advance while continuing courtroom practice
  • Step into leadership, mentorship, or specialized roles
  • Grow with a firm on a national expansion path

3. Competitive Compensation & Benefits
We offer a strong package designed to support and reward you:

  • Competitive base salary with performance bonuses tied to client satisfaction
  • Flexible remote work options
  • Mileage reimbursement for extended travel
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Fully covered CLEs and bar dues

4. Work Alongside Top Talent
We hire only highly experienced attorneys (top 10%), with an average of 10+ years in practice. Collaboration—not competition—is central to our culture, ensuring better outcomes and a more rewarding work environment.

5. Be Part of a High-Growth Vision
Already a leading firm in Texas, Michael & Associates is expanding nationwide with the goal of becoming the first recognized national criminal defense brand. This is your chance to contribute to that growth.

6. A Forward-Thinking Firm
We embrace innovation through:

  • Technology that streamlines legal workflows
  • Data-driven decision-making
  • Continuous process improvement

7. Make a Real Impact
Our work is deeply personal. We provide high-touch, client-focused service grounded in empathy, diligence, and results—reflected in strong client outcomes and feedback.

8. Premium Practice with Manageable Caseloads
As a premium firm, we ensure:

  • Lower caseloads per attorney
  • Higher standards of care
  • Better overall outcomes

You’ll have the time and resources to consistently deliver your best work.

In Summary

If you’re an ambitious attorney ready to help redefine criminal defense—for both clients and legal professionals—we’d love to connect.

P.S. We offer a $5,000 referral bonus for successful attorney hires (terms apply).

Requirements

  • At least 7 years of experience in criminal defense - no junior lawyers here.
  • You are a Zealous Advocate - you fight for the best outcome for every single client
  • Located in the San Antonio area
