Full-time associate attorney needed.  Get ready to jump-start your career working for two seasoned attorneys.  The role is an associate attorney shared by two small law firms. The associate attorney position offers a unique learning opportunity to work in multiple areas of the law. One firm handles probate and business litigation. The other firm handles real estate and court fiduciary work.  This is not the typical, big-firm, chained-to-a-desk, minimum-billable hours position.  As an associate attorney you will have real responsibilities handling real cases from day one.  You will work part of the week for each firm.   You will handle a variety of law and motion work, transactional and estate planning work, probate and civil litigation, real property sales, and court hearings. We are seeking a licensed California attorney. Minimum two years experience is strongly preferred, but will consider a talented candidate with less experience. Must be proficient with standard legal computer programs such as Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat.
