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.

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

Joint venture or of-counsel-style arrangement

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
