    Tired of feeling like a glorified paperweight in a soul-crushing salt mine?

    Yeah, we get it. You went to law school to actually make a difference, not to spend your days deciphering jargon that would make a medieval scholar weep or fetching lukewarm coffee for someone who hasn’t had an original thought since dial-up was a thing.

    Are you:

    • Stifled by endless unfulfilling paper chasing that makes your brain mushy?
    • Secretly plotting an escape from the beige-walled prison of your current firm?
    • Possessing a legal mind sharper than a freshly honed katana, but it’s being used to slice through…well, nothing exciting?
    • Yearning to actually fight for something meaningful instead of just billing hours?
    • Ready to unleash your inner legal badass on cases that actually matter?

    Then listen up, future legal disruptor.

    Gourley, Rehkemper & Lindholm PLLC (GRL Law) in West Des Moines isn’t your typical stuffy law firm. We’re a team of passionate, creative trailblazers who believe in fighting for our clients with grit, intelligence, and a healthy dose of unconventional thinking. We’re not about churning out boilerplate; we’re about crafting innovative solutions and making a real impact in our community.

    Here’s the deal:

    We’re looking for an Associate Attorney with 1-3 years of experience who’s ready to ditch the briefcase-carrying gig and dive headfirst into challenging and rewarding work. You’ll have the opportunity to:

    • Actually use your brain: Forget the mind-numbing routine. You’ll be involved in strategy, research, and client interaction from the get-go.
    • Fight for the underdog: We handle cases that matter, helping individuals and families navigate complex legal challenges.
    • Contribute meaningfully: Your work won’t just be a billable hour; it will directly impact people’s lives.
    • Learn and grow: Our experienced attorneys are invested in your development and will provide mentorship and opportunities for advancement.
    • Be part of a team that doesn’t take itself too seriously: We work hard, but we also believe in a supportive and (dare we say) fun work environment. (Yes, it’s possible in law!)

    What you bring to the table:

    • 1-3 years of post-bar admission legal experience (tell us what kind!)
    • A strong work ethic and a hunger to learn.
    • Excellent research, writing, and communication skills.
    • A creative problem-solving mindset – we don’t do cookie-cutter solutions.
    • A genuine desire to make a positive impact.
    • A healthy skepticism of the status quo.

    Bonus points if you:

    • Have experience in probate, real estate, personal injury, family law or criminal defense.
    • Can explain complex legal concepts without inducing a coma.
    • Possess a respectful defiance toward abused authority.

    Ready to trade the soul-crushing for the soul-fueling?

    If you’re a young attorney ready to unleash your potential and join a firm that values creativity, purpose, and a good fight, we want to hear from you.

    Fill in the form above, or submit your resume, a compelling cover letter that tells us why you’re ready to break free, and maybe even a brief writing sample to [email protected].
