Inside the Department The Guilford County Attorney's Office is a full-service internal law firm dedicated to providing proactive, sound, and ethical legal advice and representation to the Board of County Commissioners, the County Manager, and all County departments and related agencies. The office strives to provide outstanding counsel across the full spectrum of local government law, including litigation, constitutional law, contracts, open meetings, public records, purchasing, property tax assessment and collection, budget and financial procedures, and personnel matters. This robust mandate requires the team to serve a variety of clients with offices in both Greensboro and High Point, where the two courts are located. The Community Founded in 1771, Guilford County is the third-most populous county in North Carolina. Guilford County was named after Francis North, the first Earl of Guilford, and was formed from parts of Rowan and Orange Counties to centralize government and the Courts of Guilford. The Guilford Courthouse became the location of General Nathanial Greene and Lord Cornwallis' famous battle, a turning point in the war, and is still reenacted today. Guilford County, part of the beautiful Piedmont Triad area of north-central North Carolina, includes the cities of Greensboro and High Point and several towns and smaller communities. The County historically served as one of the major manufacturing and transportation hubs of the Southeast, most notably for textiles and furniture, and to this day, it has the largest furnishings trade show in the world, the High Point Furniture Market. With a rich history of anti-slavery activism, Guilford County is a stop on the historic Underground Railroad, a nationally known landmark within the civil rights movement. Abolitionist Levi Coffin noted Guilford College Woods (historically called New Garden Woods) as a refuge for the Underground Railroad, now a protected area. Additionally, historic segregation protests in 1960 happened at the then white-only lunch counter at the Woolworth store in downtown Greensboro. Helping to fuel similar efforts across the nation, the former Woolworth store location is now the site of the International Civil Rights Center and Museum. The County is home to historical sites and institutions and hosts notable recreational and cultural events such as the John Coltrane International Jazz and Blues Festival, the North Carolina Folk Festival, the Wyndham Championship Golf Tournament, the Greensboro Grasshoppers and High Point Rockers baseball teams, and a variety of collegiate events. The public enjoys multiple regional parks within Guilford County and opportunities for camping, fishing, golfing, and other outdoor recreation activities. Guilford County residents benefit from strong educational programs. The County is home to many higher educational institutions, including North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, High Point University, Bennett College, Greensboro College, Guilford College, Elon University School of Law, and Guilford Technical Community College. Guilford County Schools is the third-largest school district in North Carolina and serves 70,000 PK-12 students at more than 120 schools with over 10,000 employees. Guilford's cities and towns are among the top U.S. cities for their low cost of living, almost 10% below the national average. These areas boast friendly, walkable neighborhoods, vibrant social scenes, plenty of cultural attractions, and a central location perfect for enjoying the abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation. A three-hour drive east brings you to the beautiful North Carolina coast, while a three-hour drive west places you on Mount Mitchell in the magnificent North Carolina mountains, the highest point east of the Mississippi River. Compensation and Benefits The expected hiring range is $240,000 - $280,000, depending on qualifications, with excellent benefits. Residency is strongly preferred after appointment. A relocation package and other amenities will be part of the total compensation in an employment agreement. How to Apply Applications will be accepted electronically by Raftelis.
