Direct Client Contact: Be the lead advisor for clients during their most critical transitions. Qualifications: Who You Are: Licensed to practice law in New Mexico. Experienced: Ideally 2-5 years in Real Estate or Probate, but we value competence and character over a specific year count. Detail-Oriented: You take pride in "bulletproof" drafting. You're the person who catches the typo in the legal description that everyone else missed. Systems-Minded: You enjoy using technology to work smarter, not harder. About Company Why Join Us? No More "Collections Stress": Our replenishing retainer policy means we are paid upfront. You focus on the work; we've already handled the cash flow. Administrative Freedom: With a 6-person support staff, you aren't filing your own documents or chasing down phone numbers. Modern Work-Life: We offer hybrid/remote flexibility.
