Job Description

Love family law—but tired of the commute, office politics, and cookie-cutter firm culture? This may be exactly what you've been looking for.

Join a fast-growing, highly respected family law firm where talented attorneys are trusted, supported, and given the opportunity to do meaningful work without being chained to an office.

This is a 100% remote attorney position serving clients throughout Middle and South Georgia — including Macon, Warner Robins, and Columbus in Middle Georgia, and Valdosta, Albany, and Thomasville in South Georgia — giving you the freedom to work from home while handling challenging, high-impact family law cases. You'll travel throughout the region as needed for court appearances, mediations, depositions, and other case-related proceedings—but your day-to-day practice is remote.

We're looking for an experienced family law attorney who wants more than just another job: strong cases, real responsibility, professional growth, excellent support, competitive compensation, and a team that genuinely wants you to succeed.

Compensation:

$150,000 – $200,000 Base

Responsibilities:

• Independently manage a full caseload of family law matters, including divorce, custody, child support, modifications, contempt matters, and related domestic-relations cases throughout Middle and South Georgia

• Develop thoughtful, strategic case plans based on the facts, the law, and each client's objectives

• Conduct thorough legal research and analysis when difficult or novel issues arise

• Draft clear, persuasive motions, pleadings, briefs, discovery, and other litigation documents

• Represent clients confidently in hearings, depositions, mediations, motions practice, and trials

• Travel to courts throughout Middle Georgia ( Macon, Warner Robins, Columbus ) and South Georgia ( Valdosta, Albany, Thomasville ) as necessary for in-person appearances

• Negotiate intelligently and aggressively when appropriate, while recognizing when settlement serves the client better than continued litigation

• Collaborate with attorneys, paralegals, and firm leadership on complex cases and litigation strategy

• Communicate proactively with clients so they understand both the legal details and the bigger strategic picture

• Maintain organized, accurate case files, deadlines, documentation, and billing records throughout every matter

Qualifications:

• Active license to practice law in Georgia

• 5+ years of family law litigation experience

• Meaningful experience handling contested family law matters

• Courtroom experience and the confidence to advocate independently

• Must be based in Middle Georgia and have the willingness and ability to travel throughout Middle Georgia ( Macon, Warner Robins, Columbus ) and South Georgia ( Valdosta, Albany, Thomasville ) for hearings, mediations, depositions, trials, and other proceedings

• A professional and reliable home-office setup suitable for remote client meetings, hearings, and case-management work
