Very busy, highly experienced, family law attorney seeking an associate for a nontraditional associate position. If you are seeking a $75,000 plus associate position, respectfully, please skip this ad. You do not want this opportunity.
I have been practicing Family law for over 35 years. I have been utilizing the same system successfully with regard to taking on new associates. All of them are currently doing extremely well as self employed practitioners or with law firms.
I am looking for a member of the Florida bar who has some litigation/family law experience who is absolutely positively determined to becoming a successful family law attorney. I am looking for that one
Attorney who does not want to take the standard associate, work you to death, traditional path. I am sure proof, that there are alternatives. I need a very motivated, organized, individual.
I offer the following: I will set you up in a very busy family law practice with two paralegals. I will give you an office and the opportunity to be immersed in family law day one. You will be in court with training before you know what happened. I will mentor you in litigation and in family law. I will give you the overwhelming majority of the fee of any case you bring in or any case I refer to you. By way of example, if you bring a family law case with a $2500.00 fee, I will give you 75% of that fee. If I refer you a case, I will give you 90 % of those fees. These fees can easily outpace any salary you would receive in a traditional associate position. My firm will make sure any family case you handle will be done properly with my mentorship.
In return, I will ask that you give my firm a minimum of 15
hours weekly of legal work. That may consist of dealing with clients on the phone, writing memorandum/motions/pleadings/research, appearing in court, etc… And, frankly any other issues that I may ask you to deal with.
The end goal, is that you become proficient in Family law and leave my firm to start your own practice.
A minimal salary is possible.
To be clear, I am not seeking those newly graduated admitted lawyers that are seeking the traditional job. I am seeking those individuals that are looking for an opportunity and willing to take the risk.
Please send me your resume along with a brief email of why you think this opportunity will work for you.
Thank you
