Reporting To: Kimberly Washington

Compensation: $75,000 - $130,000 / year

Description

If you are a courtroom-ready advocate who thrives on securing permanent solutions for families but is tired of the administrative burdens of solo or small-firm practice, we would love to connect.

About Us: 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.

What You’ll Do

You won’t have to worry about hunting for leads or chasing invoices. You will lead impactful adoption and family law cases from initial intake to finalization with the full support of our marketing and administrative teams.

• Lead the Strategy: All aspects of family law, to include adoptions under the Texas Family Code.
• Command the Courtroom: Represent clients in Harris County and surrounding courts with confidence and clarity.
• Litigate with Excellence: Conduct hearings, mediations, and consults using your deep knowledge of Texas family laws, regulations, and state agency compliance.
• Provide Compassionate Counsel: Help families navigate their most emotional and rewarding chapters with results-driven, empathetic representation.

What We’re Looking For

An experienced, compassionate advocate who is ready to thrive in a highly collaborative legal environment.

• The Credentials: A valid Texas bar license for a minimum of 2 years.
• The Experience: At least 2 years of dedicated Texas Family Law litigation, with a strong focus on adoption procedures.
• The Skillset: A strong presence in the courtroom and the ability to manage a busy docket with care and composure. You are a highly organized advocate experienced in drafting adoption petitions, agreements, pleadings, and discovery with exceptional attention to detail.
• The Tech: Proficient in Clio, TxDoc, Google Suite, or similar drafting and client management software.

What You’ll Get

We value your expertise and compensate accordingly, offering the infrastructure of a large firm alongside a warm, people-first culture.

• Competitive Earnings: $80k – $130k Base (commensurate with experience) + an attractive bi-weekly billable hour bonus structure with an opportunity to make up to $70k.
• 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: Generous PTO, company holidays, and an earned hybrid option designed to protect your work-life balance and mental health.
• Real Support: A dedicated paralegal and support staff assigned to your cases so you can focus entirely on managing your clients' journeys.

We’ve spent over a decade building a reputation for excellence and client care in Texas. Here, your skills are respected, your professional growth is supported, and your mission is clear: providing elite legal representation and building families without the burnout of business development.

Equal Opportunity Statement: We recognize that diverse experiences, perspectives and backgrounds enable us to be an even stronger company and workplace. Not only will you be welcome here, your unique thoughts and opinions will be encouraged, celebrated and deeply valued.
