Description
Sherwood Family Law is hiring an experienced family law litigator who is ready for a better environment. If you have spent the last few years carrying a heavy caseload in a messy or understaffed firm and want a place with real support, predictable systems, and a team that works together, this is the role.
We are not looking for a beginner and this is not a training role. We are looking for an attorney who knows the work, wants to get better, and wants a firm that reflects their standards.
Positions open in our Sherwood, OR and Vancouver, WA offices.
What You Will Get:
- A full caseload
- A strong paralegal partner who knows how to support a family law practice
- A team that communicates clearly and has zero internal drama
- A firm that prepares early, stays organized, and values smart strategy
- An excellent salary and bonus structure that rewards consistent performance
- Paid health, dental, vision, PLF coverage, bar dues, 401(K) and CLEs
- A manageable schedule that respects your time
- Hybrid work options
- A stable firm culture without chaos
- No time requirements for consultations or marketing duties
What You Will Do:
- Handle divorce and custody cases from start to finish
- Develop strategy early and communicate it clearly to clients
- Take responsibility for hearings, conferences, negotiations, and trial preparation
- Work with a team that prepares thoroughly and does not push problems forward
- Contribute to a culture of professionalism, empathy, and preparation
Who We Want:
- A family law attorney with at least two years of Oregon OR Washington family law practice
- Someone who has appeared in court and can handle hearings without handholding
- An attorney who is organized, reliable, and follows through
- Someone who can manage clients under stress without losing their own footing
- A professional who wants a healthy, team-oriented environment
- No sharp elbows
If your previous firm left you exhausted from poor systems, inconsistent support, or internal conflict, you will find the difference here immediately. We run a tight ship. We prepare early. We support each other. We treat clients with respect and deliver work that is thorough and organized.
Compensation:
Total compensation typically ranges from $150,000 to $300,000 depending on experience, billable performance, and overall contribution. We support you with full benefits and stable caseloads so you can focus on your work and produce consistently.
Our Core Values:
- Understanding and Empathy. We believe that the only way to help our clients is to walk a mile in their shoes. We deeply understand that a custody or divorce is the hardest thing our clients have ever had to experience.
- Always Being Prepared. We don’t kick the can down the road and we prepare from the beginning with a solid plan. We live and die by our calendars.
- Playing By The Rules. We don't take short cuts and we believe the rules matter. Yes, it drives us a little bit crazy when an opposing party files their hearing memorandum the morning of trial.
- No Sharp Elbows. We are a tight knit team and value compassion and hard work. We've all had an experience of working at a firm where yelling and abrasiveness was just another day in the office -- it isn't for us.
- Finding The Answers. We try our hardest to find the answers first. We love to learn and all strive to become the best.
