Are you an attorney who thrives on guiding clients through life’s most personal legal matters with empathy, precision, and clarity? Do you seek to join a team that values professionalism, process, and people equally? At Waters Law, PLLC , we’re looking for a compassionate, client-centered attorney who combines emotional intelligence with analytical strength—and is ready to grow with a team that’s redefining estate law.

About Us:

Waters Law, PLLC is a boutique firm with a laser focus on estate planning, probate, trust administration, conservatorships/guardianships, and elder law, including Medicaid/TennCare planning. We believe in clear, prompt communication, and a client service approach rooted in empathy, responsiveness, and clarity. Every legal experience we provide is designed to be professional, personal, and empowering.

We’re known for:

  • Transparent billing (flat-rate and hourly) with flexible payment options.
  • Education-focused consultations that simplify complex legal processes.
  • A warm, welcoming environment for both clients and our team.

About You:
You’re a driven, detail-oriented attorney passionate about helping others and skilled at clear, compassionate communication. You’re confident in client interactions, document drafting, navigating the court system, and meeting deadlines. You thrive in a structured, team-oriented environment, welcome feedback, and are eager to grow within a process-driven firm.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead estate administration matters from start to finish, including client consultations and ongoing communication.
  • Present the firm’s services and value proposition to clients with confidence.
  • Draft and review legal documents in collaboration with paralegals.
  • Attend client meetings, court appearances, and engage professionally with judges, clerks, and opposing counsel.
  • Maintain organized case files and adhere to internal procedures and timelines.
  • Track time and manage billables efficiently.

Requirements

  • 2–5 years of experience in estate administration, probate, or elder law.
  • Excited to contribute to and grow within an established team.
  • Strong client communication skills and excellent attention to detail.
  • Proficiency with practice and case management tools. Experience with any of these is a plus: Clio Manage, Clio Grow, Clio Draft, Trello, Office Suite (PC), Westlaw, Slack, Outlook, and Zoom.
  • Tech-savvy and adaptable to process-driven systems.

Benefits

  • Salary offering will be based on experience and location
  • Bonus potential
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Paid holidays
  • Short-term disability
  • Simple IRA with 3% matching

Firm Culture & Community Involvement:
Waters Law is a modern, women-led, process-oriented firm where collaboration and continuous improvement are woven into our daily work. We believe in delivering exceptional results without burning out—team lunches and shared experiences help us support each other, both professionally and personally.

We also give back. Each team member receives one paid day per quarter to volunteer for a charity or cause they’re passionate about, and the firm actively supports local nonprofits and community initiatives.

How to Apply:
Please submit your resume and a cover letter explaining why you’d be a great fit for Waters Law, PLLC. No direct inquiries from candidates or agencies, please. We will contact qualified applicants for the next steps.
