Litigation Attorney – Houston

Meaningful Legal Work, Without the Weight of Running a Practice.

At Kreig LLC, this role is designed for attorneys who want to focus on meaningful legal work without getting bogged down by the administrative weight of running a solo or small-firm practice. If you enjoy being in the courtroom, developing case strategy, advocating for clients, and working within a supportive structure that lets you operate at your best, you’ll feel right at home here.

Kreig LLC serves clients across the entire state of Texas through six strategically located offices, including our Houston location. Whether a matter arises in Harris County, the surrounding region, or anywhere else across Texas, our team is equipped to support clients statewide, and you’ll be part of that reach.

You’ll join a team that handles a wide range of litigation matters, including contested probate proceedings, trust disputes, fiduciary litigation, guardianship matters, and related civil litigation. Many of our cases involve active courtroom advocacy, discovery, mediation, and trial preparation. Our systems, staff, and workflows are built to keep your attention on advocacy, strategy, and client service.

This position is best suited for an attorney who enjoys actively practicing law. While you’ll have strong administrative and paralegal support, this is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable drafting, strategizing, appearing in court, and independently moving cases forward.

What You’ll Do

You’ll take ownership of litigation matters from start to finish, backed by a team that values clarity, communication, and professionalism.

• Lead Litigation Matters: Manage contested probate, trust, guardianship, fiduciary, and related civil litigation matters through all phases of the case.
• Show Up in Court: Handle hearings, motions, evidentiary proceedings, mediations, and trials throughout Texas, bringing a steady presence and clear strategy to each appearance.
• Drive Cases Forward: Personally draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and other substantive filings; conduct legal research; prepare for hearings and depositions; negotiate resolutions; and prepare matters for mediation or trial.
• Own Your Caseload: Manage deadlines, case strategy, client communications, and next steps while ensuring matters continue to move toward resolution.
• Advocate for Clients: Provide thoughtful, results-focused representation while helping clients navigate complex and often emotional disputes.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for attorneys who are organized, detail-oriented, and energized by meaningful client work.

• Licensed to practice law in Texas
• At least 2 years of litigation experience, including court appearances, motion practice, discovery, and case management
• Experience in probate litigation, trust litigation, guardianship litigation, fiduciary litigation, or similar civil litigation matters strongly preferred
• Ability to independently handle litigation matters from intake through final resolution, including drafting, discovery, motion practice, court appearances, and settlement negotiations
• Comfortable taking ownership of cases and performing the substantive work necessary to move matters forward, rather than primarily delegating or supervising the work of others
• Ability to manage a busy, fast-moving workload with consistency and professionalism
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
