Criminal Defense Lawyer — Michael & Associates

About Us
Michael & Associates is a modern, forward-thinking criminal defense firm seeking experienced Criminal Defense Lawyers to join our expanding team. From day one, we’ve reimagined traditional defense practice by leveraging innovative, technology-driven strategies to create a more efficient, transparent, and client-centered experience.

At the heart of our work is an unwavering commitment to client care — built on strong relationships, open communication, and exceptional service at every stage of the legal process.

Why This Role Stands Out 1. Focus Exclusively on Practicing Law

We didn’t become lawyers to handle accounting, marketing, or collections — we became lawyers to advocate for clients and win in the courtroom.
At Michael & Associates, that’s exactly what you’ll do.

Our infrastructure allows you to focus on what truly matters: achieving exceptional outcomes for clients.
You’ll benefit from:

  • A 5:1 support staff-to-trial attorney ratio
  • A dedicated intake team — no onboarding or sales responsibilities
  • A full-time legal assistant assigned to every attorney
  • Specialized teams for ALRs, ODLs, billing, and admin functions
  • ALR hearings handled by seasoned specialists
  • Strategic case assignments that minimize travel and match your expertise
  • Remote work flexibility when not in court — spend time serving clients, not sitting in traffic

Our systems are built so you can practice law at the highest level — without distractions.

2. Real Opportunities for Growth

In many defense roles, career growth has limits — but not here.
At Michael & Associates, attorneys can:

  • Advance their careers without leaving the courtroom
  • Pursue new opportunities in leadership, mentorship, or specialized practice areas
  • Join a rapidly expanding firm with a clear national growth trajectory

We’re building a place where defense attorneys can grow, lead, and thrive.

3. Competitive Compensation & Benefits

We value our attorneys and back that up with a comprehensive compensation package , including:

  • Strong base salary with substantial bonuses tied to client satisfaction
  • Work-from-home flexibility when not in court
  • Mileage reimbursement for extended travel
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Fully covered CLEs and bar dues

4. Collaborate with Top-Tier Talent

We hire only the top 10% of defense attorneys — no junior associates or entry-level hires.
Our lawyers average 10+ years of experience , and collaboration is central to our culture.
Here, you’ll work alongside exceptional peers who elevate your practice, not compete with it.

Clients benefit from the collective expertise of our team, and attorneys thrive in a supportive, high-performance environment.

5. Be Part of a Visionary Growth Story

Michael & Associates is already a major force in Texas — and we’re not stopping there.
Our bold goal: to become the first nationwide criminal defense brand.
Join us at this exciting stage of expansion and help shape the future of criminal defense across the country.

6. A Modern, Forward-Thinking Firm

We embrace progress where others resist it. Our team thrives on:

  • Technology that streamlines legal work
  • Continuous process improvement
  • Data-driven decision-making
  • Innovation that benefits both clients and attorneys

If you value efficiency, innovation, and modern tools, you’ll feel at home here.

7. Make a Real Difference

Criminal defense is personal — for our clients and for us.
We provide concierge-level, high-touch service and approach every case with empathy and dedication.
Our impact is real — reflected in our exceptional client outcomes and glowing reviews.

8. Premium Practice, Manageable Caseload

We are a premium firm , and our pricing reflects the quality of service we provide.
That means:

  • Fewer cases per attorney
  • Higher standards of care
  • Better client outcomes

You’ll have the time, support, and resources to deliver your best work — every time.

In Summary

If you’re an ambitious attorney ready to help redefine what criminal defense can be — for both clients and lawyers — we want to talk to you.

P.S. Know someone who’d be a great fit? We offer a $5,000 referral bonus for successful attorney hires (conditions apply).

Requirements

  • At least 7 years of experience in criminal defense - no junior lawyers here.
  • You are a Zealous Advocate - you fight for the best outcome for every single client
  • Located in the San Antonio area
