About the Role
Dohman Law Group is seeking a Criminal Defense Attorney to join our team in either our Rolling Meadows or Wheaton office.
This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who enjoys litigation, courtroom advocacy, and client representation. You'll manage a steady caseload of DUI, traffic, and criminal defense matters while working alongside a team that values preparation, collaboration, and exceptional client service.
This is a production-focused position. We want our attorneys focused on practicing law, achieving results, and serving clients-not generating business.

Compensation & Benefits:
Salary range: $115,000, depending on experience. Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, 401(k) options, and a generous paid time off policy. An environment that promotes teamwork, mentorship, and career progression, including ongoing professional development.
