Estate Planning & Probate Attorney

Job Description

Job Description

At Martino Law Group, LLC, you’ll have the chance to truly build your practice, not just bill hours. As an Estate Planning & Probate Attorney, you’ll manage and expand our estate planning and probate practice, working closely with an experienced paralegal and client success coordinator. We’re all about empowering you to own client relationships, lead your own matters, and play a key role in shaping our practice as it scales. Our firm values outcomes over hours, offering you the autonomy and growth you’re seeking, with a real path to advancement as we work toward our vision for 2028.

Join a team where you’re supported by a paralegal, client success coordinator, and robust firm-wide systems. You’ll benefit from a steady stream of leads and referrals, plus the synergy with our family law, business law, real estate, and probate practices. We foster a collaborative and values-driven culture, with leadership development and mentorship at its core. Compensation is competitive, with on-target earnings ranging from $90,000 to $150,000+, including a base salary and opportunities for bonuses and profit-sharing. If you’re ready to make a meaningful impact and grow with us, we’d love to talk. Compensation:

$90,000 - $150,000+ OTE

Responsibilities:

You care as much about how the work is done as the work itself. You think like an owner, treat every matter as a problem to solve, and hold yourself to a standard higher than “good enough.” You're energized by growth and comfortable with change, technology, and continuous learning.

Responsibilities Include:

• A capable estate planning & probate attorney: confidently drafting and managing wills, trusts, and estate plans (Level I and Level II) and guiding families through probate and estate administration with clarity and compassion.

• WealthCounsel proficient: you know your way around WealthCounsel / Wealth Docx (or can get up to speed quickly). Familiarity with trust funding and MUPC probate practice is a strong plus.

• AI-forward: you're comfortable using AI and modern legal technology to work faster and better. We run on Clio, Lawmatics, Decision Vault, and AI-driven systems, and we're always improving them.

• A business builder: you bring a business mindset. Existing referral relationships or a partial book of business are a plus, not a requirement — mindset matters more than years.

• A confident presenter: you can host and speak at seminars and workshops (think Wine & Wills, community talks, and educational webinars) that build the practice and serve our community.

• A team leader: you'll manage and develop a paralegal and a Client Success Coordinator, setting clear expectations and following through.

• Always learning: you're coachable, curious, and committed to getting better every quarter.

Qualifications:

• Experience in estate planning and probate law, with a focus on drafting and managing wills, trusts, and estate plans.

• Proficiency in WealthCounsel / Wealth Docx, or a willingness to quickly become proficient, is essential.

• Ability to leverage AI and modern legal technology, including Clio, Lawmatics, and Decision Vault, to enhance efficiency and service delivery.

• Proven track record of building and maintaining client relationships, with a business mindset that drives business growth.

• Strong presentation skills, capable of hosting seminars and workshops that engage and educate the community.

• Leadership experience in managing and developing team members, setting clear expectations, and ensuring follow-through.

• Commitment to continuous learning and professional development, with a coachable and curious attitude.
