We are seeking an experienced Texas-licensed attorney who is motivated to bring their own caseload and practice experience and explore a long-term strategic relationship with our firm.
This opportunity is not a traditional associate role. It is ideal for an attorney interested in merging an existing practice, forming a joint venture, or establishing a hybrid in-house relationship within a supportive, growth-oriented firm platform.

Family Law (divorce, custody, enforcement, modifications)
Personal Injury (auto, trucking, premises liability – pre-suit and litigation)
Probate & Estate Matters (administrations, heirship proceedings, disputes)
Key Responsibilities
Manage and expand an existing caseload under the Ruiz Law Firm platform
Handle litigation, hearings, mediations, and court appearances in Harris County and surrounding jurisdictions
Collaborate on firm strategy, branding, and practice growth
Maintain direct client relationships with a high standard of service
Contribute to business development and cross-practice referrals
Qualifications
Active Texas Bar license in good standing (required)
3+ years of Texas practice experience (Houston-area experience strongly preferred)
Demonstrated experience in one or more of the listed practice areas
Existing client base or active matters strongly preferred
Entrepreneurial mindset with strong professional judgment
Excellent litigation, negotiation, and legal-writing skills
Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus, but not required
Relationship Structure (Flexible)
Strategic practice merger

Partner-track or revenue-sharing model
Customized in-house relationship based on experience and goals
What We Offer
Established firm infrastructure, staff, and systems
Strong marketing presence and 4.8-star Google reputation
Flexibility to structure compensation and ownership creatively
Opportunity to grow alongside a respected boutique firm without losing autonomy
Collaborative, ethical, and growth-driven culture
