Use Your Law Degree to Make a Real Impact

At Spitz, The Employee’s Law Firm, we stand up for real people facing real problems at work—discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and more. This isn’t a paper-pushing job. It’s an opportunity to advocate, litigate, and fight for employees who need a voice.

We’re currently hiring an attorney for our Independence, Ohio office. Whether you're newly licensed or bring years of experience, if you're ready to make a difference and grow in your legal career, we want to hear from you.


What Makes This Role Different?

This is not the kind of job where you'll sit behind a screen editing documents all day. You'll handle meaningful cases, interact directly with clients, and have the opportunity to go to court. This is the kind of work you imagined when you decided to become a lawyer.

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Empathy, drive, and a desire to help people
  • Prior employment law experience is a plus, but not required

What You’ll Do:

  • Represent clients in employment-related disputes
  • Take and defend depositions, argue motions, and appear in court
  • Build strong relationships with clients and walk them through tough moments
  • Collaborate with experienced litigators and grow your skills every day
