Amarillo, TX, United States
Associate Attorney
Do you want to help people during one of the most stressful times in their lives?
At The Texas Criminal Defense Group (TCDG), we believe that great lawyers are not just legal minds - they're also compassionate advocates, strong communicators, and team players.
We're looking for an experienced Attorney. Our clients are facing some of the hardest moments they've ever experienced. They need someone who can guide them with honesty, empathy, and clarity - someone who understands that being accused of a crime is not just a legal crisis, but a personal one.
Why Join TCDG?
You're Never Alone Here - At TCDG, you're part of a team. Our lawyers regularly collaborate on strategy, jump in to assist with trial prep, and support one another - no matter where they're located. We try cases _together_, share ideas, and lift each other up.
You Focus on Clients, We Handle the Rest - We have dedicated teams for intake, billing, transcription, and discovery preparation. You'll receive well-organized Discovery summaries and support so you can focus on being the lawyer your client needs.
A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats - We believe in shared success. Whether you're helping a client, supporting a colleague, or sharing a win, our culture rewards collaboration over competition.
Referral Recognition - If you've built strong client relationships in your current role - whether as a solo, at a small firm, or in another practice - we have systems in place to recognize and reward the value you bring when those individuals seek you out and choose our firm because of your reputation.
Performance-Based Bonuses - Bonuses are tied to results, client satisfaction, trial advocacy, and collaboration - not just closed cases.
What You'll Do
Represent clients facing criminal charges throughout the Amarillo area
Inspire confidence in our clients to advance our excellent reputation
Build strong, trusting relationships with clients by providing clear & empathetic communication
Work with fellow attorneys and support staff to develop and execute case strategies
Show up for your team and your clients - with compassion, integrity, and purpose
Help people through difficult moments with honesty and effective representation
Qualifications

Active Texas State Bar License
Experience in criminal law preferred, but passion and client-centered values matter most
Trial experience
Ability to connect with clients and communicate clearly
Spanish fluency is a plus!
Must live in the Amarillo area
What We Offer
Competitive salary based on experience and performance
Bonus structure rewarding results, referrals, teamwork, and client care
Firm-paid health insurance (including premiums and deductibles)
Paid Texas State Bar dues and CLEs
Ongoing training, collaboration, and mentorship
A collaborative statewide team where attorneys support one another and grow together
Where You'll Work
TCDG has active offices throughout Texas with the Amarillo team working from our location in the Chase Tower.
This is more than just a job.
It's a chance to be part of a team that believes in people - our clients, our community, and each other.
If you're the kind of Attorney who earns trust through action, and people know to call you when they need help - we'd love to talk.
