Description

We are looking for a Family Law Attorney with 3-8 years of Florida family law litigation experience who is ready to step into a high-accountability, high-autonomy environment and own a demanding caseload from inception through trial.

You will manage complex domestic relations matters, contested custody, high-asset property division, modification proceedings, and dependency intersections, with the support of a dedicated COO, elite administrative team, and purpose-built operational infrastructure. You will not babysit your own workflow. You will litigate.
