Family Law Senior Associate Attorney

Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced family law attorney to join our team. One who can passionately and zealously assist clients in navigating through the sensitive legal issues of family law. We focus our practice on high-conflict divorce and custody litigation that includes issues surrounding abuse, manipulation, and control.

Having an understanding of how trauma can affect the client as well as the litigation process is just as important as having the ability to apply the facts to the law in issues of custody, child support, division of property, alimony, prenuptial agreements, restraining orders, guardianships, and everything else that comes along with either putting together or taking apart a family unit.

The ideal new team member can effectively engage in oral arguments before a Judge just as well as they can negotiate to reach settlement, even in highly stressful and emotional situations. If you are driven by an opportunity to help people during one of the toughest times in their lives and have a proven track record of success, apply now.

$100,000 - $125,000 yearly

• Should live within an approximate hour range from either Westborough or Hanover

Values: C.H.A.N.G.E.

Courageousness: Life unfolds in proportion to your ability to face fears, stand up for what is right, and inspire change. Sometimes, someone else needs you to be courageous for them so they can find the strength in themselves.

Honesty: We don't just tell people what they want to hear. The truth isn’t always the easiest, but not telling it destroys trust.

Ambitiousness: We shoot for the stars and never settle for being just good enough. The goal for massive improvement is to try to be just 1% better every day.

Navigator: Our goal is to be like a lighthouse that continues to shine and guide others through the rough waters to safety.

Growth: We possess a never-ending drive to push ourselves and those around us to continuously improve personally, professionally, and emotionally.

Empowerment: When you change the way you think, you change your future. We cannot empower someone to do or be something; we can only give them the tools to empower themselves to reach their goals.
