Trial Attorney – Criminal Defense | Michael & Associates, Los Angeles, CA

Michael & Associates is transforming criminal defense in California. Building on our proven success in Texas, we are expanding to the West Coast and bringing our model of operational excellence and superior client service to Los Angeles and surrounding areas.

Our goal is ambitious: within three years, we intend to become the largest and most effective criminal defense firm in the nation. At the same time, we are committed to creating an environment where attorneys can excel both professionally and personally—while delivering exceptional advocacy and elite-level service to every client.

Why We're Different

We are transforming the traditional defense law firm model by integrating exceptional courtroom representation with state-of-the-art technological innovations. Utilizing digital marketing, automation, and data-driven recruitment strategies, we expand our reach, improve our results, and foster a modern, forward-thinking legal practice.

About the Role

We are in search of a distinguished Trial Attorney who is well-respected in the criminal courts of Los Angeles—someone who commands respect in the courtroom, effectively engages with juries, and is deeply committed to advocating for the rights of the accused.

In this position, you will take the lead on major criminal cases from arraignment through trial, backed by a highly skilled team of attorneys, investigators, and support staff. This is a unique chance to play an influential role in shaping the future of criminal defense in California.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Kickstart Your Career at a Fast-Growing Firm
Join us at the ground level and help shape something extraordinary. Your role goes beyond routine tasks—you'll have a tangible impact from day one.

Clear Paths for Growth and Leadership
We offer advancement opportunities that are rare in criminal defense. Whether your goal is to lead, sharpen trial skills, or mentor others, your career path is clear and achievable.

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.

Make a Meaningful Impact Every Day
Guide clients through their most difficult moments and deliver results that truly matter. Our firm is recognized for combining zealous advocacy with empathy and professionalism.

Requirements
  • Based in California, with deep roots in the state's criminal defense community
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience practicing criminal defense law and advocating for clients in California courts
  • Active member of the California Bar, ready to make an immediate impact in a fast-growing, innovative firm
