Job Description
️Associate Attorney Criminal & Civil Litigation
Location: Wichita, Kansas (Relocation Assistance Available)
Salary Range: $90,000 - $120,000 (DOE)
Start Date: Flexible for the right candidate
About the Role
HireNow Staffing is seeking an Associate Attorney on behalf of a rapidly growing and impact-focused law firm in Wichita, Kansas . This isn't just a job it's an opportunity to do deeply meaningful work in a high-volume litigation environment that champions justice for clients impacted by addiction, mental health challenges, or socioeconomic hardship.
The firm takes a trauma-informed approach to criminal and civil cases, with a caseload that spans criminal defense, family disputes, employment matters, and public interest litigation. With more than 1,200 active cases per year, this team is purpose-built for attorneys who are ready to fight for vulnerable populations and disrupt the status quo.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This isn't your average firm. You'll be surrounded by seasoned litigators, many of whom bring experience from public defense, prosecution, military JAG corps, and social justice law. You'll have the resources and mentorship to thrive while contributing to real reform.
Your Core Responsibilities
Litigation & Courtroom Advocacy : Represent clients in criminal defense and civil proceedings, including preliminary hearings, motions, and trials.
Client-Centered Counsel : Provide compassionate, strategic legal advice to individuals navigating complex, often traumatic, circumstances.
Case Strategy & Preparation : Draft pleadings, legal motions, and briefs; conduct discovery and prepare for hearings or settlement negotiations.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration : Partner with community stakeholders, treatment professionals, and social service providers as part of a holistic legal strategy.
Justice Reform Contribution : Support the firm's mission to promote equitable legal outcomes through trauma-informed and culturally competent representation.
Ideal Background
We're looking for attorneys who want more than a title. You want to serve, advocate, and lead in one of the most critical intersections of law and public health.
Preferred Experience & Qualities:
2+ years in litigation criminal defense, prosecution, or public defender roles highly preferred
Experience working with individuals affected by substance use, mental health, or trauma
Attorneys with military service (JAG or equivalent) or government agency work are strongly encouraged to apply
Admission to the Kansas Bar (or eligibility and willingness to pursue Kansas licensure)
Strong legal writing, courtroom advocacy, and case management skills
Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-caseload environments
A heart for public service and commitment to restorative justice
Relocation & Licensing
Attorneys with 5+ years of practice in any U.S. jurisdiction can become quickly licensed in Kansas
Relocation expenses are available especially for those moving from out-of-state
Wichita offers a low cost of living , thriving legal community, and a deeply rooted culture of public service
Who This Role Is For
This is a great fit for:
Public Defenders ready for a new kind of impact
Former Prosecutors looking to pivot to more client-focused work
Civil litigators with a heart for mental health, addiction advocacy, or systemic reform
Veterans or military-trained attorneys with litigation experience
Attorneys burned out by the grind, but still committed to justice
To Apply
Send your resume and a short summary explaining your litigation background and why this mission speaks to you. All applications are kept confidential.
