Family Attorney

About the Firm

We are a Texas family law firm serving Collin, Denton, Dallas, and Tarrant Counties. Clients come to us in the hardest season of their lives — divorces, custody fights, protective orders — and they need someone who can actually handle a contested hearing, not just draft around one. We are small enough that your work matters immediately and lean enough that there is nowhere to hide. That is the trade: real responsibility, real feedback, real time on your feet.

Responsibilities

You will carry your own docket of divorce, SAPCR, custody, modification, and enforcement matters. Your responsibilities will include:

• Handling temporary orders hearings, mediations, and contested final trials
• Taking and defending depositions; drafting and arguing discovery motions
• Drafting pleadings, decrees, and orders that hold up when opposing counsel reads them closely
• Working directly with clients — setting expectations, delivering hard news, keeping them steady
• Second-chairing complex trials until you're ready to first-chair them, then first-chairing them

Requirements

We are looking for a lawyer who is licensed and in good standing with the State Bar of Texas (or eligible for admission before your start date). You should have:

• Trial ambition above all
• A strong work ethic and desire to be taught
• Sound judgment under pressure and genuine care for clients in crisis
• Strong writing — clear, tight, persuasive
• Organizational skills to run a docket without dropping a deadline

Benefits

You will receive:

• Real courtroom time, quickly — not after you've "paid your dues"
• Direct mentorship from Halina Radchenko on trial strategy, cross-examination, and case theory
• A voice in how cases are staffed and tried
• Modern practice infrastructure so you spend your hours on lawyering, not administration
• Compensation commensurate with experience, plus benefits and performance bonus
• A firm that will grow with you — this role is built to become a senior trial position

Pay

Compensation for this role is $105,000.
