Careers at Barrett Legal

Build Your Career in the Courtroom

Barrett Legal is a fast-growing Texas law firm built for attorneys who want real responsibility, real courtroom experience, and a clear path forward.

We represent clients across Texas in criminal defense, family law, and personal injury, with offices in Southlake (DFW), Abilene, and multiple regional markets. Our attorneys are not paper-pushers or passive case managers—we are litigators who take ownership of our cases and fight for our clients.

If you’re looking for a firm where your work matters, your growth is intentional, and your performance is rewarded, we’d like to talk.

Why Attorneys Choose Barrett Legal

We Try Cases

Many firms talk about litigation. We actually do it.
Our attorneys gain meaningful courtroom experience—not years of waiting in the shadows. If you want to sharpen your advocacy skills and build confidence in court, Barrett Legal is built for that.

Clear Expectations. Real Accountability.

We believe strong attorneys want clarity, not ambiguity.
At Barrett Legal, every attorney role has:

  • Defined expectations
  • Measurable performance standards
  • Clear ownership of cases and outcomes

You’ll know what success looks like—and you’ll have the support to reach it.

Growth Is Planned, Not Promised

We are intentionally expanding across Texas. That growth creates opportunities for:

  • Senior associate roles
  • Lead attorney positions
  • Office leadership opportunities

We don’t over-hire, and we don’t stall careers. If you perform, you advance.

Support That Lets You Practice Law

Our attorneys are supported by intake, operations, and administrative systems designed to reduce distractions and let you focus on practicing law—not chasing paperwork or fixing broken processes.

Who We’re Looking For

We are selective by design. Barrett Legal is not the right fit for everyone—and that’s intentional.

Our strongest attorneys share these traits:

  • Ownership mentality—you take responsibility for your cases and results
  • Bias for action—you don’t wait to be told what needs to be done
  • Comfort in the courtroom or a strong desire to get there
  • Professional discipline and respect for clients, colleagues, and the court
  • A desire to grow, not coast

Experience levels vary by role, but mindset matters most.

Criminal Defense Attorneys

  • Trial-focused criminal defense and DWI work
  • Significant courtroom exposure
  • Opportunities in Southlake (DFW) and other Texas markets

Family Law Attorneys

  • Divorce, custody, enforcement, and complex family matters
  • Client-facing, litigation-forward practice
  • Growing demand across multiple offices

Specific openings vary by market and timing. Even if you don’t see a listed position, we welcome conversations with experienced litigators.

  • Market-aligned base salary (DOE)
  • Performance incentives tied to results and ownership
  • Opportunity for increased responsibility and leadership compensation
