Criminal Attorney

Overview

We are seeking a Criminal Attorney to join a local law firm in Milwaukee for a direct hire.

Target Pay : $75,000 - 100,000 plus bonuses

Junior Attorneys do have KPIs and case velocity; they cannot let cases drag out forever.

Most firms have a higher workload and longer hours, but this firm emphasizes quality of life with more balanced hours.

There is a private bar focus with a flat fee arrangement, so there are no hourly billables to be accountable for.

Compensation and Workload

The firm reports a case load of 65 cases (private bar) with flat fees; not hourly billing. In comparison to some public settings where prosecutors handle 80-100+ cases or more, this firm's model emphasizes different KPIs.

Typical attorneys work 35-40 hours per week on average; jury trials may extend this, but that represents only 1-2% of cases.

Net all-in compensation could easily reach $150k+ with bonuses.

Compensation Details

Base : $70,000 - $100,000

Bonuses : Generate your own business; signing leads provided by the company can increase earnings. If you generate your own leads, you will earn more. If you collect on fees from cases, you will earn more.

Profit sharing may be available if the division and branch perform well, evaluated based on the level of the person coming in.

Training and Career Development

The firm trains and invests in its attorneys with processes, training scenarios, and senior attorneys who can learn from ex-prosecutors.

Company Description
