Family Law Attorney

Do you want to make a difference in your client's and their family's lives by helping them protect their future and their children’s future? Do you thrive on helping people change the trajectory of their lives? Do you enjoy creating out-of-the-box solutions for families that work now and will work years from now? Can you be a warrior in the Courtroom, but the client whisperer in the office, helping them with creative solutions that will protect them legally and leave them in a better position than when they started?

We are a growing, entrepreneurial firm on track for aggressive growth and need an experienced attorney to join our team and represent clients in family law and special education matters. Both family and special education law can create highly emotional situations for our clients with complex legal challenges. We are looking for an attorney who can embrace challenges and help our clients as they face one of the most stressful times in their lives.

The position will be responsible for representing clients in family law and education law matters. While experience in special education law is not required, a commitment and desire to work with families with disabilities is a must, in addition to family law experience. The desired applicant should have courtroom experience, as well as proficiency in legal research and written legal arguments. The attorney must also be comfortable and experienced in working with mental health professionals and experts.

The ideal candidate will have 3-5 years of experience in the field of family law. A special education background or experience is a plus, but we will provide training in substantive law. Courtroom experience is a must, and the position will require an attorney to be comfortable handling a case from start to finish in a courtroom or administrative hearing and to hit the ground running while working as a team player.

Base salary commensurate with experience, with bonuses based on production.
