Job Description

You became a lawyer to help people through the hardest chapters of their lives. Not to drown in admin work, chase down support staff, or build systems from scratch. We get it. The Role You'll join us as Of Counsel—which means you're part of the team with all the benefits, but you keep your autonomy. No micromanagement. No pointless meetings about meetings. What you will do: the actual practice of law. You'll stand in courtrooms and make arguments that matter. You'll draft motions that move cases forward. You'll negotiate settlements that let families move on. You'll handle property division and parenting schedules with the kind of skill and empathy that turns chaos into closure. You'll help people part ways with their dignity intact. That's the work.
