Why Join Miami Family Law Group

We're a growing firm with a strong reputation for high-quality legal work, and we're looking for a senior attorney who wants to be a cornerstone of that growth — not just another hire.

• Substantive, complex work — You'll own 40–50 active probate and trust disputes at any given time.
• Average case value: $15,000 - $20,000. You'll advise clients directly from intake through settlement or trial, managing strategy independently with collaborative input from partners.
• Organized, well-run practice — We use Clio Manage and structured workflows so you spend time lawyering, not hunting for files. Paralegals and admin staff handle scheduling, document management, and deadline tracking.
• Intentional growth — We're adding 2–3 attorneys over the next 18 months. This role is part of deliberate practice expansion.
• Direct client relationships — You'll build real relationships with high-net-worth families navigating difficult moments. This creates loyalty and the opportunity to grow your own book of business over time.

We are intentionally building a long-term probate litigation practice with stable infrastructure, experienced support staff, and manageable internal processes designed to support senior attorneys.
