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.

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.

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
  • Optional materials: Writing sample, litigation brief, or other relevant work product (optional but appreciated)
  • We review each application carefully and will contact selected candidates to schedule interviews


Responsibilities
• Manage cases from start to finish: Oversee a caseload of primarily family law matters, along with estate planning and probate cases as assigned, from intake through resolution.
• Client communication: Maintain consistent, professional communication so clients understand their options, timelines, and next steps.
• Client counseling and strategy: Provide sound legal advice grounded in careful review of facts, financial records, and applicable law.
• Settlement and litigation preparation: Pursue reasonable resolution where appropriate, while preparing cases thoroughly for hearing or trial when necessary.
• Court and mediation appearances: Represent clients in mediations, hearings, and trials with preparation and composure.
• Document drafting: Prepare pleadings, agreements, orders, wills, and related documents accurately and on time.
• Case management: Monitor deadlines, maintain organized files, and comply with court and firm requirements.
• Team collaboration: Work closely with support staff to ensure proactive, efficient case management.
• Professional conduct: Demonstrate integrity, steadiness, and sound judgment in all interactions.

Qualifications
• Licensed to practice in Colorado.
• Minimum three years of litigation experience, family law strongly preferred.
• Estate planning and/or probate experience preferred.
• Strong organizational and case management skills.
