Job DescriptionJob Description

We believe every client deserves the opportunity to see (and taste) the rainbow on the other side. Can you visualize what that feels like? Looks like? For many clients, this is an unfamiliar sight. We are devoted to getting them there. We do what we do because it’s our mission to get to the other side of an ugly legal situation.

What do we have to offer?

  • A competitive starting salary and performance-based bonus system
  • Generous health benefits
  • Room to grow and develop with a thriving firm
  • The ability to laugh at the unique scenarios we take on

We are searching for somebody who will help our attorneys and clients make it through family law issues, such as divorces, child custody, adoptions, and more.

Our firm is a female-led, minority, woman-owned, LGBTQIA+ law firm​ with clear values. We are candid. We want and help our staff to grow, personally and professionally. We are genuine and open-minded with our staff; we hope for growth, both professionally and personally. Our mission is to instill accountability and create opportunity.
