Estate Planning Attorney

Job Description

Job Description

Did you get the bonus you deserved?

The end of the year is when we find out whether our employer values our contribution – and how much they are willing to pay for it. This is usually a small group of Partners in a private meeting who glance at the numbers then divvy up bonus money based on their personal feelings and other 'un-measurable' factors. Basically how much they like you.

Elville and Associates is different.

We are looking for talent. When we find it, we recognize it and pay for it. There are no discretionary bonuses. Your compensation is transparent and exactly aligned with your contribution. If you contribute more, you get more.

It's that simple.

We are looking to hire a few serious, professional attorneys in Estate and Trust Administration, Elder Law, and Estate Planning and Special Needs. If you are an experienced, driven attorney who wants an opportunity to work for a top‑flight firm that values you then let us know. We want you and are not afraid to pay you what you are worth.

Salary: $135,000 - $265,000 or more – it's all based on what you do.
