Responsibilities

You care as much about how the work is done as the work itself. You think like an owner, treat every matter as a problem to solve, and hold yourself to a standard higher than “good enough.” You're energized by growth and comfortable with change, technology, and continuous learning.

• A capable estate planning & probate attorney: confidently drafting and managing wills, trusts, and estate plans (Level I and Level II) and guiding families through probate and estate administration with clarity and compassion.
• WealthCounsel proficient: you know your way around WealthCounsel / Wealth Docx (or can get up to speed quickly). Familiarity with trust funding and MUPC probate practice is a strong plus.
• AI-forward: you're comfortable using AI and modern legal technology to work faster and better. We run on Clio, Lawmatics, Decision Vault, and AI-driven systems, and we're always improving them.
• A business builder: you bring a business mindset. Existing referral relationships or a partial book of business are a plus, not a requirement — mindset matters more than years.
• A confident presenter: you can host and speak at seminars and workshops (think Wine & Wills, community talks, and educational webinars) that build the practice and serve our community.
• A team leader: you'll manage and develop a paralegal and a Client Success Coordinator, setting clear expectations and following through.
• Always learning: you're coachable, curious, and committed to getting better every quarter.
