Litigation Attorney at Jacqueline Salcines PA

Are you an experienced attorney who is either stuck in big law or in a law firm that does not provide autonomy or allow you the ability to SHINE? If you are looking to grow, lead, and leave a meaningful mark — not just move files — SALCINESLAW is for you.

At Salcines Law, we are more than a law firm. We are trusted advisors, problem-solvers, and protectors of family stability, investments, and generational wealth. When a dispute arises over a property, contract, or business relationship, the stakes are rarely just financial — they are deeply personal. Homes, reputations, stability, and futures are on the line. Clients come to us with worry on their shoulders and questions in their eyes, and they are looking for someone who can stand in that space with them — calmly, strategically, and confidently.

That is where you come in.

We are seeking a Senior Litigation Attorney who not only knows the law, but knows people — someone who understands that litigation is as much about guidance as it is about outcomes. Someone who can command a courtroom with authority and grace, negotiate from a position of thoughtful strength, and communicate with clients in a way that makes them feel seen, heard, and protected.

This role is ideal for an attorney who has earned their stripes in the courtroom, who thinks several moves ahead, and who is ready for a seat at the table — a real voice in strategy, leadership, and firm direction. Someone who wants to join a firm that values excellence without ego, drive without burnout, and high standards without the coldness that so often defines the legal profession.

If you are looking to grow and leave a meaningful mark, you will thrive here.
