Ernest Law Group seeks a Family Law Attorney
Ernest Law Group, PLC, a well-established, woman-owned firm in the heart of Virginia Beach, is seeking a dedicated attorney to join our growing family law team. This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who wants real responsibility, hands-on experience, and room to grow. We consider newly licensed as well as seasoned attorneys for this position.

About Us:
Ernest Law Group, PLC is a modern litigation boutique known for delivering outstanding legal representation. Our practice includes family law, immigration, estate planning, bankruptcy, and personal injury, and our commitment to excellence has earned us a strong reputation throughout the Hampton Roads community.

The Role:
As a member of our family law team, you'll handle a broad range of matters, including:
  • Contested and uncontested divorces
  • Child custody and visitation
  • Spousal and child support
  • Adoptions and guardianships
  • Prenuptial agreements
  • Mediations
  • Protective orders

You'll take on meaningful responsibility from day one, with exposure to every facet of a busy litigation practice, giving you the opportunity to build your own caseload and sharpen your skills.

Why Join Us?
  • Professional Growth: Take on substantive legal work and build expertise across the full spectrum of family law matters.
  • Supportive Team: Whether you're an experienced litigator or early in your career, you'll join a team committed to your success. Less experienced attorneys are paired with a dedicated mentor.
  • Flexible Schedule: We offer schedule flexibility, with pro-rated compensation available for reduced or part-time arrangements.

Who We're Looking for:
  • Licensed to practice law in Virginia, in good standing with the Virginia State Bar
  • Client-focused, with strong communication and people skills
  • Comfortable with technology and modern practice-management tools
  • Able to work independently while thriving in a team environment
  • Open to attorneys at any career stage, from new admittees to seasoned litigators

Compensation:
This position is structured as a generous fee-share arrangement rather than a fixed salary. Your earning potential is directly tied to your performance and caseload. Associates typically earn $100,000 – $200,000 in their first year. For attorneys who are driven and client-focused, this structure rewards hard work with real, uncapped income potential.
