Description



--- Do you enjoy the courtroom but feel like you haven't quite found your right fit?
--- Are you looking for a position where you can expand on your advocacy talents and learn from skilled attorneys who are invested in your success?
--- Do you want to truly make a difference with how you spend your 9-5?
--- Are you looking for your work "forever home"?


If so, we've saved you a seat!--

Come join the squad at Hembree Bell Law where we help people end their marriages well.

Overview
We are looking to add a litigator to our growing team.----The right person for this role is likely a couple/few years out of law school - maybe you've been doing insurance defense or probate or some criminal law but haven't quite found your "fit".----Maybe you're loving family law where you are but haven't nailed the "culture" aspect at your current firm.----Perhaps you hung your own shingle but realized quickly that though you love the practice of law, you do--not--love the running of a law firm.--

Wherever you've been - one thing is for sure: you enjoy being in the courtroom and want to find a place where you can grow and expand your skillset under the tutelage of seasoned trial lawyers. You're looking for a place with a robust professional training and development program. You love helping people and bring both heart and head to your job.----You're committed to a lifetime of professional and personal growth and want to find an environment where your unique abilities, interests, and skills will have space to flourish over the long haul.

This position is a go-to-court-and-try-cases (if mediation doesn't work) role.----You'll have a skilled support team to do the heavy lifting on drafting, client consults, and admin.----You'll spend your days supporting clients with strategic advice on how they can work toward a smooth settlement while preparing as if their case will go to trial.----At HBLF we believe that cases resolve quickly, more efficiently, and often on better terms when we work them up from the beginning. We are "dealmakers" who get it done because we aren't afraid to take matters to the courthouse steps -----if that's what it takes.--

You'll need a Texas law license or at least be well on your way if you're relocating.----Our lovely office is in NW Hills, so you'd need to be comfortable with whatever commute that would mean for you.----This really isn't a position for a new grad, though we might be persuaded if you can persuade us that you have courtroom experience (like through mock trial or clinic or your former work as a paralegal) and are sure that family law is your life's work.

Compensation: $85,000 and up, DOE + Incentive-Based Compensation and Robust benefits package!

Responsibilities:
--- Working with families dealing with divorce and custody situations from case initiation until every last detail is handled and they are moving on to the next chapter in their lives.
