Job Description
A bit about us: We're a Family Law firm headquartered in Woodland Hills, representing clients across California on both coasts. Our practice covers the full spectrum of family law matters, from divorce and spousal support to child custody, child support, and domestic violence restraining orders. We pride ourselves on guiding clients through some of the most difficult moments of their lives with both compassion and assertive advocacy, whether a case settles quietly outside the courtroom or demands aggressive representation in front of a judge.
Why join us? You'll get real responsibility early. This is a place where a junior associate carries their own caseload, gets into court, and builds genuine family law expertise rather than sitting on the sidelines. We handle high-stakes matters for clients who have a lot to protect, which means meaningful, substantive work and the mentorship to grow into it. If you want to develop into a strong family law litigator without getting lost in a massive associate pool, this is the kind of environment where that happens.
Job Details We're looking for a family law associate with 1 to 3 years of experience to join our team. You'll manage your own caseload across divorce, custody, support, and domestic violence matters, handling cases from intake through resolution. Day to day, that means drafting pleadings and discovery, preparing for and appearing at hearings, negotiating settlements, and working directly with clients to keep them informed and supported throughout their case. This is a hands-on role with significant court exposure and client contact from the start.
Qualifications
Active membership in good standing with the California State Bar
1 to 3 years of family law experience
Solid working knowledge of California family law and court procedures
Comfortable handling hearings and direct client communication
Strong writing, organization, and case-management skills
Self-motivated and able to manage a caseload independently while knowing when to lean on the team
