Careers
Who We Hire
The employees of Dalton & Tomich are individuals who think independently, argue open-mindedly and assertively, and above all else, value the intense pursuit of truth and excellence and, through it, the rapid improvement of themselves and the organization. The work we do is about more than just making a living. Potential hires are looked at as more than just an employee – they are someone we could share our lives with. We insist that the people we work with are considerate and have a high sense of personal accountability to do the right thing, even when it may be difficult. They must be generous in nature, have a high standard of fairness, and, most importantly, they are able to put their egos aside and assess themselves candidly.
Who We Are
- Our team works hard to achieve a standard of excellence that is extraordinarily high, and along with that achievement comes high satisfaction from our clients. With an overriding objective of excellence, we are a law firm that is superior and constantly improving.
- The best ideas win no matter who they come from. Conflict in the pursuit of excellence is a terrific thing. Criticism – by oneself and others – is essential in the improvement process and should be handled objectively. There should be no hierarchy in the giving or receiving of criticism.
- Because teamwork and team spirit are essential, we hold an intolerance for substandard performance. A member of the Dalton & Tomich team should have the ability to recognize all of the responsibilities required to contribute to the team and its goals, as well as the willingness to work within a group toward those goals. Substandard performance cannot be tolerated when it hurts the entire team.
- As previously stated, our overriding objective is excellence and constant improvement. Money is a by-product of excellence – not a goal. If we operate consistently with the philosophy that we should be proactive and achieve excellence and constant improvement, the company will do well financially. Each person in the firm should take on the mindset of an owner’s responsibility, personally operating in this way and holding others accountable for operating in this way.
