Family Attorney

You love family law, but the long commute, office politics, and traditional law-firm environment are wearing you down. If you're looking for a firm where you can focus on practicing law without being tied to a desk or stuck in a cookie-cutter culture, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Join a growing and highly respected family law firm that believes great attorneys do their best work when they are trusted, supported, and given the autonomy to take ownership of their cases. Here, you'll have the opportunity to handle meaningful, high-impact family law matters while having the flexibility of a fully remote work environment. This is a 100% remote attorney position serving clients throughout Middle and South Georgia, including Macon, Warner Robins, and Columbus in Middle Georgia, as well as Valdosta, Albany, and Thomasville in South Georgia. Your day-to-day practice will be remote, allowing you to work from home while managing challenging family law cases. Travel throughout the region will be required as needed for court appearances, mediations, depositions, and other case-related proceedings. We're looking for an experienced family law attorney who wants more than simply another position.
