Family Law Attorney (Hybrid)

Oregon Family Law Attorney

Are you a family law attorney who thrives in court, values teamwork, and wants to focus on clients instead of finding them? Sherwood Family Law is growing and looking for a full-time attorney to join our close-knit team.

At Sherwood Family Law, we believe in guiding clients through their hardest times with compassion and clarity. If you're ready to join a firm that cares deeply about both clients and team members, we'd love to hear from you.

What You Will Get:

• A full caseload
• A strong paralegal partner who knows how to support a family law practice
• A team that communicates clearly and has zero internal drama
• A firm that prepares early, stays organized, and values smart strategy
• A excellent salary and bonus structure that rewards consistent performance
• Paid health, dental, vision, PLF coverage, bar dues, 401(K) and CLEs
• A manageable schedule that respects your time
• Hybrid work options
• A stable firm culture without chaos
• No non-billable time requirements for consultations or marketing duties

What You Will Do:

• Handle divorce and custody cases from start to finish
• Develop strategy early and communicate it clearly to clients
• Take responsibility for hearings, conferences, negotiations, and trial preparation
• Work with a team that prepares thoroughly and does not push problems forward
• Contribute to a culture of professionalism, empathy, and preparation.

Who We Want:

• A family law attorney with at least one year of Oregon family law practice
• Someone who has appeared in court and can handle hearings without handholding
• An attorney who is organized, reliable, and follows through
• Someone who can manage clients under stress without losing their own footing
• A professional who wants a healthy, team-oriented environment

If your previous firm left you exhausted from poor systems, inconsistent support, or internal conflict, you will find the difference here immediately. We run a tight ship. We prepare early. We support each other. We treat clients with respect and deliver work that is thorough and organized.

Compensation:

The role is intentionally structured around a light annual billable expectation of 1,200 hours, with the option to take on additional work beyond that threshold. This structure is by design. We do not require non-billable business development or consult work which will immediately save you 400hrs of non-billable work annually.

Base salary varies by experience with additional compensation earned through performance-based bonuses tied directly to billable work above the required threshold. Attorneys who elect to carry higher caseloads can easily earn total compensation exceeding $250,000, while maintaining control over workload and personal time.

We provide full benefits and a stable caseload so you can focus on practicing law and producing consistently.

Our Core Values:

• Understanding and Empathy . We believe that the only way to help our clients is to walk a mile in their shoes. We deeply understand that a custody or divorce is the hardest thing our clients have ever had to experience.
• Always Being Prepared. We don't kick the can down the road and we prepare from the beginning with a solid plan. We live and die by our calendars.
• Playing By The Rules. We don't take short cuts and we believe the rules matter. Yes, it drives us a little bit crazy when an opposing party files their hearing memorandum the morning of trial.
• No Sharp Elbows. We are a tight knit team and value compassion and hard work. We've all had an experience of working at a firm where yelling and abrasiveness was just another day in the office -- it isn't for us.
• Finding The Answers. We try our hardest to find the answers first. We love to learn and all strive to become the best.
