Job description

Children First Family Law, PC, is looking to hire a full-time family law attorney with at least three years of experience whose values align with our company's mission. Are you a confident, skilled, empathetic, and compassionate attorney dedicated to making a positive impact in family law? Is your priority the well-being of children, and are you committed to supporting families to flourish despite their challenges, much like transforming broken glass into a beautiful stained-glass window?
