Disney Reviewer Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

Estate Planning Attorney – Client Experience Focus

Rutkowski Law Firm is seeking a personable, knowledgeable, and client-focused Estate Planning Attorney to lead families through the estate planning process with clarity, compassion, and confidence. This role is centered around client experience — not just legal analysis.

You’ll guide clients through design, review, and signing meetings, helping them understand their options and finalize plans that protect their assets and loved ones. You’ll be expected to communicate complex legal concepts in everyday language, build meaningful relationships, and deliver a seamless experience from start to finish.

This is an ideal role for an attorney who enjoys working with people, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to make a direct impact on the lives of families throughout Michigan. If you’re looking for a collaborative, purpose-driven team where client service is just as important as legal precision — this is the opportunity for you.

• Alignment with our core values and commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience.

Preferred:

• 3–5+ years of hands-on experience in estate planning, with direct client interaction.
• Experience with high-net-worth or complex planning strategies (e.g., irrevocable trusts, asset protection, Medicaid planning).
• Familiarity with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) structure and terminology.
• Prior experience working in a team-based, client-service-oriented law firm.
• Public speaking or sales experience a plus — especially if you’re comfortable guiding clients toward clear decisions.
