Job Description

While others tightened their belts during the pandemic, we doubled down. Business is booming and we’re looking to bring on the best and brightest in criminal defense.

If you’re looking for a job that’s boring and easy, you won’t find it here. We’re committed to being exceptional and delivering exceptional results to our clients. The results we achieve in and out of the courtroom come from hard work, discipline, and perseverance. It sometimes takes late nights and weekends to be great – but we do what it takes.

If you want to be part of a team that is committed, fiercely loyal to one another, and puts family above self, then we can’t wait to hear from you.

Who We Are:

Varghese Summersett is one of the fastest-growing criminal defense firms in North Texas. We were founded in 2014 and, just a few years later, were named one of the fastest-growing businesses in the country by Inc. 5000. Currently, we have 11 attorneys who are considered the best and brightest in their field. Collectively, we have more than 120 years of experience and have tried more than 750 cases before state and federal juries.

Did we mention we have more 5-star Google reviews than any other defense firm in North Texas?
