Job description

Remote Ohio-Licensed Employee's Attorney


At Spitz, The Employee’s Law Firm, we do more than practice employment law—we stand up for people during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Employees come to us after being harassed, discriminated against, retaliated against, underpaid, or wrongfully fired. We help them fight back.


As one of the nation’s leading employee-side employment law firms, we’ve built a reputation for aggressive advocacy, meaningful results, and exceptional client service. With offices in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Texas, and North Carolina, we continue to grow—and we are looking for motivated Attorneys to join our teams in Ohio.


If you want courtroom experience, real responsibility, hands-on litigation, and work that actually matters, this is the place to build your career.


Why Attorneys Choose Spitz

This is not a place where young attorneys spend years buried in document review waiting for an opportunity. From the beginning, you will work directly with clients, develop a strategy, take depositions, negotiate cases, and build litigation skills that many attorneys never get to develop.


At Spitz, you will:

  • Handle meaningful employment cases that make a real difference in people’s lives
  • Work directly with clients from day one
  • Gain substantial litigation and courtroom experience
  • Learn from experienced trial attorneys who are invested in your growth
  • Be part of a collaborative, high-performing team
  • Advance based on your work ethic, results, and ability—not office politics or seniority


We work hard, support each other, and genuinely enjoy what we do. The culture here is fast-paced, team-oriented, and mission-driven. Spitz, The Employee’s Law Firm, is hiring an Employee Rights Pre-Litigation Attorney to help employees move their claims through the early stages of the legal process before a lawsuit is filed.


This position focuses on case development, administrative agency work, fact gathering, client communication, and negotiation. Many employees come to us after experiencing discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, unpaid wages, denied medical leave, or other unlawful workplace conduct. Your role is to help determine what happened, identify the strongest claims, prepare the case properly, and push for a meaningful resolution.


The attorney in this role will work heavily with EEOC charges, state agency filings, position statements, evidence submissions, settlement negotiations, demand letters, and pre-suit strategy. You will interview clients, organize timelines, review documents, identify key witnesses, communicate with investigators, and help clients understand what to expect during the administrative process.


This is a strong fit for an attorney who enjoys the front end of employment cases: digging into facts, spotting legal issues, framing persuasive claims, and negotiating before litigation becomes necessary. You do not need years of employment law experience to succeed here, but you must be organized, practical, empathetic, and comfortable managing a high volume of client-centered work.


This position may be performed from anywhere in the United States, provided the attorney can work effectively with clients, agencies, and our internal team in a professional, responsive, and deadline-driven manner.

Compensation:

$65,000 - $95,000 yearly + Bonus
