Estate Planning Director jobs in Georgia

If you either are or are planning to be, an exceptional attorney, your place is in our firm!

Did you become an attorney because you were passionate about helping people ... or maybe because your mother gave you the choice of either being a doctor or a lawyer and you didn't like the icky stuff? Either way, you should enjoy and take pride in what you do! Upon joining our firm you will do both by assisting our clients as they plan for their futures and the futures of their families and loved ones, and, when necessary, protecting their assets and ensuring their wishes are followed when nefarious challengers raise their ugly heads. With a culture and commitment to our people unlike any other in the legal marketplace, at a time when other firms are cutting back and laying people off, we have more business than we can handle and, thus, are able to present a rare and unique employment opportunity to the right attorney who possesses excellent analytical, writing and listening skills coupled with compassion and, since we pride ourselves on always being on the "right side" of matter, a desire to do good and make a positive difference in other's lives.

The ideal candidate will have some experience drafting Wills, Trusts, Healthcare Directives, and Powers of Attorney (don't worry, whatever your level of experience we'll make you better), and a willingness to support and defend those documents on behalf of our clients and their families through simple and contested probate procedures.
