Job Description
Description We are growing! Do you look forward to going to work each day? Life's too short to start your day with dread. We want to come to work each day. At our firm you will be a part of a team where firm culture is a top priority. We invest in each team member as well as in our firm as a whole. You will work with an exceptional team that works collaboratively and creatively, supporting clients in reaching their goals as well as furthering each other's professional growth through mentorship.
At the heart of it, we help good people end broken marriages by practicing family law differently. Clients deserve better than enduring a process that ends in unnecessary, outright warfare. We help clients see that divorce can become a transitional period of remarkable growth and transformation focused on the future rather than the past. We empower clients so they know they have options when facing a divorce, helping them find a better way in line with their goals and core values.
