About the Company

Small, reputable construction litigation law firm located in N. Dallas seeks 2-7 year attorney with strong litigation skills.

They pay fair (up to 175k) plus they pay 100% of health insurance premiums for employees and covered parking is paid also. They do offer a 401k plan as well.

They are a true "lifestyle" firm if ever there was one.
