Join Our Dallas Team as a Family Lawyer

We’ve seen tremendous growth in our family law division and we’re looking to expand our team – with the best of the best in family law. As our firm grows, we are looking to bring our signature level of service to Dallas. If you are a motivated self-starter with an excellent track record and reputation in Dallas, we want to talk to you.

We help individuals and families navigate emotionally charged family law matters, including divorce, mediation, child custody disputes, child support, property and asset division, spousal support, prenuptial agreements, and post-divorce modifications. We aim to make this time as painless as possible for our clients while achieving exceptional results.

Who We Are Looking For

We are proud of our firm family and are looking for just the right Associate Attorney (or Senior Associate) to join our family law practice. The best candidates are results-oriented, solution-focused, and team players. They love the law and are fierce advocates for their clients. They have a can-do attitude and are willing to do whatever it takes, whenever needed, to get the job done. If you think you fit the bill, keep reading.

Qualities That Will Set You Apart

1. You love people. We help them during the toughest times of their lives, and we provide a level of service that goes beyond anything in our industry. We call this connecting with compassion (and there’s our fourth core value, if you’re counting).
2. You are tech-savvy. We leverage technology to enhance the client journey. New tools and new processes mean you have to be able to adapt as technology changes to stay on the cutting edge of the level of service we provide our clients.
3. You must be drama-free. We have cultivated a drama-free workplace. We are big believers in being accountable to ourselves and taking responsibility for the things we can change.
4. You love working hard and being rewarded for it. Our goal is to nurture the best of the best. You’ll hear us say we want to be end game for our people – the place they come and stay because they couldn’t imagine working anywhere else.
