Philadelphia law firm seeks "sharp dressing" attorney

Family Law,
Legal Malpractice,
Credit Card Law,
Tenant's Rights
and Consumer Protection.

Research skills necessary. No Experience Necessary. Great personality is more important than legal skills. Must be elegant. Must be a sharp dresser. No casuals, please. Photo appreciated, but not required. Please send resume and a short (about 5 pages) writing sample.

Location: Philadelphia
Compensation: Upto $40,000
