Bilingual Legal Intake Specialist

About the Firm

We are a fast-paced, high-growth US Criminal Defense firm dedicated to protecting the rights and futures of our clients. We handle a wide range of cases—from misdemeanors to serious felonies—and pride ourselves on providing responsive, aggressive, and client-centered representation.

We are currently restructuring our intake functions into a single, high-performance team. We are moving away from the "receptionist" model to a "Consultative Intake" model where there are no call transfers—just seamless, elite service from the first hello.
