Sales Attorney for Criminal Defense Firm
About The Position
As a Sales/Intake Attorney, you will be the initial point of contact for individuals in need of legal representation. You will interact directly with clients who are confronting severe criminal charges, evaluate their situations thoroughly, and articulate how Michael & Associates can safeguard their rights and future. This position does not require cold calling; all leads are pre-qualified and are actively seeking legal counsel. Your primary role will be to build trust, convey the firm’s value, and assist prospective clients in navigating the process of engaging our services.
Requirements
- Licensed (or Eligible) Attorney
- To qualify, you must have one of the following:
- An active Tennessee Bar license, or a clear plan to obtain one; or
- An active Bar license from another state for 5+ years, making Tennessee admission straightforward; or
- A Bar license from a state with reciprocity with Tennessee.
- You Love the Phone — Seriously
- We can’t stress this enough: this role is about talking with people all day, every day. If that energizes you, you’ll thrive here. If not, this probably isn’t your ideal fit.
Nice To Haves
- Proven Phone Sales Skills
- You don’t just talk — you connect. You’re friendly, empathetic, and professional, but also confident and persuasive. You can build rapport quickly, handle objections gracefully, and explain legal value clearly. Prior experience in phone-based sales or client consultations is a big plus.
- You Enjoy Consultations and Client Interaction
- You’ll be speaking with potential clients on the phone every day — and we mean a lot. If you don’t genuinely enjoy engaging with people, listening to their stories, and guiding them toward solutions, this isn’t the right role. But if you thrive on meaningful conversations and helping clients take that first step toward peace of mind, you’ll love it here.
Responsibilities
- Conduct daily consultations with roughly 20 qualified leads.
- Build rapport quickly, understand client needs, and secure signed retainers.
- Develop in-depth knowledge of Tennessee criminal law and our firm’s defense strategies.
- Answer client questions confidently and explain our approach in a clear, reassuring manner.
- Support clients who may be anxious or overwhelmed.
- Demonstrate professionalism, patience, and empathy to build trust and confidence.
- Uphold Michael & Associates’ commitment to excellence, advocacy, and white-glove service.
- Set the tone for an exceptional client experience from the very first interaction.
Benefits
- Join a Fast-Growing Firm
- Be part of our Tennessee launch team and help shape a new market for one of the nation’s most ambitious criminal defense firms.
- Clear Career Advancement
- We offer growth opportunities rarely found in small defense firms. Top performers can lead intake teams, manage markets, and take on larger leadership roles as we expand nationwide.
- Innovative, Tech-Savvy Culture
- Harness technology, automation, and continuous improvement to work more efficiently and focus on achieving results.
- Collaborative Team Environment
- Success is shared. Every client benefits from our collective expertise, ensuring you have support and aligned goals every step of the way.
- Make a Meaningful Impact
- From day one, your work directly affects lives—helping clients regain control, hope, and confidence during challenging times.
