Estate Planning & Trust Attorney

The Law Offices of Brenton C. McWilliams is an estate planning, probate, and elder law firm with several offices in Baldwin County, Alabama. We are growing and excited to add another team member to deliver first-class legal services to clients.

Our estate planning attorney position will allow you to completely focus on being an attorney, providing recommendations for clients, and doing legal work, rather than spending a lot of your time working on the administrative side of the law firm.

Additionally, you will work with a team of dedicated professionals who will support you in delivering exceptional legal services to clients.

This is an in-person position. You must be able to regularly be present for client appointments in our offices in Spanish Fort and Foley.
