Who You Are


You're not looking for "just another job." You want to make a difference -- to stand up in court and stand beside the clients. You thrive in a fast-paced, team-driven environment where excellence, honesty, and accountability aren't optional -- they're expected.



You'll fit right in if you live by our five core values:

Open & Honest

You lead with integrity. You communicate clearly and directly -- with clients, courts, and colleagues -- always telling the truth with professionalism and compassion.

Team First (Wolfpack Mentality)

You know defense is a team sport. You build trust, share credit, and support your colleagues. You lift others up and never let a teammate stand alone.

Take Action

You move with urgency and purpose. You don't wait for someone else to solve the problem -- you step up, take ownership, and get it done.

Play All In

You bring passion and energy to every case. You care deeply about the clients, your craft, and your outcomes -- and you refuse to settle for "good enough."

Get to Yes

You're resourceful, persistent, and creative. You find solutions where others see dead ends. You adapt, innovate, and persevere until justice is served.

$100,000 - $200,000 yearly

Develop and execute customized defense strategies centered on protecting constitutional rights, preserving futures, and delivering life-changing outcomes. Apply trauma-informed, client-centered representation that reflects the RLF mission:

Case Management & Legal Preparation

Take and defend depositions, prepare witnesses, and coordinate expert involvement when necessary. Draft and file high-quality motions, memoranda, pleadings, and briefs that demonstrate legal depth, clarity, and creativity. Maintain proactive communication with clients, co-counsel, opposing counsel, and court personnel to keep cases moving efficiently.

Client Experience & Communication

Build deep trust through transparent, consistent, empathetic communication. Provide realistic, empowering guidance that helps clients make informed decisions during stressful moments. Ensure clients feel valued, heard, respected, and supported throughout their entire journey with RLF. Uphold the RLF commitment to

white-glove service

and

communication excellence

, including timely updates and proactive touchpoints.

Team Collaboration & Culture Leadership

RLF Standard

and embody the firm's core values in all behavior, decision-making, and interactions. Foster a culture of positivity, accountability, ownership, and excellence.

Continuous Improvement & Professional Growth
