An established law firm in Cleveland, Tennessee is looking for a Civil Litigation Attorney to step into a strong, existing civil caseload and take the reins.

The firm's current attorneys are shifting more of their attention toward their criminal and family law practices, creating an exciting opportunity for someone who wants autonomy, courtroom experience, and the chance to truly make the civil practice their own.

🚀 What's In It For You?

💼 The Bottom Line
