Thank you for your interest in joining the Pride! 

Most law offices with more than one attorney are in a commission based arrangement.

This means the lawyers are really independent with no oversight and simply share a name or expenses. It means that attorneys that work there are responsible to bring in their own clients, handle their own billing, etc. 

Not at Lion Legal! All of our attorneys and staff are salaried employees of the firm. Our team approach to practicing is critically important to provide consistency across our client-oriented legal practice. It allows us to communicate well with clients, have time to prepare for court, depend and rely on each other, 

 If only one lawyer is working your case or has any idea what’s going on in your matter, what happens when that lawyer is on vacation? in court? sick? Or worse, dies? As an employee, the stress of returning from vacation days, PTO, or days in court is not compounded by a mountain of work that didn’t get done while you were gone – because of our dynamic team approach.  

We all have different strengths and we are huge believers in having the right person for each task! This allows us to achieve the best result and ensure the smoothest process for clients and the most pleasant enjoyable working environment for our team – satisfied and appreciated lawyers and paralegals equals satisfied and appreciated clients.
