Hours: 10-20 hours per week

Will consider: An employee associate attorney or an "Of Counsel"

Need assistance in the following area of practice:

Bankruptcy: Prepare, sign, and file bankruptcy petitions, meet with clients, complete paperwork with attention to detail, and possibly make court appearances. A non-attorney assistant will prepare the first draft of the petition. Essentially, this is an ala carte service where you will work on part(s) of a bankruptcy case.

Mortgage Modification: Prepare, sign, and submit mortgage modification to mortgage companies or their attorneys to save a client’s home from a foreclosure sale. Court appearances in Foreclosure Court and Bankruptcy Court. We are looking for a Superstar Attorney! Please consider responding to this ad if:

you are a truly talented attorney; you are a pleasure to deal with; you believe that you can be the best at almost anything you do and you work to prove that; you enjoy developing a deep and meaningful rapport with clients; you communicate with piercing persuasiveness; you are extremely customer-oriented; you have a burning desire to succeed; you are highly motivated; you have a never-say-die attitude; and you find ways to perform well, even in difficult situations

The Ideal Person: We firmly believe in hiring the RIGHT person for this job, not simply the person with the most credentials. The person we hire will know what it means to meet deadlines, work independently, and will restore our faith in the American work ethic. We like working with smart, motivated individuals who are eager to learn.

We would love to work with an experienced (5+ years) attorney who is motivated and has significant experience in one or more of the following areas of law: mortgage modification, bankruptcy, foreclosure and/or real estate, BUT we are willing to teach the RIGHT person who has a year or two of experience as an attorney.

If you are a licensed attorney interested in helping people save their homes through mortgage modification law or bankruptcy, are a quick learner, can follow clearly stated expectations, will follow the standards and procedures of John D’Amato Law Offices, will conduct yourself in a professional manner, and clearly understand the difference between activity and accomplishment, then you should apply today! We would love to hear from you.

What you can expect:

Gentle, flexible hours and fast payment. Unlike those attorneys running a law firm, you show up, do your work, and get paid (without needing to worry about where your next client is coming from). You will be free to enjoy life, not as an employer, but as a lawyer, making a difference and helping people. Isn’t that why you went to Law School in the first place? Low pressure and a low-stress environment.

Please apply TODAY if:

• you already understand: how to prepare a budget, the basics of bankruptcy law, and the basics of foreclosure law.
• you do not make excuses for your poor performance;
• you do not view firm clients as an inconvenience;
• you are punctual;
• you were the student who did not need mom or dad to remind you to complete your homework or your projects;
• you do not need a lot of direction and hands-on guidance;
• you are willing and eager to learn, not already set in your ways; and
• you do not prefer to put off until tomorrow what could be done today!

This is the job for you!
