Dui & Criminal Defense Attorney

Job Description

Job Description

At Dohman Law Group, we do more than defend cases; we help people rebuild their lives.

For more than 40 years, our firm has been a trusted advocate for individuals facing DUI, traffic, and criminal charges throughout the Chicagoland area. We understand that one mistake, one accusation, or one difficult chapter should not define a person's future. That's why we are committed to providing strategic, aggressive, and compassionate representation that helps clients move forward with confidence.

As a growing and highly respected criminal defense firm, we combine decades of experience with a modern, client-focused approach. With offices in Rolling Meadows and Wheaton, we serve clients across the greater Chicago area and continue to expand our impact throughout the region.

About the Role

Dohman Law Group is seeking a Criminal Defense Attorney to join our team in either our Rolling Meadows or Wheaton office.

This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who enjoys litigation, courtroom advocacy, and client representation. You'll manage a steady caseload of DUI, traffic, and criminal defense matters while working alongside a team that values preparation, collaboration, and exceptional client service.

This is a production-focused position. We want our attorneys focused on practicing law, achieving results, and serving clients—not generating business. If you're looking for a role where you can spend your time litigating cases, appearing in court, negotiating favorable outcomes, and developing your legal skills, this position offers exactly that.

Compensation & Benefits:

Salary range: $115,000, depending on experience. Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, 401(k) options, and a generous paid time off policy. An environment that promotes teamwork, mentorship, and career progression, including ongoing professional development.
