If you answer "yes" to these questions, keep reading.

Our law firm client in Orange, California seeks a Senior Attorney. Join a firm that has tripled revenue and continues to grow aggressively.

This position offers immediate responsibility, substantial autonomy, full legal support staff, cutting-edge technology, hybrid work, and a genuine path to partnership or ownership.

We're looking for a California family law attorney who wants to help build a premier Orange County law firm—not just maintain someone else's practice. You'll be supported by experienced staff and a steady flow of new matters, allowing you to focus on practicing law rather than building a book of business.

What You’ll Do

• Manage your own family law caseload from initial consultation through settlement or trial. Serve as lead counsel on new matters, develop case strategy, and guide clients through every stage of the family law litigation process.
• Represent clients at hearings, settlement conferences, depositions, mediations, and trials in Orange County and surrounding Southern California courts.
• Provide practical, strategic legal advice on divorce, child custody, child and spousal support, property division, domestic violence, and post-judgment matters. Help clients make informed decisions during some of the most important moments of their lives.
• Negotiate favorable settlements whenever possible while preparing every case as though it may proceed to trial. Draft pleadings, motions, declarations, discovery, and settlement agreements with precision and attention to detail.
• Contribute ideas that improve the firm's systems, workflows, and client experience. As the firm continues to grow, your leadership and input will help shape its future.
• Work closely with the firm's owner and legal support staff in a collaborative, team-oriented environment. Share knowledge, mentor junior team members when appropriate, and help foster a culture of professionalism and continuous improvement.
• Build strong client relationships through responsive communication, sound legal judgment, and compassionate representation. Our reputation is built on outstanding client service, and every team member contributes to that standard.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ Years of California Family Law Attorney Experience: At least five years of California family law litigation experience, including courtroom appearances and trial.
• Bar Admission: Active member of the State Bar of California, in good standing.
• Eligible to work in the United States.
