Arlington Heights, IL | Full-Time | Hybrid
Hybrid Flexibility | Real Courtroom Experience | Clear Path to Senior Role
We're a boutique family law firm that offers genuine schedule flexibility: work from home on your own terms, come in when there's a reason, and keep your commute off the daily schedule. If you want real litigation experience without being tied to a desk five days a week, this is the role.
Moskovic & Associates is a boutique family law litigation firm based in Arlington Heights, IL, serving clients across Cook, Lake, Will, McHenry, Kane and DuPage counties. The firm is built on a reputation for excellent client communication and aggressive, knowledgeable advocacy.
This is a long-term platform role with a clear path to a senior position over time with the firm. The right candidate will have real autonomy, direct partner access, and a firm that is genuinely invested in their development.
About the role:
You'll carry a full family law litigation caseload from intake through trial, working alongside senior partners while owning your matters independently. The role includes regular Zoom and in-person court appearances across Cook and surrounding counties, drafting and managing discovery, and maintaining tight client communication. The schedule is genuinely flexible: you work from home by default and come into the Arlington Heights office when there's a reason: client meetings, specific firm needs, or your own preference. There is no mandatory in-office day count. Zoom and in-person court appearances are built into the role, not treated as an inconvenience to the remote schedule.
