Senior Criminal Defense Attorney

Criminal Defense Associate (7+ Years Felony Experience Necessary)

The Nieves Law Firm is focused on fostering trusting relationships with its clientele. Driven by integrity and an unrelenting commitment to success, our mission is to deliver superior results by combining bold strategies, careful preparation, and transparent communication. We aim to allow each defendant to reconstruct their reputation while planning for the future.

We are seeking a full-time senior attorney with over 7 years of criminal defense experience. The candidate's experience must be specifically in criminal defense — experience in other law practices will not count toward the minimum requirements.

Applicants must possess felony experience in writing motions, attending preliminary hearings, and conducting felony trials. The successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate a superior standard of work and exhibit passionate advocacy for each of their clients. We are looking for enthusiastic and successful people.

Compensation and benefits include base salary plus contributions to health/dental/vision plans, 401(k), mileage reimbursement, use of company car, bar dues, malpractice insurance, parking, student loan assistance, and other bonuses and benefits.

Admission to the California Bar and the ability to attend court in the Bay Area are a must for this position.

Applicants who possess a second language skill are especially encouraged to apply.
