Job Description

Godfrey Law, P.C. , is recruiting associate attorneys who are licensed to practice in Colorado, with at least 2 years of litigation experience. Some new law school graduates may also find a home with us if they have distinguished themselves in law school or through past work. Ours is a national practice; most of our caseload arises in Colorado, Texas, Kansas, Wyoming, Utah and California. You’ll find a map of where we practice on our website, at GodfreyTrial.com along with more information about our practice areas and resources. We are also willing to discuss lateral moves with more advanced practitioners.

As an attorney at Godfrey Law, P.C. you will enjoy being part of a first-rate trial team with a multistate practice. You’ll receive the tools, technology, and training to significantly increase your effectiveness as a litigator. We are very well known as a firm that provides valuable and ongoing training, as well as the development of cutting-edge legal strategies. 

We use Apple computers and iPads. You will be assigned a firm laptop with external monitors, and an iPad for work in high-mobility settings. Our office is paperless; we use a very powerful document management system of our own design. (If you are not familiar with Apple products, worry not, for these systems are significantly easier to use than Windows.) Also, we are testing and using various AI platforms, including Westlaw Precision, Co-Counsel, Apple Intelligence and other platforms.

Our firm is well known for the ongoing training we provide for our personnel. We place great emphasis on thoroughly understanding the relevant medical, scientific, and engineering principles of each case in the formulation of effective courtroom strategies. Our litigation methods are well documented internally. Our firm is headed by a 37-year trial veteran with over 100 jury trials and an exceptional track record, whose favorite past-time is helping lawyers grow to their full potential. We have a lot of fun working as a closely-knit team. We have a strong belief in the importance of a work-life balance and sustainability. We reduce stress by maintaining a positive and highly supportive team environment and the best workload-management software available.

Please browse our web site (GodfreyTrial.com) for a list of our practice areas, and to get a feel for our firm culture. 

Qualifications: Applicants must be licensed to practice in Colorado; licensure in other states is also highly valued, but not required. Minimum qualifications include the ability to learn and follow detailed procedures and instructions, excellent research and writing abilities, strong interpersonal and communication skills, the ability to manage deadlines and meet hourly billing requirements. We highly value proven deposition and trial skills, client development skills, and excellent research and writing skills. Special talents in the fields of science, engineering, medicine, finance, aviation, business or accounting are also highly valuable.

Compensation: The starting salary for this position, depending upon experience and portability of business, is $110,000 to $155,000. Lawyers with greater experience and portable business will be paid even more. The firm also has a written bonus program that rewards business generation and productivity, which may add significantly to your compensation. We offer excellent benefits, including health and dental insurance for you and your family. We also have a 401K plan. The firm covers approved CLE expenses, bar dues, and approved marketing expenses to help you grow your client and referral network.
