Intake Attorney

Full Time AM Orange County, Newport Beach, CA, US

2 days ago Requisition ID: 2121

Salary Range: $100,000.00 To $140,000.00 Annually

Full-Time | In-Person | [Temecula, CA]
Base Salary + Significant Performance-Based Bonuses

Antonyan Miranda, LLP is seeking an experienced attorney who understands litigation—but may be ready to step away from the day-to-day demands of carrying a traditional caseload.

This role is ideal for a family law or litigation attorney who enjoys working with clients, analyzing cases, developing strategy, and building relationships, but no longer wants the constant pressure of discovery deadlines, motion practice, trial preparation, and managing a full litigation docket.

You will use your legal experience to consult with prospective clients, understand their matters, identify strategy and case fit, and connect them with the right litigation team.

Instead, your focus is on client consultation, case assessment, relationship building, and helping prospective clients determine whether Antonyan Miranda is the right firm for them.

What You’ll Do

Consult with prospective family law clients by phone, video, and in person

Quickly understand the legal issues, personalities, goals, and complexity of each matter

Use your litigation experience to identify case needs and appropriate next steps

Build trust and rapport with prospective clients

Explain the firm’s approach, attorneys, retainers, and engagement process

Match clients with the right litigator based on complexity, strategy, personality, and budget

Coordinate strategic consultations with firm litigators when appropriate

Follow up with qualified prospective clients and guide them through retention

Ensure a seamless handoff to the litigation team

Deliver a five-star client experience from the first interaction

The Ideal Candidate

You may be a great fit if you:

Have practiced family law, civil litigation, or another litigation-focused area

Understand how litigation works and can quickly evaluate a case

Are ready for a role with less day-to-day litigation pressure and greater predictability

Enjoy talking to clients and helping them make important decisions

Are polished, confident, persuasive, and highly personable

Build trust quickly

Have strong judgment and emotional intelligence

Are comfortable discussing fees and asking prospective clients to move forward

Enjoy the business-development side of practicing law

Want to remain in a sophisticated legal environment without carrying a traditional litigation caseload

Compensation

The position includes a competitive base salary plus a significant performance-based bonus program tied to successful new-client engagements.

High performers can earn substantial bonus compensation, creating significant upside without the traditional billable-hour and litigation demands of a practicing litigator.

Why This Role Is Different

You still get to use the skills you developed as a lawyer: issue spotting, strategy, judgment, persuasion, and client counseling without spending your days responding to discovery, drafting motions, preparing for hearings, and managing dozens of active cases.

For the right attorney, this is an opportunity to stay connected to sophisticated legal work while having a more predictable and sustainable day-to-day role.

Requirements

Prior family law or litigation experience strongly preferred

Excellent verbal communication and interpersonal skills

Strong legal judgment and issue-spotting ability

Professional and polished presence

Highly responsive, organized, and accountable

Comfortable in a performance-driven environment

Spanish fluency is a plus, but not required.

Medical, dental, and vision coverage

401(k) match

Paid time off

If you are an experienced litigator who still enjoys the people, strategy, and counseling side of practicing law, but are ready to leave behind the daily grind of managing a litigation caseload we would like to meet you.
