Job description

Adinolfi, Roberto & Burick, P.A. is an established matrimonial and family law firm serving clients throughout New Jersey from our Mount Laurel office. Our practice is devoted exclusively to family law — divorce, custody and parenting time, child and spousal support, equitable distribution, domestic violence, and post-judgment enforcement and modification. We handle complex, high-conflict, and financially significant matters, and we are known in the Family Part for preparation, credibility, and results.

We are a firm where attorneys have real ownership of their cases and direct access to partners who will invest in their development. We are hiring a Senior Associate to carry an independent docket and help lead the firm's next generation.

The Role

As an experienced Associate, you will manage your own caseload from intake through resolution with substantial autonomy, appear regularly in the Family Part, and serve as a mentor and first point of contact for our associates and paralegals. This is a partnership-track position for an attorney seeking long-term growth with a firm investing in its future.

What We’re Looking For

• Admission to the New Jersey Bar in good standing (Pennsylvania admission is a plus but not required)

• Demonstrated Family Part courtroom experience — motion argument, plenary hearings, and trial or significant trial support
• Working command of New Jersey family law practice, including Court Rules Part V, the alimony and child support statutes, the Child Support Guidelines, and the equitable distribution factors
• Experience with the Early Settlement Panel process, economic mediation, and custody/parenting time mediation
