To be clear, top producers are desired and if you’re that top producer -send a list of continuing education, self-study/self-improvement, and sales training that you’ve done in the last 24 months. If you are a top producer that means you can bring us a deal, case/cases. We’re looking for an attorney who can hit the ground running to give our clients outstanding representation from initial strategy meetings to post-judgment client care. The attorney will be required to practice in all three locations: Rockwall, Terrell & Waxahachie, Texas.
