    Job Description

    Join a top-performing family law team where your work changes lives — and where flexibility, mentorship, and unlimited earning potential aren't just perks, they're how the firm runs. 
     
    Why This Role
    Sterling Lawyers is one of the fastest-growing family law firms in the country, built on a fixed-fee model that frees attorneys from billable-hour pressure and lets them focus on doing great work for clients. We're expanding our presence in Sheboygan and looking for an attorney to lead that growth — someone who wants ownership over a practice, not just a caseload. This is a chance to build real roots in a community, work alongside a genuinely collaborative team, and grow your career with a firm that invests in your craft
     
    What You'll Do
    • Guide clients through family law matters with clarity, compassion, and strategic thinking
    • Investigate the facts of each case — financial records, expert evaluations, prior filings — and build strong, well-researched positions
    • Apply relevant case law and court precedent to strengthen client outcomes
    • Pursue efficient, cost-effective resolutions for clients, reserving litigation for when it's truly the best path
    • Draft pleadings, exhibits, financial disclosures, support calculations, and prenuptial agreements
    • Represent clients in court with confidence and skill
    • Mentor junior attorneys and delegate effectively to your support team 
    What You Bring
    Required:
    • Family law experience — this is non-negotiable for this role
    • Based in and working from Appleton, serving clients across Sheboygan, Calumet, Fond du Lac, and Manitowoc counties
    • Juris Doctorate
    • Active Wisconsin Bar license, in good standing
    Preferred:
    • 5+ years of family law litigation experience
    • Familiarity with courts and procedure in the Sheboygan region
    • Experience mentoring junior attorneys or leading a team 
    What You'll Get
    • 75,000–$175,000 average annual compensation
    • Health, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance — effective the first of the month after you start
    • 401(k) matching
    • Company-paid Short- and Long-Term Disability
    • Paid vacation and holidays
    • Real mentorship and coaching to sharpen your craft
    • World-class practice support so you can focus on clients, not paperwork
