Description

JusticeDirect Law Firm LLC, an innovative tech-centered ABS law firm, is looking for a fully remote and part-time contract attorney to assist with evictions for landlords in Arizona. You will be pivotal in launching a new practice area within our law firm focused on landlord-tenant disputes. In addition to handling client matters, you will provide critical input on developing our technology platform, ensuring it effectively supports the eviction process from start to finish. You will work closely with legal, product, and engineering teams to translate legal workflows into scalable technology. Join us at a fast-growing, tech-enabled law firm where you can help build a brand-new practice area's legal and technological backbone.

Why Work at JusticeDirect

JusticeDirect is a fully remote tech-enabled law firm that provides flexible hours and malpractice insurance for part-time attorneys. We design advanced software that lowers the cost of legal services, making quality representation affordable for people usually priced out of traditional law firms. Your ideas will shape the systems, workflows, and tools that power our eviction solutions and expand clients' access to justice.

Responsibilities

• Represent landlords in Arizona’s residential evictions—handle pre-litigation compliance, prepare and file complaints, and conduct virtual court appearances, with only occasional in-person hearings as needed.
• Provide legal advice and guidance to clients throughout the eviction process, balancing legal accuracy with practical solutions.
• Draft and review legal documents such as notices to vacate, complaints, stipulations, and writs of restitution.
• Conduct legal research to deepen your expertise in Arizona landlord-tenant law.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of Arizona landlord-tenant laws and local court procedures.
• Collaborate with our Customer Experience and Product teams to identify legal requirements, user pain points, and opportunities to improve our eviction workflows.
• Help develop legal content such as FAQs, plain-English guides, and document templates for client and internal use.
• Ensure all client interactions and legal services comply with the Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct.
• Provide supervision or support to non-attorney team members as needed.

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active license to practice law in Arizona.
• At least 1-2 years of experience handling eviction-related legal matters.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including explaining legal concepts to non-lawyers.
• Strong drafting skills and attention to detail in preparing legal documents.
• Ability to manage a high-volume caseload independently and efficiently.
• Interest in technology and innovation within the legal space.
• Comfort working in a startup or high-growth environment with evolving priorities.

Work Environment & Benefits

• This is an hourly contractor position, with the possibility of being converted to full-time employment as case volume grows.
• Fully remote with flexible hours.
• You must be available for Arizona eviction hearings occasionally held in person.
• Salary range
  • Eviction cases: $250 - $350 per case
  • Consulting outside of casework: $75 - $90 per hour
• Opportunity to help shape a new legal vertical from the ground up, both in terms of client service and the technology that supports it.
• Malpractice coverage provided.

Interview Process

• The interview will be a three-stage process with different members of the law firm leadership.
