Michael & Associates is redefining what it means to be a criminal defense firm in California.
After achieving remarkable success in Texas, we’re now expanding into California, bringing our proven model of innovation, efficiency, and elite client service to the West Coast.
Our mission is to become the largest and most effective defense firm in the nation within three years — while fostering a culture where attorneys thrive personally and professionally, and every client receives top-tier defense and white-glove service.
Why We’re Different
We’re not your traditional defense firm. We’re combining elite courtroom advocacy with cutting-edge innovation — from advanced digital marketing to process automation and data-driven hiring. This forward-thinking approach allows us to reach more clients, deliver a higher standard of service, and build a next-generation legal powerhouse.
About the Role
We’re seeking a seasoned Trial Attorney with extensive experience in the Los Angeles criminal courts — someone who thrives in the courtroom, commands the respect of judges and juries, and has a passion for protecting the rights of the accused.
You’ll take the lead on serious criminal matters, from arraignment through trial, backed by a team of skilled attorneys, investigators, and support staff. This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of criminal defense in California.
What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out
Early Role in a Rapidly Growing Firm
Join a firm that’s scaling fast — and be part of building something extraordinary from the ground up. You’ll have real influence, not just a desk and a caseload.
Room to Grow
We’re creating the kind of advancement opportunities that rarely exist in criminal defense. Whether your goal is leadership, trial mastery, or mentorship, you’ll find a clear path here.
Forward-Thinking Practice
We embrace technology, continuous improvement, and efficiency — not as buzzwords, but as tools that free you to do what you do best: advocate fiercely for your clients.
True Teamwork
