Description

Focus on Advocacy, Not the Administrative Burden
Master the Courtroom, Leave the Logistics to Us

If you are a courtroom-ready advocate who thrives on securing victories for families but finds yourself drained by the relentless "administrative grind" of solo or small-firm management, we invite you to elevate your career at our Richmond, TX location. At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, we believe elite legal talent should be defined by their performance in front of a judge, not their time spent on billing cycles and backend logistics.

We have meticulously cleared the path—providing a dedicated support structure of competent paralegals and expert billing teams—so you can reclaim your autonomy and focus exclusively on practicing law at the highest level. Join a collaborative environment where your expertise is the priority, and the "grind" is a thing of the past.

The Law Office of Bryan Fagan is a firm that excels in family, estate planning & probate, and criminal law matters. We have (11) offices in Texas: (2) offices in Houston (Corporate and River Oaks,) and (1) office in Atascocita, Humble, Kingwood, The Woodlands, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Humble. Behind every criminal defense case, there's someone keeping it all together — the discovery, the deadlines, the client who's scared and needs a steady voice between hearings. That's this job.

• Litigate with Excellence: Conduct depositions, mediations, and First-Chair trials using your deep knowledge of the Texas Family Code.
• Provide Counsel: Help clients navigate their toughest chapters with results-driven, compassionate representation.

What We’re Looking For

A "battle-tested" advocate who is ready to step into a powerhouse platform.

• The Credentials: A valid Texas bar license for a minimum of 2 years, bilingual is a plus.
• The Experience: At least 2 years of dedicated Texas Family Law litigation.
• The Skillset: A fearless presence in the courtroom and the ability to manage a high-impact docket under pressure. You are a highly organized advocate experienced in family law hearings, and estate / guardianship proceedings. From initial consults to the precision drafting of pleadings and discovery, you bring energy and discipline to every stage of the litigation process.
• The Tech: Proficient in Clio, TxDoc, Google Suite, and modern e-filing systems.

What You’ll Get

We value your expertise and compensate accordingly. We offer a "Big Law" structure with a "Boutique" focus on people.

• Competitive Earnings: $75k – $130k Base + a bonus structure with $70k+ annual upside.
• The Essentials: 401(k) with up to 5% company match. Affordable Medical, Dental, and Vision plans with Short/Long Term Disability and Voluntary Term Life Insurance.
• Real Balance: PTO, company holidays, and an earned hybrid option designed to protect your work-life balance and mental health.
• Real Support: A dedicated paralegal and billing coordinator assigned to your cases.
