Associate Attorney - Family Law

$110k - $140k

The Drake Law Firm

Description

3+ years Colorado family law experience | $110,000-$140,000 + quarterly bonus | Full-time, in person

Divorce and custody cases are often the hardest chapter of a person's life. Clients come to us at their most vulnerable, and they deserve a lawyer who tells them the truth, fights when it matters, and skips the legalese so they can understand what's happening in their own case.

We're hiring a family law associate who wants to do this work well: someone who can stay steady with a client who is falling apart without losing the thread on strategy, and who understands that a case isn't a docket number. It's someone's life, children, assets, and future.

If that sounds like the job you've been looking for, keep reading.

HOW WE WORK

We built this firm on one standard, and it's not negotiable: fierce, honest, compassionate advocacy, especially when the stakes are high and the situation is messy. In practice, that means:
  • We tell clients the truth. Even when it's not what they want to hear.
  • We fight when it counts, and we don't manufacture conflict to run up a bill.
  • We keep the client's real goals as our true north, not the drama of the courtroom.
  • We don't put up with toxic behavior. Not from clients, not from each other. No exceptions.
If you want to practice family law somewhere with a backbone and a heart, this is the place.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
  • Salary: $110,000-$140,000 per year, based on experience
  • Quarterly bonus: 10% of everything you collect above your minimum quarterly collected amount, paid the pay period after each quarter closes.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance paid by the firm.
  • 401(k) with a 4% firm match after 1,000 hours or one full year of employment.
  • 15 days of paid time off per year, accrued from your first day, usable for vacation, personal time, or sick leave.
  • Colorado bar fees and CLEs reimbursed.
  • Application deadline: November 15, 2026
