Job description

What You'll Do

We're hiring a dedicated, full-time Intake Attorney to be the first voice our VIP referral-source clients hear, and a resource to the firm's intake team.

This is a client-facing, phone-forward role. The people you speak with are already interested in working with us, so your job is to make a great first impression, explain who we are and how we work in plain English, answer their questions honestly, and confirm they want to move forward.

• Be the first point of contact for our VIP referral-source clients, taking their calls promptly so they always reach a real person.
• Run a brief, friendly intake call, usually under ten minutes. Introduce the firm, walk the client through what we do and what comes next, and answer questions clearly and honestly.
• Protect the integrity of every engagement. Clients sign a simple one-page digital agreement, and you confirm you have personally spoken with the named client before the firm countersigns. We never let a client sign blind, and a contract is not valid until the firm countersigns it.
• Serve as a resource to the firm's intake team, lending an attorney's judgment on questions that come up during intake.
• Hand every new matter off cleanly to intake, the case-management team, and the attorney handling the file.
• Bring warmth, empathy, and professionalism to every call. These are people in the middle of a stressful claim, and a great first conversation sets the tone for the whole relationship.

This is a fantastic first role for a newly licensed attorney or recent graduate who is eager to learn, grow, and be part of a dynamic team.

What You Need

• An active license to practice law, in good standing, in any U.S. state. The state you're licensed in does not matter.
• Based within commuting distance of our Metairie, Louisiana office. This role is on-site at the Metairie office for the first 90 days, with hybrid options available after that.
• Excellent phone presence and people skills. You're warm, quick on your feet, and genuinely good with people in a stressful moment.
• Comfort working at pace, taking intake calls as they come in through the day, with natural peaks in the afternoon and early evening.
• Sound judgment, strong ethical instincts, and the honesty to say when you don't know an answer and go find it.
• Fluency in Spanish is a significant plus. A meaningful share of our intake is Spanish-speaking, and a bilingual attorney who can take those calls directly is enormously valuable.
• Willingness to take your turn in a shared on-call rotation that includes evenings and rotational weekends.

What You Get

• Job Type: Full-time, salaried, permanent
• Pay:$60,000
• Location:Metairie, Louisiana. On-site for the first 90 days, then hybrid options available. Must live within commuting distance.
• Benefits:
• Health insurance
• Parental leave
• Professional development assistance
• Other Perks:
• Employee appreciation programs
• A caring leadership with proven trial experience
• Ongoing opportunities to become a thought leader in the industry
• Monthly swag program
• Super high referral bonuses
• No requirement to generate business ever. The clients come to you.
• Way more tech forward than most firms. If you can dream it up, we can hire someone to make it happen.
