Description
About the Role
We are seeking a Texas-barred Attorney with 2–10 years of experience who is a strong executor and problem solver. This is not a purely academic litigation role. We are looking for a high-output, detail-oriented attorney who enjoys doing the work — preparing cases, negotiating reductions, managing deadlines, and consistently delivering results for clients. While Property Tax Law experience is preferred, it is not required to be hired and the firm will train sucessful candidates on the topic. The right candidate is confident in hearings, organized under pressure during protest season, and comfortable managing a meaningful caseload independently.

- Advise clients regarding exemptions and special valuations
Litigation & Appeals
- Handle property tax litigation and appeals at district and county levels
- Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and settlement agreements
- Represent clients in hearings, mediations, and court proceedings

Case & Client Management
- Manage multiple matters simultaneously during peak protest season
- Communicate clearly with clients regarding strategy and outcomes

- Collaborate with administrative staff for efficient case processing
Required Qualifications
- Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school
- Licensed and in good standing with the State Bar of Texas

Preferred Experience - Direct experience handling ARB hearings
