What You'll Do

As Litigation Attorney, you will:

• •        Litigate a diverse caseload spanning family, criminal, and civil matters — including divorce proceedings, adoptions, prenuptial agreements, custody filings, visitation rights, protective orders, and criminal defense

•        Provide representation of clients in court and through legal proceedings, including daily court appearances, hearings, and jury trials

•        Conduct jail visits to see and advise incarcerated clients

•        Maintain frequent, regular contact with clients and their families throughout their cases

•        Bill at least 30 hours per week (approximately 1,600 hours annually)

•        Win new clients through our intake sales funnel, dedicating at least 5 hours per week to business development

•        Manage your client collection rate, keeping it above 75% every week

•        Work with the in-house financial team to forecast client billings on a weekly basis

•        Mentor and develop assigned Junior Associates and the broader legal support team

•        Participate in JC Law's Perfect Client Lifecycle program to streamline case management and elevate client outcomes

•        Manage a regular schedule of hearings and court appearances

•        Advise JC Law staff on legal matters and the interpretation of laws and statutes

•        Comply with all applicable legal standards and regulations

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a talented litigator who embodies leadership, ambition, and trustworthiness. The ideal candidate will:

•        Be Licensed to practice law in Virginia (a strong plus if also barred in other states where we have offices)

•        Experience litigating domestic, criminal, and civil cases preferred

•        Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence and persuade

•        Superior work ethic and a genuine desire to build a life-long career in the legal profession

•        Highly organized, with the ability to manage time and multi-task competing priorities

•        Knowledgeable in family law areas including childcare, paternity, adoption, domestic violence, ancillary relief, and financial settlements, and willing to continue growing that knowledge base

•        Adept at legal writing — including custody agreements, wills, divorces, annulments, prenuptial agreements, child custody/support, and visitation rights — and ready to grow in each area

•        We believe results count for more than years of experience: if you deliver value for your clients and the firm, there is no limit on how high or how fast you can rise
