Firm Overview
Price Benowitz LLP is a mid-sized law firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., with offices throughout D.C., Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, and Illinois. Our core values-Passion, Integrity, and Excellence-drive everything we do. We're known for our collaborative, high-energy environment and for empowering our attorneys to focus on what they do best: representing clients and winning cases.
About the Role
Do you love being in the courtroom but hate the pressure of selling yourself? Do you thrive on client advocacy, strategy, and results-but wish someone else handled the marketing, intake calls, and case origination?
If that sounds like you, this might be the perfect opportunity. At Price Benowitz, we're looking for an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney to join us in Knoxville. TN. We'll take care of the sales and client acquisition-you take care of the lawyering.
This role is ideal for an attorney who wants to focus on delivering top-quality representation without the distractions of self-promotion or business development.
What You'll Do

  • Represent clients in criminal matters ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies.
  • Manage all phases of litigation-arraignments, motions, negotiations, trials, and appeals.
  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with clients who are often going through the most difficult times of their lives.
  • Collaborate with a dynamic team of fellow attorneys and support staff who are passionate about criminal defense.
  • Focus 100% on your cases-no need to chase leads, handle intake, or worry about marketing.

What You Bring

  • Active TN Bar license in good standing.
  • Minimum of 3+ years of criminal defense experience in Tennessee (private practice background preferred).
  • Exceptional courtroom advocacy and client communication skills.
  • Strong work ethic, professionalism, and passion for defending the accused.
  • A love for litigation-and zero interest in cold-calling or sales.

What We Offer

  • A steady stream of qualified clients-we handle the marketing and intake for you.
  • Competitive compensation based on performance and experience.
  • Robust administrative, paralegal, and marketing support so you can focus entirely on your cases.
  • A collegial environment with mentorship, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

Why Price Benowitz?
Because we've built a model that lets great lawyers do what they love most: lawyering. We believe advocacy should never take a back seat to salesmanship-and our structure ensures it doesn't.
If you're a skilled criminal defense attorney who wants to spend more time in the courtroom and less time chasing leads, we want to hear from you.
Apply today and get back to what you do best: fighting for your clients!
