  • Juris Doctor from an accredited law school and an active Virginia Bar Membership in good standing is required.
  • While three (3+) years of Bankruptcy experience is preferred - including Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Chapter 13 and plan confirmation exposure - it is not required. We9re committed to training candidates who show the right aptitude and work ethic. Salary is commensurate with experience.
