Our firm is seeking an experienced senior attorney who is adept at handling a large caseload and familiar with all aspects of the trial process, particularly drafting pleadings, motions, notices, and working toward a resolution. Your years of experience will also help coach our newer associates toward a similar route to success. If this sounds like a perfect position for you, please send us your resume today.

Prepare for and appear at hearings, temporary hearings, mediations, and trials. Take and defend depositions; manage discovery disputes and motion practice. Advise clients on legal strategy, likely outcomes, and next steps with clear, timely communication. Collaborate with the firm’s intake and operations team to maintain strong case momentum. Maintain accurate timekeeping and documentation in the firm’s case management system. Negotiate client-focused resolutions and settlements.

Licensed and in good standing with the State Bar of Georgia. 5 years of litigation experience minimum, with meaningful exposure to family law. Demonstrated courtroom experience (hearings, contested matters, motion practice). Strong writing and legal analysis skills (motions, briefs, discovery).
