Job Description

Pay: $97,500.00 - $120,000.00 per year

Why This Is a Great Opportunity

• Do meaningful, high-impact work every day — you will be advocating for individuals and families navigating some of the most important moments of their lives, including divorce, custody, and support matters
• Work fully remotely with the flexibility to work from home or visit a physical office when you choose — we offer the best of both worlds
• Join a collaborative, upbeat team that genuinely supports one another and takes pride in delivering outstanding client outcomes
• Handle a dynamic, varied caseload — from prenuptial agreements and parenting time disputes to high-conflict custody and domestic violence matters — keeping your practice substantive and engaging
• Grow professionally in a firm that values your contributions and is actively expanding its footprint

Location: This is a fully remote position based in Illinois. While you can work from anywhere in the state, we also offer two office locations if you prefer a professional workspace or enjoy the energy of an in-person environment. Flexibility is built into how we work.

Note: Candidates must hold an active Illinois Bar license and have 4 or more years of family law experience. This role is not suitable for candidates without both qualifications.
