Pav Law Is Hiring: Criminal Defense Associate Attorney (Remote) Be Part of Building the Best Criminal Defense Firm in the State
Pav Law is a growing, elite criminal defense firm with a bold mission: to become the best in the state. We’re hiring our first associate attorney — someone sharp, self-driven, and ready to take ownership of serious criminal cases in a remote, high-accountability environment.
We intend for this to be the best-paying criminal law associate position in the state. The salary will be $150,000, but with bonuses, the total will be approximately 30% of the money your work brings into the firm. We anticipate total pay to be $200,000-300,000 based on our current revenue and that of other firms in the area.
This is intended to be a work-from-home position with no formal office. You must be able to appear in court as needed, but outside of that, we believe practicing law in a robe shouldn’t be reserved solely for judges. However, if you think an office would benefit you, we are open to discussing that.
We’re open to a variety of candidates:
Long-time federal prosecutors who are ready to hop off the crazy train and make way more money sticking it to the man than they did upholding the law back when that was the DOJ’s priority.
Motions, appeals, and research experts who have trial experience and can maintain good relationships with clients, but would rather let the founding attorney handle trials.
High-performing associates at private firms who are tired of getting paid only 20% extra to make their firm twice what their peers do.
Experienced criminal law attorneys with additional strong skills in areas the firm currently doesn’t handle, but would like to expand into, such as appeals, federal cases, and personal injury (particularly excessive force by the police.)
What We’re Looking For:
Absolute minimum of 3 years of criminal defense experience, but more would be preferred.
Felony trial experience and the ability to confidently try misdemeanors.
Ability to manage cases independently — from intake through resolution.
Strong legal research, brief writing, and analytical skills.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to convert consultations into clients.
Discipline and self-direction in a remote work environment.
Someone who is looking to help build a culture of excellent customer service and objectively superior performance.
What You’ll Do:
Handle a range of criminal defense matters, including serious felonies.
Draft and argue motions, manage discovery, conduct client meetings, and appear in court when required.
Play a key role in firm growth, internal development, and case strategy.
What We Offer:
A rare chance to be a foundational team member at a firm with statewide ambition.
100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance.
A flexible, remote work environment built on trust, performance, and results.
A SEP IRA retirement plan once vested
Competitive salary with growth potential and performance-based incentives.
A collaborative relationship with other members of the firm — not a rigid hierarchy.
A well-trained support staff so that you can focus on the work that requires a bar number.
Paid License fees and CLEs
Requirements:
Licensed to practice law in Colorado, although we may consider a candidate who can transfer into Colorado in the right circumstances.
Minimum 3 years of criminal defense experience.
Strong writing sample, trial success, and excellent motion practice.
Reliable access to internet, phone, and transportation for court appearances.
A commitment to excellent advocacy for our clients, and the ability to treat them with respect, compassion, and empathy, even though some of them are terrible people.
This isn’t a fit for someone who needs a lot of direction or prefers a traditional office setup. It’s for someone ready to take real ownership of their work and be part of something that’s growing fast — and aiming high.
