institutions that keep California running. Our client is a premier
public sector law firm in Citrus Heights that has been a pillar of
the California legal landscape for over 40 years. They serve as the
primary defense for cities and public entities in high-stakes civil
litigation. From complex tort claims and dangerous conditions of
public property to employment and municipal law disputes, this is
high-impact work that directly affects local communities. The

without sacrificing their personal life. The Schedule: You’ll spend
the first two weeks in the Citrus Heights office for onboarding.
After that, the firm supports a hybrid model that provides the
flexibility modern attorneys need. The Requirement: You must have
10 California jury trials to verdict. This is non-negotiable. The
firm’s clients expect a veteran presence in the well of the court
from Day 1. Why Join This Firm? This opportunity offers the
stability of public law with the compensation and culture of a
top-tier private practice. Retirement: SIMPLE IRA with 3% matching
and immediate vesting. Health: Comprehensive medical. Fully paid
dental and vision coverage. Impact: You’ll have a seat at the table
with city leaders, shaping outcomes for the public good while
working in a collaborative, 45 attorney environment that values
mentorship. Salary Range: $200,000 to $225,000 Reference:
