Full time in office position in Grimes, IA for associate attorney with experience interviewing clients and trust drafting.
We are a small firm of one attorney and 4 support staff focused on estate planning, special needs planning, elder law, substitute decision-making, and post death issues drowning under the pressure of our pipeline. The attorney would like to focus more on special needs planning and elder law and is looking for someone who will assist clients with the run-of-the-mill revocable living trust and probate work. This attorney would work fairly autonomously, interact directly with clients in planning and signing, draft documents, and make court appearances for Hearings when needed for guardianship, conservatorship, and/or probate cases.
Our firm does not handle litigation, even within our areas of practice.
Office hours 9 - 5, and as needed to maintain superior client services.

Willing to commit to long term employment in office, in Grimes. This is not a work from home job or a hybrid work from home job.
Already know that you like doing estate planning and work that falls under Chapter 633, and are not just looking around to see what you might want to do for your career.
Able to arrive at work on time for each scheduled work day; able to be mentally focused and productive on work tasks while at work, and interact with other staff and clients in a positive and supportive way avoiding drama and negative energy, for the remainder of the work day.
Have compassion, patience, and be encouraging for those who have disabilities, are neurodiverse, and/or do not fit into traditional social models of sex or gender identity.
Committed to conducting yourself with respect and courtesy towards others at all times, whether on or off the clock. We are a small law firm. Misconduct by a staff member, even outside the office, can ruin the reputation that I have spent over a decade building.
