Full Job Description
Description

We are open to salaried, part-time, or full-time arrangements, as well as hybrid or remote work following onboarding for attorneys who can reliably attend in-person hearings and trials in Colorado.

We are seeking a Colorado-licensed attorney with at least three years of litigation experience. Family law experience is strongly preferred. Experience in estate planning and probate is a valued addition, as this role will include a blended caseload over time.

In this role, you will manage primarily family law matters from initial consultation through resolution, while also supporting estate planning and probate cases as assigned. Our approach emphasizes thoughtful resolution when possible and thorough preparation for court when necessary.

This position is well suited for an attorney who values structure, sound judgment, and helping clients move forward with clarity rather than conflict. Our Colorado office works in pods, so we are especially drawn to people who show up reliably for their colleagues, communicate openly, and stay genuinely open to feedback and mentorship as they grow.

After onboarding, attorneys may work remotely or in a hybrid capacity, provided they can reliably attend assigned in-person hearings, mediations, and trials in Colorado. Candidates located in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, or within a reasonable travel distance to assigned courts are encouraged to apply.

Compensation

Base compensation ranges from $95,000 to $130,000 annually, depending on experience. Attorneys also participate in a transparent, performance-based bonus structure. Total annual compensation typically ranges from approximately $102,000 to $157,000+, depending on quarterly collected fee receipts.

Bonuses are paid quarterly and are calculated based on collected fees. We will walk through the formula and provide a real example during the interview process.

We Also Provide:
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Generous paid time off
  • 401(k) with employer contributions
  • CLE and professional development support
  • Disability and life insurance

Specific compensation details will be provided during the offer process.

How to Apply

If this opportunity reflects how you want to practice law, we encourage you to apply.

Please submit:
  • Resume and cover letter: An up-to-date resume along with a thoughtful cover letter explaining your interest in the role and how your experience aligns with the position.
  • References: A list of professional references we may contact.
  • Writing sample: A litigation brief or other relevant work product.

We review each application carefully and will contact selected candidates to schedule interviews.
