Associate Attorney

Toepfer at Law, PLLC

St Cloud, MN

Toepfer at Law, PLLC is seeking an attorney to join our firm. We primarily practice in the realm of family law (divorce, child custody, and other domestic matters presently make up the large majority of our business), but welcome applicants with experience in other areas and a drive to develop their own book of business. The ideal candidate already has some experience in family law.

We are a very technology forward firm. Work from home (or anywhere you feel like with an internet connection and a phone) is a regular occurrence and perk, but please expect to be in office regularly for at least the first couple of months as you learn our systems.

If you are looking for a position where your work will have a massive and direct impact on your client's life, you may be a great fit. If you understand that your paralegal sometimes knows more than you, you may be a great fit. If you are capable of caring *just* enough about your client's file to do a great job without taking their emotions onto yourself, you may be a great fit.

If you think you'd be a great fit, send in an application and let's find out!

Qualifications:

Must be licensed to practice law in the State of Minnesota
There is no minimum experience requirement, but preference will be given to applicants with family law experience. Note - the low end of the stated pay scale assumes a recent graduate with no to minimal experience.
Ability to multitask and manage multiple cases at a time
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Must be comfortable working with clients at the most stressful times of their life
Must have excellent communication skills and be able to write clear and concise legal documents
Must be comfortable in a highly relaxed office environment and be able to focus on work without micro-management

Please note - these job boards require us to list a pay range, but that range is EXTREMELY variable based on experience and other factors. While the minimum listed is accurate, there is potential that for certain candidates the top end may go well beyond what is listed here, especially if you're coming with your own existing stable of cases/clients.

Location: We love having people in office, but want to give you all the tools we can to do work from home if that's easier for your situation. That said, if you do want to target family law for our firm or others, in-person client contact is just one of those non-negotiable things a lot of family court clients are always going to want. They are going through one of the worst moments of their lives, and they often require a lot more hand-holding and 'counseling' than a corporate or business client. Our firm is mostly family law, so even if you're WFH, there are going to be times where you'll need to be able to meet the client.

Benefits:
