Trial Attorney – Criminal Defense | Michael & Associates, Los Angeles, CA
Michael & Associates is revolutionizing criminal defense in California. Building on our proven achievements in Texas, we are expanding our presence to the West Coast, with the goal of delivering outstanding client service and operational excellence across Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.
Our ambitions are significant: over the next three years, we aim to become the largest and most effective criminal defense firm in the country. Simultaneously, we are dedicated to fostering a supportive environment that promotes both the professional growth and personal well-being of our attorneys, while consistently offering exceptional advocacy and unmatched service to every client.
Why We’re Different
We are redefining the conventional defense law firm framework by merging outstanding courtroom advocacy with cutting-edge technological advancements. By leveraging digital marketing, automation, and data-driven recruitment methods, we broaden our impact, enhance our outcomes, and cultivate a progressive, innovative legal practice.
About the Role
We seek a highly esteemed Trial Attorney, well-recognized within the criminal courts of Los Angeles—an individual who commands authority in the courtroom, connects effectively with juries, and is passionately dedicated to defending the rights of the accused.
In this role, you will lead significant criminal cases from arraignment through trial, supported by a talented team of attorneys, investigators, and support personnel. This opportunity offers a distinctive chance to significantly influence the future of criminal defense in California.

Innovation That Supports Your Success
We leverage technology, efficiency, and continuous improvement not as buzzwords, but as tools to help you focus on what matters most: serving your clients exceptionally well.
A Team That Lifts Everyone
Collaboration is at the heart of every case. Our attorneys challenge, support, and elevate one another to achieve the highest standards of legal excellence.
