Job Description
Heston Law Firm is seeking a contract attorneys for local counsel. We are looking for attorneys to cover hearings primarily in Houston and surrounding areas, but we need attorneys for other counties as well. Applicants will attend court hearings on an as-needed basis.
We are a Texas debt lawyer representing individuals being sued for unpaid debts, with a 98% success rate of cases being dismissed or the amount reduced. Founded by attorney James Heston, our firm has been providing legal services to Texans for many years. We are a relatively high-volume law firm with 3000-4000 open cases at any one time, and an average of 80- 100+ hearings scheduled per week throughout several counties in the state of Texas.
As a contract attorney, you will attend court hearings on an as-needed basis. We handle all the case details and client communication, so you won’t be the attorney of record or expected to communicate with clients or opposing counsel outside the hearing. We provide all the necessary documents and details through our simple online portal. This allows you to attend the hearing, submit your results, and leave the courthouse with no follow-up work to do.
Requirements for Local Counsel:
- Must be licensed attorneys admitted to practice in Texas courts
- Must be in good standing.
- Fluency in Spanish is preferred, but not required.
Benefits:
- Weekly direct deposit
- Up to $125 per appearance
- Flexible schedule
We need attorneys for both in-person hearings and Zoom hearings. In-person hearings are compensated at a higher rate than Zoom hearings, and you can attend Zoom hearings in any Texas county of your choice. We also pay a “late cancellation” fee when a hearing gets cancelled one business day or less before the scheduled hearing time. When this happens, you do not need to attend the hearing, but you still get paid the “late cancellation” fee.
