Job description: Family Law Associate Attorney – Fort Worth, TX

$110,000 – $150,000 base + performance incentives | Full-time | In office, closed Friday afternoons

Practice family law with a full team behind you.

Youngblood Law is a Fort Worth family law firm built around a different idea of divorce: thoughtful, strategic representation that helps clients come out of one of the hardest seasons of their lives in a better position. We're growing, and we're looking for an experienced family law attorney who wants to do excellent legal work without carrying the whole case alone.

Why Youngblood Law

A firm that's growing. Youngblood Law has grown steadily year over year, and we're building for what's next. For you, that means a steady caseload, ongoing investment in staff and systems, and room to grow with the firm.

A real support team. Every attorney is paired with a dedicated paralegal. Our intake, reception, and billing teams handle the phones, scheduling, and invoicing, so you can focus on your clients and your cases.

A defined case process. Every matter follows a clear roadmap, from initial pleadings and temporary orders through discovery, mediation, trial, and final documents. You'll always know where a case stands and what comes next.

A different approach to family law. We negotiate settlements that move clients past the win-lose mindset, and we're fully prepared for court when negotiation isn't enough. Our clients leave feeling they had a thoughtful, caring team in their corner.

Owners who are in it with you. You'll work directly with managing partners Paul and Holly Youngblood, with mentorship and a voice in how the firm grows.

What You'll Do

• Manage your own caseload of divorce, custody (SAPCR), protective order, and adoption matters.
• Build each case strategy around the client's goals, from first consultation through final orders.
• Draft and edit pleadings, discovery, and settlement documents.
• Negotiate with opposing counsel and lead clients through mediation.
• Advocate confidently in hearings and trial when negotiation isn't enough.
• Advise clients on reducing stress and risk during the case, and on preparing for life after it.
• Work closely with your paralegal and the support team to give every client a consistent, caring experience.

Who You Are

Required

• Licensed by the State of Texas (active State Bar of Texas member in good standing)
• 3+ years of Texas family law experience (strong candidates with 2 years and real courtroom experience are encouraged to apply)
• Experience with divorce, SAPCRs, and protective orders.

You'll thrive here if you:

• Take ownership of your caseload and see what needs to happen next without waiting to be asked
• Enjoy working in a team model, with a dedicated paralegal and support staff
• Bring empathy and creativity to clients going through a difficult time
• Are settlement-first but trial-ready
• Bring energy, a positive attitude, and a desire to help the firm grow

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary: $110,000 – $150,000, based on experience and trial background
• Incentive pay: Earn quarterly bonuses on top of your base salary when you reach your billable hour goals.
• Health insurance: Firm pays 75% of premiums
• Dental and life insurance
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Office closes at noon every Friday
• Modern, relaxed office in Fort Worth

Our Hiring Process

We want you to get to know us as much as we want to get to know you.

• Intro call (20–30 minutes). Learn about the firm, the role, and our team.
• Interview with the owners. In person at our Fort Worth office, or by video if you're relocating.
• Written interview. Finalists complete a short written interview (about 45 minutes) so we can see how you approach real family law scenarios.
