Attorney at Sudden Wealth Protection Law – Houston, Texas

We are seeking a full‑time Arizona‑licensed attorney (3+ years experience) who wants to build a long‑term niche in probate, trust, and estate disputes. You bring solid civil litigation skills; we provide structured training, modern systems, and a stable docket. You do not need prior probate experience; if you bring solid civil litigation skills, we will teach you the probate and trust side. Over time, we expect this role to evolve into a more non-contested probate caseload, but currently, you will have about 30% in an active litigation docket.

This is a full‑time role with typical hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday–Friday, and can be performed fully remote from anywhere in Arizona, with optional hybrid time in the office, as needed.

What We Offer

• Salary: $150,000
• Plus performance‑based bonuses tied to billables, collections, and results.
• Reasonable, clearly defined billable expectations and support staff who actually help you hit them.
• Structured probate/trust litigation training, including forms and procedures.
• Modern tech stack (Clio Manage, WealthCounsel, and other best‑in‑class tools) so you can focus on lawyering, not paper‑chasing.

$140,000

You Will:

• Manage a litigation docket involving will contests, trust disputes, breach of fiduciary duty, and related probate matters.
• Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and trial briefs; take and defend depositions; appear at hearings, mediations, and trials.
• Work closely with clients navigating grief, complex family dynamics, and inheritance issues, translating the law into clear next steps.
• Collaborate with a team that uses modern systems and workflows to keep cases moving efficiently (no “organized chaos” file rooms).

What You’ll Work On

Examples of matters you might handle:

• Will contests involving capacity, undue influence, or alleged fraud.
• Trust and estate disputes over trustee misconduct, accounting issues, or distribution fights.
• Contested guardianship or conservatorship proceedings and removal or appointment issues.
• Advice and representation for personal representatives and trustees who are trying to “do it right” and avoid liability.

Who You Are

• Licensed to practice law in Arizona and in good standing.
• 3+ years of civil litigation experience (state court motion practice, discovery, and hearings required; trial experience is a plus).
• Strong writer and oral advocate who is comfortable in the courtroom and with direct client contact.
• Organized, proactive, and able to manage multiple cases and deadlines without dropping balls.
• Emotionally intelligent: you can manage conflict, handle upset clients, and keep conversations productive even when family tensions run high.
• Prior probate, trust, or estate experience is a plus but not required—an interest in learning this niche and building a long‑term practice in it is essential.
