Our lawyers average over a decade of experience, and collaboration is at the heart of our culture. Clients benefit from the collective strength of our entire team, and attorneys thrive in a *supportive, high-performance environment*-not as lone wolves. *5. **Be Part of a Visionary Growth Story*** We're already a major force in Texas, and our goal is bold: *To become the first nationwide criminal defense brand.* This is your opportunity to join a firm at an exciting growth stage and help shape the future of criminal defense on a national scale. *6. **A Modern, Forward-Thinking Firm*** The legal industry is often slow to adapt-we're not.
