Description

Family Law Attorney - Plano, Texas

The Radchenko Law Group, PLLC, 5800 Tennyson Parkway, Suite 675, Plano, TX 75024

Full-time, In-office, Compensation commensurate with experience
The short version

We 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


To apply

Send the following with the subject line "Family Law Attorney - Plano":
  1. Your resume
  2. A writing sample (a brief, motion, or pleading you drafted - redacted as needed)
  3. A short note telling us why you want to be a trial lawyer

No cover letter formalities required. Tell us plainly what you want to build and why here.
