Miami Family Law Group is seeking an experienced Florida Probate Litigation Attorney to manage sophisticated probate, trust, and estate disputes from pre-suit strategy through resolution, settlement, or trial.

This is a senior-level role for an attorney who already understands probate litigation and wants the autonomy to manage cases independently within a well-supported, organized practice. You’ll work directly with clients, lead litigation strategy, conduct depositions and hearings, and collaborate with experienced attorneys and support staff — without micromanagement or unnecessary bureaucracy.

Our probate litigation practice handles contested estate and trust matters involving fiduciary disputes, inheritance conflicts, undue influence claims, and high-conflict family dynamics.

This is a fully remote position for attorneys licensed and based in Florida.

• Collaborate with probate administration team when litigation matters overlap with active estate administration.
• Conduct legal research using Westlaw, LexisNexis, and other tools
• Work closely with support staff to maintain organized files, meet deadlines, and move cases forward
• Support efficient case resolution while maintaining high service standards

Required:

• Active Florida Bar membership in good standing
• 5+ years of direct Florida probate litigation experience
• Significant experience handling contested probate matters, trust disputes, hearings, depositions, and motion practice
• Ability to independently manage active litigation matters from intake through resolution
• Strong courtroom presence, legal writing, and client advisory skills

Preferred:

• Experience handling complex probate or trust disputes
• Experience with probate administration
• Estate planning experience is a plus
