Responsibilities:

If that’s you, you may be the attorney who could join our team in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Kraayeveld Family Law is looking to add a sixth attorney to the firm. We are a growing business with robust marketing plans, technology, and support staff in place so that our attorneys can focus on their clients and get the clients the best results possible.

Our firm is located in the Boardwalk building, which will provide our team with enjoyable amenities such as free parking, a pool, a gym, and a rooftop deck where our team spends many Fridays enjoying our 'Wine Down' meetings and discussing our victories.

If you are considering applying for this position, we’d first like to share that we are looking for someone who fits our core values. We are vested in finding the right fit for our team. Please read this ad, and if it resonates with you, that is a good indication that you may be our perfect candidate. If you resonate with everything in this ad, please apply!

We go the extra mile for clients. We work hard for clients, and we advocate zealously for clients. Our allegiance is to clients, not the court or opposing counsel. This allegiance requires us to be tenacious litigators who are bold and fearless. This can create intense job satisfaction and immensely thankful clients, but for some people, it also creates stress, and you should consider if you can handle that stress.

Unlike other firms, we have a dedicated billing team that provides collection support eliminating that stress from our attorneys' lives. We believe it is important to be team players and help each other. We work hard to create an environment where we have fun and grow as a team so that the camaraderie provides an environment where we hold ourselves and our team members accountable and we can be honest.

We encourage creativity and passion to help drive new ideas and streamlined procedures to always provide top-quality results. This teamwork has allowed us to invest in technology that makes everyone’s day-to-day tasks easier, and we continuously invest in team growth, allowing everyone on the team to focus on their own contributions toward clients’ successes.

The person who will be joining our team should love to be part of a team, have grit, not give up, and be great at sales (you will sell your legal expertise to clients, and you will sell your client’s position to the judge). On the other hand, you are representing clients who are in a tough spot in their lives, and sometimes that's noticeable, and you will need to be able to emotionally separate your life from your client's situation.

We're seeking individuals passionate about family law for a long-term commitment. If that's you, we encourage you to apply!

From our entry-level positions to our CEO, we want every person on the team to thrive and grow every month. When you spend the majority of your days at work, you should enjoy your job and the people you work with. Thus, we are looking for a great fit.

Qualifications:

• We provide a generous base salary, and with the quarterly bonuses based on collected fees, we expect our attorneys to earn a minimum of $120,000 annually based on a full caseload and reaching their billable hours

• The required minimum billable hours is 110 per month, and we expect our lawyers to reach 1300-1400 billable hours minimum per year

• You must have excellent writing skills and the ability to handle all facets of a family law matter within one year

Compensation:

$80,000 - $120,000
