Family Law Attorney

If you've been practicing family law for a few years, you don't need a job post to explain the work to you. What's worth knowing is what's different here.

We're hiring an experienced family law attorney for our Freehold office — Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex counties.

Let's start with the number most firms won't print

Our billable requirement is 1,550 hours.

Most firms set targets between 1,700 and 2,300, and litigation practices typically land at 1,800 to 2,000 or higher. The New York State Bar Association has recommended capping requirements at 1,800 out of concern for attorney mental health. We're 250 hours below that cap.

We put it up front because it's the first thing you'd want to know, and because we're not uncomfortable with the answer.

The support behind you

Your matters are yours to run — real autonomy over strategy, real ownership of your clients.

Behind you: paralegals, team members who make time when you need them, and systems built specifically for family law. Doors stay open here, coaching is there whenever you want it, and that collaboration is the first thing our attorneys mention when you ask them what it's like.

All of it exists so you can give every client the level of legal care, service, and attention their matter deserves. You practice law. The firm handles everything that isn't practicing law.

What our team members say about it

In 2026, U.S. News & World Report named us to its Best Companies to Work For: Law Firms list. We scored higher than any other law firm in New Jersey.

Five out of five for work-life balance. Five out of five for quality of pay. Five out of five for belonging, for comfort, and for professional development.

That list is scored from publicly available team member sentiment — Glassdoor reviews written over a five-year window, analyzed by an independent data partner — measured against what U.S. News calls an “Employee's Hierarchy of Needs,” adapted from Maslow: compensation and job security at the base, belonging and professional fulfillment at the top. None of it is self-reported. We couldn't have written it if we wanted to.

We've also been named Tier 1 for Family Law in New Jersey by Best Lawyers' Best Law Firms every year since 2023, and Family Law Firm of the Year in the New Jersey Law Journal's Best Of awards.

The firm

Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group is New Jersey's largest firm devoted exclusively to divorce and family law. Four offices, and family law is the only thing we do. You would not be the family law attorney inside a general practice firm, taking whatever else walks through the door.

What we're looking for

• Admission to the New Jersey Bar

• 4+ years of family law experience — NJ Family Part preferred

• Motion practice under your belt; trial experience a plus

• Writing that holds up — family law is won and lost in certifications and briefs

Compensation

$110,000 – $200,000+. The range is wide because we hire across all of it. The more experience you bring, the more we're able to pay.

Benefits

Full benefits: health insurance, dental, vision, life and disability coverage, a retirement plan with firm match, and paid time off. CLE and bar dues covered, including support toward Certified Matrimonial Attorney status.

Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group is an equal opportunity employer.
