Description:
Description:We are looking for an experienced licensed NEW JERSEY DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW Attorney who thrives on making a real difference in people's lives to join a mission-driven team in Northern New Jersey!
Why You'll Love Working Here: We're not your average law firm. We are different in many ways, the first starting with our firm's mission! Our mission is to ensure no child feels unloved or unworthy by either parent (but especially their Father) just because of the demise of the parents' relationship.
With this mission in mind, you will advocate and handle all legal aspects of sophisticated divorce and family law cases from beginning to end, including child custody, child support, equitable distribution, alimony, domestic violence, and post-judgment enforcement and modifications. Our cases are unique and often require working with various experts, such as forensic accountants, best interest evaluators, and/or collaboration with other relevant professionals. You will never be bored!
You will also be embraced by a fully organized office environment, with support staff to make you look even more like the superstar you already are! You will have resources and internal colleagues to bounce ideas off of and gut-check you on legal strategies and tactics—and we hope you will allow us to pick your brain, too! We like to geek out on internal collaborations to expand our thinking for the benefit of the client and our own professional development and experience.
Compensation is DOCE. Candidates with at least 5 years (and beyond) of divorce and family law experience are encouraged to apply!
Responsibilities:
- Draft legal documents, such as pleadings, motions, notices, and discovery requests and responses
- Represent clients in court to argue motions during legal proceedings
- Complete legal research and prepare motions, pleadings, and briefs
- Maintain knowledge of local, state, and federal statutes and applicable laws
Qualifications:
Education & Experience:
- J.D. degree from an accredited law school
- New Jersey Bar License in Good Standing
- Persuasive writing skills and verbal communication skills are critical, along with time management and interpersonal skills
- Work independently while handling a heavy caseload
- Prior experience representing clients in trials, mediation, and arbitration
- 5 years of required experience as a senior associate in the legal field
- Completion of a 4-year bachelor's degree, as well as 3-year law degree from an accredited law school
