Job description

The Tabo Law Firm is looking for a Family Law Attorney who wants more than a job. We are building a

modern, trial-focused family law firm with strong marketing, a growing team, and a clear vision for

expansion. If you enjoy court, client strategy, and contested family law — and you want to do that work

inside a firm that respects your time, trusts your judgment, and supports you with real infrastructure — this

may be exactly what you have been waiting for.

We are looking for someone who wants to grow with the firm, not simply fill a seat. Compensation reflects

that, and it increases as the firm grows and you contribute to that growth.

Why This Role Is Different

• Meaningful family law litigation — custody, DVRO, contested divorce, and trial-level work
• Strong support from case managers and administrative staff so you can focus on legal work
• No expectation to build a book of business on day one
• Modern, tech-forward firm with clear systems, strong intake, and a real marketing engine
• Direct growth path as the firm scales — this is a career opportunity, not a seat to fill
• Clear performance expectations and bonus opportunity tied to production and firm growth
• A firm culture built on mutual respect, clear communication, and no tolerance for toxicity
• Your time off is your time — we mean that

What You Will Do

• Handle family law hearings and court appearances independently
• Manage custody, support, DVRO, and contested dissolution matters
• Draft and review pleadings, declarations, motions, MSAs, judgments, and orders
• Communicate with clients professionally, consistently, and with empathy
• Work closely with case managers and administrative staff to move cases efficiently
• Participate in case planning, litigation strategy, and process improvement

Whom We Are Looking For

• Licensed California attorney in good standing with 2–5 years of family law experience
• Comfortable in court or genuinely motivated to become courtroom-strong
• Organized and responsive — you manage a busy caseload without things falling through the cracks
• Emotionally steady and client-centered
• Collaborative with staff and attorneys; willing to follow the process and contribute to a team
• Comfortable with technology, systems, and accountability structures
• Interested in growing with a firm that is actively building toward something
• Base salary: $110,000 – $160,000 annually, based on experience
• Quarterly production bonus tied to case volume and performance
• Performance bonus opportunity based on firm growth and individual contribution
• Compensation review at 90 and 180 days for strong performers
• Unlimited PTO + 10 paid office holidays
• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance after probation period
• Retirement plan with employer match after probation period
• $50/month internet reimbursement

Our Mission

We provide peace of mind through command of the law, communication, and compassion. We extend

the same peace of mind to our team.
