Job description

We Are Hiring: Associate Attorney — Family Law

Rockville, MD

• Hybrid


• Full-Time

We built this firm on a simple conviction: that when people are overwhelmed by the most complex and consequential situations of their lives, they deserve an attorney who can make sense of it — completely, honestly, and in a way that actually helps them move forward.

And it is the foundation of everything we look for in the people who join us.

We are a well-established and steadily growing family law firm in Rockville, Maryland. After 30 years in practice, we are not hiring because we need bodies. We are hiring because we have found a better way to do this work — with depth, with precision, and with people who are genuinely committed to getting it right — and we want to keep building on it.

If you are a litigator who thinks carefully, goes deep, and can be counted on completely — we'd like to talk.

Why Join Us

• Our Why is real — not a tagline. We exist to make sense of complex situations and help people move forward. Every attorney here does that work with purpose.


• We go deep. Mastery is how we bring our Why to life — and we invest in the expertise of everyone on this team through mentorship, training, and ongoing development.


• We deliver Trust. Clients count on us to be accurate, thorough, and completely reliable. So does our team. That standard applies in every direction.


• Hybrid schedule with genuine flexibility — and we mean it.


• Clear path to growth, including senior associate and partner track opportunities.


• A firm culture that is serious about the work and not serious about itself. We find moments of humor, lightness, and real human connection in the middle of difficult cases — because that is part of how we do this well.

What You Will Do

• Handle a full caseload of family law matters: divorce, custody, child support, protective orders, and more.


• Represent clients in court — litigation experience is required.


• Draft pleadings, motions, settlement agreements, and other legal documents with precision and care.


• Build complete, accurate legal strategies — going deep into the facts of every matter rather than accepting surface-level presentations.


• Counsel clients clearly and honestly, even when the truth is difficult.


• Collaborate with a team that takes the work seriously and each other equally.

What We Are Looking For

• Licensed to practice law in Maryland (DC and/or Virginia a plus).


• 2+ years of litigation experience in Family Law.


• Excellent writing, communication, and courtroom skills.


• The ability to take in complex, emotionally charged situations and make sense of them — for your client, and for yourself.


• Deep professional instincts: you go further than required, you verify rather than assume, and you are the kind of attorney people can count on completely.


• Emotionally intelligent, organized, and level-headed under pressure.


• A sense of humor. Lightness is not optional here — it is part of how we stay human in a serious profession.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience.


• Comprehensive benefits: health, dental, vision, 401(k), generous PTO, and paid holidays.


• Hybrid schedule with real remote flexibility.


• Direct mentorship and ongoing professional development.


• A team that supports each other and shows up — for clients and for each other.


• Modern tools and systems that let you do your best work efficiently.

If you are looking for a firm where the work is meaningful, the people are real, and the standard is high — we would love to hear from you.

Compensation: $110,000 - $150,000 yearly
