Greene County Commissioners Searching For County Attorney

Last updated on Tuesday, March 27, 2018

(BLOOMFIELD) - The Greene County Commissioners have started the search for a county attorney.

The Greene County Daily World reports the attorney would be responsible for providing legal counsel to Greene County personnel and officials concerning the functions of Greene County Government.

Commissioners President Nathan Abrams went before the Greene County Council last month, stating the board wants to start the search early in order to ensure sufficient time for transition as longtime attorney Marilyn Hartman plans to retire.

Have a minimum of three years of experience in the practice of law, preferably in the area of municipal law
Familiarity with the operations of county governmental offices

Ability to work alone with minimum supervision and with others in a team environment
Ability to work on several tasks at the same time and work rapidly for long periods, occasionally under time pressure

A job description can be obtained from Auditor Matt Baker at Greene County Courthouse, 1 E. Main St., Bloomfield, IN, 47424; 812-384-2008; or matthew.baker@co.greene.in.us.
