Family Law Attorney

An established and highly regarded family law firm in the Chapel Hill area is seeking confident, litigation-ready Family Law Attorney with at least 2 years of family law experience to join its growing team. This is an opportunity to step into a busy, well-supported practice with immediate case responsibility. It is ideal for an attorney who can operate with minimal training and hit the ground running. The firm consists of 4 attorneys and a strong support staff, offering the infrastructure you need to focus on practicing law.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Consistent, high-quality caseload (no business development pressure required)
• Established firm with a phenomenal reputation
• True autonomy – trusted to manage cases independently
• Supportive team environment with experienced staff handling the heavy lifting
• Hybrid work schedule flexibility
• Clear path to high earnings and long-term growth

What You’ll Be Doing

• Independently manage a full caseload of family law matters from intake through resolution
• Handle divorce, child custody, support, domestic violence, and related litigation
• Represent clients in court appearances, mediations, and settlement negotiations
• Provide direct, hands-on client counsel (this is not a back-office role)
• Work closely with paralegals and staff to move cases efficiently and effectively

What You Bring

• 2+ years of direct family law experience (required)
• Demonstrated ability to handle cases with minimal oversight
• Comfort in court and confidence managing hearings and negotiations
• Active license and good standing with the North Carolina Bar
• Strong client-facing skills and ability to build trust quickly
• Highly organized, self-motivated, and accountable

Preferred (But Not Required)

• Board Certified Specialist in Family Law
• Experience handling complex or high-conflict cases
• Existing ties to the Triangle market or referral network

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary + Commission Structure
• Total Compensation: $100,000 – $200,000+
• Health, dental, vision, and life insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Paid holidays and PTO
• Long-term growth potential, including path to equity

The Bottom Line

If you're a family law attorney who’s tired of being over-managed, under-supported, or stuck waiting for real responsibility—this is your chance to step into a high-functioning practice where you can actually practice law and make strong money doing it.
