About The Position

We are a thriving South Florida family law firm dedicated to guiding clients through some of the most significant transitions of their lives. We are a close-knit, business-minded team where every member plays a critical role in the firm’s success. The firm is small enough that you will know the owner and have direct, meaningful interaction with clients every day, yet established enough to offer the stability, resources, and professional development you are looking for in a long-term career. We take pride in our culture of excellence, compassion, and results. If you are looking for a place where your work truly matters, read on. We are seeking a driven, client-centered Associate Attorney with 2 to 3 years of litigation experience to join our team in South Florida. Experience in family law is preferred, but candidates with a strong civil litigation background will be seriously considered. This is an in-office position based in South Florida. This is not just a job. For the right person, this is a career.
