Family Law Of Counsel Attorney (Contract)

MUST BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE VIRGINIA STATE BAR IN GOOD STANDING TO BE CONSIDERED.

Divorce litigation leaves everyone worse off. There is a better way to practice.

If you are a skilled Virginia family law attorney committed to a healthier, part-time way to practice and looking for a meaningful, high-impact contract opportunity that prioritizes collaboration, client well-being, and flexibility, Chowdhury Divorce Law Group is the place for you. We are a fully remote firm serving clients across Northern Virginia and are seeking an experienced attorney for a consistent, flexible, part-time role.

• Contract Rate: $75 - $150 per hour

• Target Hours: 10-20 hours per week, offering excellent flexibility for your existing schedule

Note: As this is a contract position, the attorney will not receive firm benefits, including health insurance, paid time off, or 401(k) contributions.

Our Approach to Family Law

At Chowdhury Divorce Law Group, we believe that how a case is handled matters as much as how it resolves. Every decision we make, from the first client call to the final order, is guided by a commitment to resolution over conflict and long-term stability over short-term wins.

For a contract attorney, this commitment means focusing your limited, high-value time on work that promotes resolution:

• Leading with Negotiation. A client comes in ready to fight for the house, the retirement accounts, and primary custody, all at once. Rather than building a litigation strategy around every demand, you take time to understand what they actually need to move forward. You help them prioritize, and you open a channel with opposing counsel that makes a negotiated resolution possible.

• Setting the Right Tone Early. You are retained on a new custody matter. Before filing anything, you reach out to opposing counsel to introduce yourself and signal a cooperative intent. That one call changes the dynamic of the entire case.

• Keeping the Focus on Resolution. You are reviewing a draft motion and notice language that is more inflammatory than necessary. You revise it, not because the facts do not support it, but because you know that escalating the tone will cost your client more time, money, and stress than it is worth.

• Knowing When Court Is the Right Tool. A settlement negotiation has broken down, and your client's interests cannot be protected without judicial intervention. You move forward with confidence and preparation, because going to court when necessary is not a failure of the approach. It is part of it.
