Job Description

STOP WAITING. START YOUR FUTURE TODAY.

Passed the California Bar?

Are you working as a volunteer, post-bar law clerk, or temporary attorney while you wait months—or even years—for a permanent public defender position?

Quit waiting. We're ready to hire an Associate Criminal Defense Attorney right now for our Redding office.

You worked too hard to pass the Bar only to spend months or even years waiting for someone else to decide when your career begins.

At Tully & Weiss Attorneys at Law, we believe talented lawyers should be in the courtroom, gaining real experience, trying cases, and making a difference—not sitting on the sidelines hoping for an opening.

For more than 25 years, our firm has defended clients throughout California in cases ranging from homicide and major felonies to white-collar crime. We don't just practice criminal defense—we live it. If you're ambitious, driven, and want to become an exceptional trial lawyer, we'll help you get there.

Why make the move?

Imagine replacing this:

Hours spent sitting in traffic every week.

Sky-high rent and cost of living.

️ Crowded commutes and endless hustle.

With this:

Affordable housing.

Beautiful mountain views.

World-class fishing.

Shasta Lake and Whiskeytown Lake.

Hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, skiing, and Lassen National Park—all just minutes away.

Time to actually enjoy your life after work.

Your legal career shouldn't require sacrificing your quality of life.

What you'll do

⚖️ Handle serious felony cases.

⚖️ Gain real courtroom experience.

⚖️ Conduct jury trials.

⚖️ Work directly with experienced trial attorneys who are committed to helping you become the best lawyer you can be.

What we're looking for

✔ Active California Bar member (or awaiting admission)

✔ Criminal law experience preferred

✔ Strong writing and courtroom skills

✔ Someone who wants to become an outstanding criminal defense trial attorney

What we offer

✔ Competitive salary plus performance bonuses

✔ Health and dental insurance

✔ 401(k) with employer matching

✔ Paid Bar dues and malpractice insurance

✔ CLE support

✔ Gym membership reimbursement

✔ Generous paid time off

✔ 60-day paid sabbatical after seven years of employment

✔ A genuinely supportive team that enjoys practicing law together

This isn't just another job.

It's an opportunity to build a career, enjoy an exceptional quality of life, and make a meaningful difference for people who need someone willing to stand beside them when it matters most.
