Part Time Document Review Attorney Jobs in Colorado

At Brighter Day Law, we believe attorneys should not have to choose between meaningful work, fair compensation, and a sustainable life outside the office.

We have intentionally built a firm where preparation replaces chaos, expectations are clearly defined, and professionalism is consistent rather than performative.

We Offer:

• One of the lowest minimum billing expectations in the market, averaging approximately 1,000 billable hours per year
• Competitive base compensation paired with a transparent, performance-based bonus structure
• Clearly defined standards supported by systems and ongoing coaching
• A mission-driven culture focused on long-term outcomes for families

We are open to salaried, part-time, or full-time arrangements, as well as hybrid or remote work following onboarding for attorneys who can reliably attend in-person hearings and trials in Colorado.

We are seeking a Colorado-licensed attorney with at least three years of litigation experience. Family law experience is strongly preferred. Experience in estate planning and probate is a valued addition, as this role will include a blended caseload over time.

In this role, you will manage primarily family law matters from initial consultation through resolution, while also supporting estate planning and probate cases as assigned. Our approach emphasizes thoughtful resolution when possible and thorough preparation for court when necessary.

This position is well-suited for an attorney who values structure, sound judgment, and helping clients move forward with clarity rather than conflict.

After onboarding, attorneys may work remotely or in a hybrid capacity, provided they can reliably attend assigned in-person hearings, mediations, and trials in Colorado. Candidates located in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, or within a reasonable travel distance to assigned courts are encouraged to apply.

Compensation

Base compensation ranges from $95,000 to $130,000 annually, depending on experience. Attorneys also participate in a transparent, performance-based bonus structure. Total annual compensation typically ranges from approximately $102,000 to $157,000+, depending on quarterly collected fee receipts.

Bonuses are paid quarterly and are calculated based on collected fees. We will walk through the formula and provide a real example during the interview process.

We Also Provide:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Generous paid time off
• 401(k) with employer contributions
• CLE and professional development support
• Disability and life insurance

Specific compensation details will be provided during the offer process.

Our team operates in a structured, coaching-oriented environment where expectations are clear, feedback is direct and respectful, and performance is recognized and rewarded. We pursue excellence through preparation and refinement, not urgency or burnout.

How to Apply

We do not start with resumes. Instead, we ask all applicants to record short video responses to four questions. After you apply, you will receive an email with the questions and submission instructions.

The process is intentional. Candidates who engage with it carefully tell us something important about how they will show up in the role. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
