When was the last time you enjoyed being a lawyer? Felt fulfilled in your work? Are you part of a winning team with a law firm that doesn’t act like a law firm? If you want to help people targeted by financial companies and want to learn different areas of consumer law, both state and federal, it’s a great time to join our growing consumer protection team. Being currently licensed in Illinois is required. At Harrer Law, P.C., you will work with high-quality colleagues, help grateful clients, and handle cases that genuinely change people’s lives. Helping clients get back on their feet is rewarding work, and they appreciate what we do. We take pride in winning, and we also believe work should enhance your life, not consume it. We want people who care about doing excellent work, like learning, and want to be part of a team where ideas matter. We will train you on the law, strategy, and process. You do not need to arrive knowing everything, but you do need to be motivated, organized, and ready to learn. We're a flat fee, so no agonizing over hourly billing. We’re growing fast and are looking for an attorney with the skills needed to defend consumers from financial companies and turn around and sue those same companies. If you're licensed in Illinois, live in the Chicagoland area, and are friendly, upbeat, optimistic, detail-oriented, very organized, can handle multiple court hearings, like to learn, are self-motivated, think on your feet, and get a thrill from winning cases, and want to make a life-changing impact on people's lives, then we should talk. This is a work-from-home job, and you will need a car for occasional in-person hearings or arbitrations. Check out our Google reviews for Harrer Law, P.C.
