Litigation Attorney

Bonham Solutions, Lansing, MI, United States


Associate Attorney (General Practice / Litigation)
Location:
Haring, Michigan (Mostly Remote | Michigan-Based Candidates)

About the Firm
A well-established law firm based in the Haring, Michigan area is seeking an Associate Attorney to join its growing general practice. The firm handles a mix of family law, criminal defense, and trusts & estates, with a strong emphasis on litigation. The firm has a dedicated office space, but the attorney would have the ability to work fully remote and only come into the office if needed. The owner is an experienced attorney and places a strong emphasis on training, mentorship, and long-term professional development with a successful history of training new graduate attorneys. They have created an excellent reputation in the community and in Northern Michigan for offering extensive, high quality, legal services.

The Opportunity
This position is primarily remote/hybrid, with the majority of court appearances conducted virtually. Candidates may live anywhere in Michigan and ideally within 1–2 hours of Haring for the occasional in-person requirement (such as evidentiary hearings or trial preparation). When in-person work is needed, a dedicated office space is available. The firm is open to both newly licensed attorneys and experienced candidates. They are willing to train the right person from the ground up and also welcome attorneys who already have experience and are looking for a supportive environment to continue growing their practice.
