Job Description

We're seeking an experienced Family Law Attorney to join our VSU. This is a full-time, impactful role supporting local veterans and active-duty personnel from our Jacksonville office.

You'll represent clients in a wide range of family law matters including divorces, child support, paternity, and injunctions for protection. You'll also help identify and address client needs beyond family law - such as housing, employment, consumer, and VA benefits.

Ideal candidates are familiar with military culture, understand military/government retirement benefits, and are sensitive to the unique challenges our veteran clients often face, including trauma and PTSD. Prior military service is a plus, but not required.

What You'll Do:

• Conduct client intake interviews and provide thorough legal counsel
• Draft motions, pleadings, and supporting legal documents
• Represent clients in depositions, hearings, trials, mediation, and settlement negotiations
• Supervise support staff and contribute to team development
• Maintain compliance with grant reporting and program requirements
• Plan and participate in outreach events and legal clinics
• Stay up-to-date on family law statutes, procedures, and case law

What We're Looking For:

• Member in good standing of the Florida Bar
• At least 1 year of marital and family law experience
• Knowledge of Florida Family Law Rules of Civil Procedure
• Experience working with veterans or active-duty military is strongly preferred
• Excellent litigation, counseling, and interpersonal skills

Why Join Us?

We're recognized as one of the premier public interest law firms in the Southeast, with a culture rooted in mentorship, professional growth, and impactful work.

• Immediate opportunities to litigate cases and serve clients directly
• Hybrid work options (where available) and flexible, trust-based environment
• Staffed by experts: our team includes award-winning attorneys, subject matter leaders, and future judges and magistrates
• A culture that values diversity, inclusion, and professional development

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive salary, based on experience
• Sign-on bonus
• Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, life & disability insurance, and 401(k) with 6% match
• Generous leave: 13 paid holidays, 22 personal leave days in the first year, plus a month-long sabbatical every 4 years
• Access to an exclusive employee discount network
• Hybrid work model (depending on the position)

If you're ready to make a difference for those who served our country while advancing your own legal career, we'd love to hear from you.
