DescriptionFamily Law Attorney - Plano, TexasThe Radchenko Law Group, PLLC, 5800 Tennyson Parkway, Suite 675, Plano, TX 75024
Full-time, In-office, Compensation commensurate with experience
The short versionWe are looking for a lawyer who wants to try cases.
Not someone who wants to paper a file for two years and settle on the courthouse steps. Someone who wants to stand up, examine a witness, get the ruling, and get better every time. If that is you, we will put you in the courtroom and teach you how to win there.
What you'll do- Carry your own docket of divorce, SAPCR, custody, modification, and enforcement matters
- Handle temporary orders hearings, mediations, and contested final trials
- Take and defend depositions; draft and argue discovery motions
- Draft pleadings, decrees, and orders that hold up when opposing counsel reads them closely
- Work directly with clients - set expectations, deliver hard news, keep them steady
- Second-chair complex trials until you're ready to first-chair them, then first-chair them
What we're looking for- Licensed and in good standing with the State Bar of Texas (or eligible for admission before your start date)
- Trial ambition above all. We are open to years of experience. We will consider a strong newer lawyer with real hearing time and a senior associate ready to run a trial docket. What we will not compromise on is the desire to be a trial attorney
- A hard worker who wants to be taught. You take the note, you fix it, you don't need it twice.
- Sound judgment under pressure and genuine care for clients in crisis
- Strong writing - clear, tight, persuasive
- Organized enough to run a docket without dropping a deadline
- Family law experience is a plus, but drive, work ethic, and courtroom instinct matter more
What you'll get- Real courtroom time, quickly - not after you've "paid your dues"
- Direct mentorship from Halina Radchenko on trial strategy, cross-examination, and case theory
- A voice in how cases are staffed and tried
- Modern practice infrastructure so you spend your hours on lawyering, not administration
- Compensation commensurate with experience, plus benefits and performance bonus
- A firm that will grow with you - this role is built to become a senior trial position
