Attorney
Join our team at Sudden Wealth Protection Law, where your expertise as an Arizona-licensed attorney will help shape the future of probate, trust, and estate disputes. With over three years of civil litigation experience, you're ready to take on a new challenge, and we're here to support you with structured training and a modern tech stack, including Clio Manage and WealthCounsel. You’ll start with a dynamic mix of active litigation while gradually transitioning to a more non-contested probate caseload. Our commitment to high-quality legal representation and personalized client service means you'll be part of a team dedicated to integrity and expertise.
At Sudden Wealth Protection Law, we're more than just a workplace; we're a community offering not only competitive salaries and bonuses but also a suite of benefits designed to support your well-being and professional growth. Enjoy the security of health, dental, and life insurance, plus the flexibility of a 401(k) and PTO. We invest in your career with CLE, bar dues, and malpractice coverage, and ensure you have the tools to succeed with reasonable billable expectations and supportive staff. Together, let's navigate the complexities of probate law and make a positive impact on clients' lives.
This is a full‑time role with typical hours of 800 a.m. to 500 p.m., Monday–Friday, and can be performed fully remote from anywhere in Arizona, with optional hybrid time in the office, as needed.
What We Offer
- Salary $140,000-$150,000
- Plus performance‑based bonuses tied to billables, collections, and results.
- Reasonable, clearly defined billable expectations and support staff who actually help you hit them.
- Structured probate/trust litigation training, including forms and procedures.
- Modern tech stack (Clio Manage, WealthCounsel, and other best‑in‑class tools) so you can focus on lawyering, not paper‑chasing.
Compensation
$140,000 - $150,000

You Will
- Manage a litigation docket involving will contests, trust disputes, breach of fiduciary duty, and related probate matters.

- Work closely with clients navigating grief, complex family dynamics, and inheritance issues, translating the law into clear next steps.
- Collaborate with a team that uses modern systems and workflows to keep cases moving efficiently (no “organized chaos” file rooms).

- Will contests involving capacity, undue influence, or alleged fraud.
- Trust and estate disputes over trustee misconduct, accounting issues, or distribution fights.
- Contested guardianship or conservatorship proceedings and removal or appointment issues.
- Advice and representation for personal representatives and trustees who are trying to “do it right” and avoid liability.
Qualifications
Who You Are
- Licensed to practice law in Arizona and in good standing.

- Strong writer and oral advocate who is comfortable in the courtroom and with direct client contact.
- Organized, proactive, and able to manage multiple cases and deadlines without dropping balls.
- Emotionally intelligent you can manage conflict, handle upset clients, and keep conversations productive even when family tensions run high.
