Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and settlement agreements. Represent clients in hearings, mediations, and court proceedings. Communicate effectively with clients, opposing counsel, and court personnel. Develop case strategy and deliver practical, grounded legal advice that helps clients navigate difficult moments. What We're Looking For You bring 2+ years of Florida family law experience and are comfortable in a courtroom. You're a strong writer and negotiator who can hold your own in contested matters without losing the human touch — family law clients need an advocate and a steady presence. You manage a busy docket without dropping details. JD from an accredited law school and active Florida Bar membership in good standing are required.
