Denver attorney wanted for "a very unique position"

Thanks to the reader who sent this job opportunity to us this. Job highlights:  "Being athletic is ... preferred. We do not advocate a lot of prescription drug use ...  The right attorney for this career will have to be willing to work on advertising and bring advertising experience with them ... The office is little and shared ...  The attorney we hire will not be hateful and spiteful to his/her staff ... We do require someone with at least five years experience as an attorney ... Compensation: $2000.00 (Winter) - $6000.00 (Summer)"...

This is unique position. You will be the only attorney who oversees the work performed. You will have to be responsible. You will be responsible for COLTAF funds and paying billing cycle as work is performed. This will not include disparaging comments to colleagues. The attorney who needs this career will be humane and gifted and sharing and caring. We need someone who loves what they do and is not the only one who is right. The attorney we are looking for is experienced at knowing their is talent and knowledge in everyone, not just them. Narcicistic leadership is troublesome and can cause to much hatred. Hence, we need an attorney who is willing to understand both sides and not only theirs. We need some selflessness and some selfishness, but an even balance of the two, not just someone into themselves. These are important characteristics. Just because everyone needs and wants a career, but they do not need to be constantly wrong to keep it. We need someone with compassion and direct effect.

This position is open for an attorney only. Being athletic is not required but preferred. Being a morning person will increase your chances at working here. You will also be required to pass a drug and alcohol screening. We do not advocate a lot of prescription drug use either.

The right attorney for this career will have to be willing to work on advertising and bring advertising experience with them.

The attorney we hire will not be hateful and spiteful to his/her staff. He/She will have tact, skill and grace. This position requires a high level of etiquette. We need an attorney who cares about the clients and understands, does not yell or act disgruntled by phone calls from clients and colleagues.

This position will be filled by an attorney who knows that they love what they do, has extra-curricular activities to help during the slow season. This attorney must be trustworthy, personable, and have the right attire for the occassion. Not always a suit and tie, however some.

COLTAF funds need to be distributed appropriately, but not so pinch penny that they are not even distributed at all for work that employees perform. Arguments and troublesome behavior over money that is earned and billed needs to be paid comfortably, our staff does not wish to fight like a third world country to be paid, and treated poorly and not worthy of funds earned. We are liberal and not conservative. Monies paid to staff are at times are large sums. We need an attorney who encourages business and building business, not setting limits because they have an adjusted student loan or low income housing or something that they are trying to accomplish other then helping their firm increase into something successful.

The office is little and shared. We are trying to build someone who is willing to help and loves what they do. Why? We wish to move into a bigger office with more room and we need a leader who is willing to work with us, not at us. We do not encourage or allow for meeting clients in homes or coffee houses, as this is against the code of conduct. Are you a man or a woman? We do not discriminate.

Also, we do require someone with at least five years experience as an attorney. We need an attorney who is seasoned in the field of law, we handle Bankruptcy, Divorce, Criminal, DUI, Traffic, Civil and other fields. We do not specialize.

Bilingual is helpful, not necessary.

Entry-level attorney jobs in California's Bay Area

Every few months, this firm seems to advertise for entry-level lawyers on Craigslist. The good news is they've upped pay from $9 per hour to a whopping $14-$18 per hour! We would say don't spend it all in one place. But that might prove difficult in a pricey place like the San Francisco area. 

We are a small but fast growing law firm in Mountain View California. We now represent more than 13,000 clients, many of which are startups and small businesses across the United States. We want to ensure that we regularly communicate with each of our clients, and that we have a process in place to make sure that our existing clients are happy with our services and have an attorney with whom they can regularly speak.

As such, we are looking for three Client Relations Attorneys to join our growing team. You must have excellent client relations/customer service skills, and must be able to put the needs of our clients first. You must be licensed to practice law in at least one U.S. state, and must be courtious and diligent. Must be personable, a team player, and must be patient with clients.

This is an Entry level position, and is an excellent opportunity for a recent law graduate who has passed a State Bar (California or another state) to grow with our law firm. You will gain experience directly working with and managing our existing clients in a professional and courtious manner, and get a chance to join the ground floor of a fast growing law firm. Initially, the majority of your time will involve serving as a non-bilalble Client Relations attorney, but you will also get opportunities to help on billable matters at our firm as our requirements increase.

Compensation: Small base non-billable client relations work - $14 to $18/hr to start
