Estate Planning and Probate Attorney

Estate Planning and Probate Attorney Opportunities at

Crow Estate Planning and Probate

Chattanooga, TN

Crow Estate Planning & Probate, PLC is a well-established and rapidly growing estate planning law firm with multiple offices across Tennessee and Kentucky. We focus exclusively on estate planning, probate, conservatorships, and closely related practice areas.

We are seeking a experienced estate planning and probate attorney (5+ years experience) to anchor our expansion into the Chattanooga market. This position is ideal for an attorney who enjoys client interaction, values long-term relationships, and is interested in helping establish our presence in a new geographic market. We do not currently have a physical office in Chattanooga, but this role is intended to lead that growth.

The Role

This is a client-facing, relationship-driven position. Our attorneys meet with clients regularly and are expected to communicate clearly, confidently, and compassionately. Candidates who prefer minimal client contact or a purely back-office role are unlikely to be a good fit.

You will work closely with firm leadership while operating with a high degree of autonomy as we build our Chattanooga footprint.

Practice Areas

• Estate planning (wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney)
• Probate administration and representation of personal representatives
• Conservatorships and guardianships
• Business succession and entity formation
• Limited real estate work related to probate and estate planning matters

The Right Fit for This Position

• Licensed Tennessee attorney with 5+ years of meaningful experience in estate planning and probate
• Strong working knowledge of federal estate, gift, capital gains, and GST tax concepts
• Comfortable meeting with multiple clients per day in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent communicator who can translate complex legal issues into practical guidance
• High integrity, low ego, and genuinely client-focused
• Interest in helping grow a new geographic market for the firm

Preferred Qualifications (but not required)

• LLM in Tax or Estate Planning, CPA, or significant estate-planning concentration in practice or law school
• Experience with WealthCounsel

Candidates attempting to transition from unrelated practice areas (e.g., criminal defense or personal injury) are unlikely to be a good fit.

Core Values

• We treat one another as we would want to be treated ourselves. 
• We prioritize continuous learning, understanding that it is an essential element of success in the ever-evolving legal landscape as well as personal development. 
• We highly value open debate, acknowledging that all perspectives are instrumental in forging the best path forward. 
• Our workplace is characterized by an atmosphere of camaraderie and laughter, which fuels a harmonious and productive work environment. 
• We maintain that ego should never overshadow the importance of teamwork and the shared objective of serving our clients. 
• Character and integrity are fundamental components of a successful law practice. 

All inquiries will be held in the strictest of confidence.

We offer competitive salaries and desire candidates that are looking for long term employment and the ability to grow with the firm. 

• Salary range: Starting at $150,000, commensurate with experience
• Vacation is gained on an accrual basis 
• 7 paid sick days/personal days 
• Paid holidays
