Description du poste

Great family law attorneys deserve more than endless Zoom meetings and no meaningful support.

Every family law firm says they “care about families,” but if you’ve ever been stuck cleaning up chaotic disclosures, redrafting sloppy motions, and explaining to the ‘senior attorney’ what Drahos calculations are (again), you know that not every family law firm cares about their attorneys.

At DM Cantor’s Family Law Practice, we understand that you didn’t go to law school, rack up debt, and spend countless hours honing your trial skills to push paper at a firm where no one is actually in the office and you’re lucky if someone knows your name. You deserve high-stakes cases, a proactive and experienced support team, face-to-face mentorship beyond “fingers crossed,” and a career trajectory that doesn’t end in someone else’s shadow.

We don’t hire warm bodies; we only hire the attorneys who are “A players,” and who actually practice law with legal acumen and grit. DM Cantor Family Law Practice is Arizona’s leading trial-focused family law firm. We handle complex cases that demand creativity, tenacity, and profound legal knowledge. Our attorneys collaborate in person daily, combining expertise and insight to deliver the best outcomes for our clients. We prioritize results over ego, mentorship over hierarchy, and excellence over shortcuts. Our cases challenge us, our team supports one another relentlessly, and our wins are celebrated loudly. At DM Cantor Family Law Practice, your work will matter every single day.

At DM Cantor, we offer:

• Competitive Compensation and Benefits: Minimum base salary of $200,000 per year, or more, depending on experience. Plus, objective quarterly and annual billable hours bonuses totaling $40,000 to $90,000 or more annually. Our associate attorneys bonuses averaged $55,000 in the 2025 compensation year. There is also a “personal referrals bonus” in addition to the standard billable hour bonus!

Benefits include:

• Time off: 30 paid days off annually. 10 holidays, 15 vacation days, and 5 personal/sick days.
• Loyalty vacation program: Earn one additional day off each year (for 5 years), then an additional five days at year 10, another 5 days at year 15, and so on.
• Medical Insurance: DM Cantor covers 50% of the individual insurance in your first year and 100% after and covers 100% of your family’s insurance at year 5.
• Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance: Employees enjoy dental, vision, and life Insurance paid fully by DM Cantor.
• 401(k): DM Cantor generously matches up to 3.5% of employees’ compensation based on their 401(k) contributions.
• Breakfast is catered for the firm every Monday, Family-style lunches are catered bi-weekly, and quarterly happy hours, firm outings, and other gatherings occur throughout the year. Families and children’s attendance are always encouraged at DM Cantor. We care about our attorneys and their families. In recent years, our staff has enjoyed various in-suite Suns basketball games, Cardinals tickets, dinners at exclusive members’ clubs, Michelin-Star outings, and banquets at The Biltmore, The Phoenician, and The Camelback Inn. We understand that hard work deserves great rewards.
• Hybrid Environment: Attorneys work full-time, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Following an introductory period, attorneys have the option to work one day remotely each week. Many choose to, while others prefer the panoramic views of the Phoenix skyline from our penthouse suite and multiple floors in the prestigious Two Renaissance Tower Downtown, where employees enjoy endless snacks, drinks, employee lounges, and excellent restaurants in the building and within walking distance.
• 40-and-out: In addition to one remote-working day, attorneys can “call out” (and be available by phone) each Friday if they have already met a billable hour requirement of 40 hours per week. For example, if you bill 40 hours by Friday at 10 a.m., you can head home for the day, or if you bill 40 hours by Thursday night, you don’t have to come into the office at all on Friday!
• Mentorship and CLEs: DM Cantor invests in conferences, mentorship, and strategy sessions to make you a better attorney, not a busier one. Our firm has an internal mentorship program to ensure daily progress. Our attorneys meet monthly as an entire group to strategize and discuss cases and recent developments in the law. DM Cantor also pays for attorneys' continued learning (CLE) requirements.

What We’re Looking For:

• Minimum 2 years of Arizona family law experience
• Ability to manage 20-25 active cases, including dissolution, custody, and third-party rights
• Experience with high-net-worth clients and business valuations is a plus
• Strong litigation, client management, and communication skills
• Passion for helping families navigate complex legal matters
• Driven, detail-oriented, with a settlement-focused, but trial-ready mindset
