Job description

Join a top-performing family law team where your work changes lives — and where flexibility,

mentorship, and unlimited earning potential aren't just perks, they're how the firm runs.

Why This Role

Sterling Lawyers is one of the fastest-growing family law firms in the country, built on a

fixed-fee model that frees attorneys from billable-hour pressure and lets them focus on

doing great work for clients. We're expanding our presence in Sheboygan and looking for an

attorney to lead that growth — someone who wants ownership over a practice, not just a

caseload.

This is a chance to build real roots in a community, work alongside a genuinely collaborative

team, and grow your career with a firm that invests in your craft.

What You'll Do

• Guide clients through family law matters with clarity, compassion, and strategic thinking
• Investigate the facts of each case — financial records, expert evaluations, prior filings — and build strong, well-researched positions
• Apply relevant case law and court precedent to strengthen client outcomes
• Pursue efficient, cost-effective resolutions for clients, reserving litigation for when it's truly the best path
• Draft pleadings, exhibits, financial disclosures, support calculations, and prenuptial agreements
• Represent clients in court with confidence and skill
• Mentor junior attorneys and delegate effectively to your support team

What You Bring

Required:

• Family law experience — this is non-negotiable for this role
• Based in and working from Appleton, serving clients across Sheboygan, Calumet, Fond du Lac, and Manitowoc counties
• Juris Doctorate

Preferred:

• 5+ years of family law litigation experience
• Familiarity with courts and procedure in the Sheboygan region
• Experience mentoring junior attorneys or leading a team

What You'll Get

• Health, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance — effective the first of the month after you start
• 401(k) matching
• Company-paid Short- and Long-Term Disability
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Real mentorship and coaching to sharpen your craft
• World-class practice support so you can focus on clients, not paperwork
