Our mission is both ambitious and unequivocal: within three years, we intend to become the largest and most effective criminal defense firm in the nation, while fostering an environment where attorneys can excel both personally and professionally, ensuring that every client receives outstanding representation.
Who We Are
We stand apart from conventional defense firms by uniting top-tier legal expertise with the operational efficiency akin to leading technology firms. By utilizing cutting-edge digital marketing, optimized workflows, and data-informed systems, we provide a first-class, concierge-style experience for our clients. This strategy has positioned us as one of the largest criminal defense firms in Texas, and we are now introducing this groundbreaking model to Tennessee-setting a new benchmark for criminal defense practices.
About the Role
As a Sales/Intake Attorney, you will be the initial point of contact for individuals in need of legal representation. You will interact directly with clients who are confronting severe criminal charges, evaluate their situations thoroughly, and articulate how Michael & Associates can safeguard their rights and future. This position does not require cold calling; all leads are pre-qualified and are actively seeking legal counsel. Your primary role will be to build trust, convey the firm's value, and assist prospective clients in navigating the process of engaging our services.
Key Responsibilities
Engage and Convert
Conduct daily consultations with roughly 20 qualified leads.
Build rapport quickly, understand client needs, and secure signed retainers.
Educate and Advise
Develop in-depth knowledge of Tennessee criminal law and our firm's defense strategies.
Answer client questions confidently and explain our approach in a clear, reassuring manner.
Empathize and Reassure
Support clients who may be anxious or overwhelmed.
Demonstrate professionalism, patience, and empathy to build trust and confidence.

Success is shared. Every client benefits from our collective expertise, ensuring you have support and aligned goals every step of the way.
Make a Meaningful Impact
From day one, your work directly affects lives-helping clients regain control, hope, and confidence during challenging times.
Requirements
You Enjoy Consultations and Client Interaction
You'll be speaking with potential clients on the phone every day - and we mean
a lot
. If you don't genuinely enjoy engaging with people, listening to their stories, and guiding them toward solutions, this isn't the right role. But if you thrive on meaningful conversations and helping clients take that first step toward peace of mind, you'll love it here.
Proven Phone Sales Skills
You don't just talk - you connect. You're friendly, empathetic, and professional, but also confident and persuasive. You can build rapport quickly, handle objections gracefully, and explain legal value clearly. Prior experience in phone-based sales or client consultations is a big plus.
Licensed (or Eligible) Attorney
To qualify, you must have one of the following:
An active Tennessee Bar license, or a clear plan to obtain one; or
An active Bar license from another state for 5+ years, making Tennessee admission straightforward; or
A Bar license from a state with reciprocity with Tennessee.
You Love the Phone - Seriously
