## Description

### **Trial Attorney – Criminal Defense | Michael & Associates | Nashville, TN**

At Michael & Associates, we're transforming the landscape of criminal defense in California. With a strong foundation of success in Texas, we're now bringing our tried-and-true methods to Orange County—focusing on trial mastery, robust operational support, and unwavering client-centered advocacy.

Our bold vision is to become the nation's most effective and efficient criminal defense firm within the next three years. We're committed to creating a dynamic environment where attorneys thrive through high-level advocacy, continuous professional development, and delivering exceptional, personalized representation to every client.

### **Who We Are**

We are redefining the conventional defense law firm model by integrating outstanding courtroom advocacy with cutting-edge technological advancements. Utilizing digital marketing, automation, and data-driven recruitment methods, we broaden our reach, enhance our outcomes, and cultivate a contemporary, innovative legal practice.

### **About the Role**

We are looking for a seasoned Trial Attorney with a proven history of success in Tennessee’s criminal courts. The ideal candidate will possess strong litigation skills, command respect in the courtroom, and demonstrate a steadfast commitment to protecting the rights of the accused.

In this role, you will oversee both felony and misdemeanor cases from arraignment through trial, supported by a dedicated team of attorneys, investigators, and professional staff. This position offers an exceptional opportunity to shape the growth of our Tennessee practice and contribute to one of the fastest-expanding criminal defense firms in the country.

### **Why This Opportunity Stands Out**

**Kickstart Your Career at a Fast-Growing Firm**  
Join us at the ground level and help shape something extraordinary. Your role goes beyond routine tasks—you’ll have a tangible impact from day one.

**Clear Paths for Growth and Leadership**  
We offer advancement opportunities that are rare in criminal defense. Whether your goal is to lead, sharpen trial skills, or mentor others, your career path is clear and achievable.

**Innovation That Supports Your Success**  
We leverage technology, efficiency, and continuous improvement not as buzzwords, but as tools to help you focus on what matters most: serving your clients exceptionally well.

**A Team That Lifts Everyone**  
Collaboration is at the heart of every case. Our attorneys challenge, support, and elevate one another to achieve the highest standards of legal excellence.

**Make a Meaningful Impact Every Day**  
Guide clients through their most difficult moments and deliver results that truly matter. Our firm is recognized for combining zealous advocacy with empathy and professionalism.

-   **Over 10 years of hands-on experience** defending clients and fighting for justice in Tennessee courts.
