About Us:

At 770GOODLAW, a PLAYER is:

  • Client-Centered: whatever that is JUST & GOOD for our clients, we will do, no matter how hard or how long. 770GOODLAW will do REPAIR COORDINATIONS for our clients for free whereas other firms will not. Each of our clients will have CONTINUOUS COMMUNICATION with his/her team via a group text. MORE MONEY FASTER: we will not take a penny more than our clients at settlement disbursement.
  • Selfless: Client and firm first before self. A PLAYER thinks that “if the Firm does well, as a by-product, I will do well” and not “if I do well, as a by-product, the Firm will do well.”
  • Positive Attitude & Action: Can do and will do: whether you think you can, or think you can’t…you are right!
  • Trustworthy, Dependable & Reliable: Things done right, on time, as promised!
  • Coachable & Continuous Learner: Always learning and striving for perfection!

At 770GOODLAW,

  • We have a clear way of RECOGNIZING & REWARDING PERFORMANCE based on clearly defined objectives,
  • We also have a clear way of recognizing when a PLAYER is in need of additional coaching, and
  • We have a clear way to objectively assess and eject someone that is NOT A PLAYER.

 

Do you get it? Do you want it? Are you capable of doing it? Would you like to come to work with other PLAYERS?

 

If you can help make our pie bigger, you should send an email to Nikkole@770goodlaw.com containing a cover letter concisely detailing why you will be a PLAYER at 770GOODLAW (show us you have our 5 core values above with examples and that you get it, want it and have the capacity to do it) along with a 1-page resume.

We will not accept phone calls, walk-ins or additional emails. Candidates will instantly be disqualified from consideration if they do not follow instructions (instructions are very important!).
