About Our Firm

We are a small, close-knit firm of twelve attorneys dedicated to court-appointed criminal defense and juvenile dependency (child abuse and neglect) work. Our culture is informal, collaborative, and flexible — we trust our attorneys to manage their own time and get the job done.

Our office is conveniently located within walking distance of all Washington County courthouse buildings and the jail. Our practice includes:

• Representing court-appointed clients in adult criminal matters
• Representing parents and children in juvenile dependency proceedings
• Conducting client visits at the jail and in homes or foster care placements for children that we represent
• Handling retained work, primarily expungements, with commission earnings in addition to salary
• Learn more about us at www.myfamilyfirm.com.

We are looking for an attorney who will grow into the full range of work our firm handles. Prior experience in criminal defense and/or juvenile law is a plus, but not required — we provide thorough training and mentorship.

You'll start by working alongside our attorneys, gradually taking on supervised court appearances, and moving to independent case assignments when both you and the team feel you're ready.
