Job description

Miami Family Law Group is looking for a Family Law Attorney to take ownership of a full family law practice, divorce, custody, complex asset division, and related disputes, from initial strategy through resolution. This role is built for a Florida litigator who wants real decision making authority, not a supervised caseload.

You will manage your own docket with paralegal and administrative support handling scheduling and document logistics, so your time stays focused on strategy, client counsel, and courtroom work. Attorneys are available for input when you want it, not oversight when you don't need it.

What You'll Own

• Client relationships from intake through settlement or trial
• Case strategy, negotiation, and courtroom representation
• Drafting pleadings, managing discovery, and taking depositions

What You'll Get

• Genuine autonomy: you make the strategic calls and own the outcomes
• Access to experienced partners for input, not approval
• Paralegal and admin support handling scheduling, filing, and document management

Responsibilities

• Manage a caseload of family law matters from start to finish
• Advise clients on strategy, risk, and next steps
• Draft, review, and argue pleadings, motions, and discovery
• Appear in court for hearings, conferences, and other proceedings
• Prepare for and participate in mediations and settlement negotiations
• Work closely with paralegals and support staff to keep matters progressing
• Maintain strong client communication and high service standards
• Identify legal and procedural issues early and drive cases toward resolution

Required:

• Active Florida Bar membership in good standing
• 5+ years of family law experience
• Substantive trial experience in family law, including first chair trial work, evidentiary hearings, contested custody and asset division trials, and motion practice
• Experience negotiating with opposing counsel and appearing before judges in court proceedings
• Ability to independently manage a full family law caseload
• Experience managing high conflict client relationships
• Excellent written, verbal, and client communication skills
• Strong organization, follow through, and professional judgment

Preferred:

• Experience with mediation and settlement negotiations in family law matters
• Experience mentoring junior attorneys or legal staff

• Competitive salary of 120000-175000 USD/year
• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, retirement
• PTO + CLE budget for continuing education
