Divorce Matters is seeking a highly capable Associate Attorney to join our growing Colorado family law practice. This is an opportunity for an attorney who already knows how to manage litigation, communicate confidently with clients, and contribute meaningfully in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment.

We are looking for someone who is not only smart and hardworking, but who is also steady under pressure, highly organized, and committed to delivering excellent client service. The right candidate will be trusted with meaningful responsibility, supported by a strong team, and given the opportunity to continue growing within an established and respected family law firm.

Divorce Matters is a Colorado-based family law firm with offices in DTC/Greenwood Village, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs. For more than 12 years, we have built our reputation on integrity, compassion, tenacity, excellence, and a commitment to outstanding client service.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Established and growing Colorado family law firm
• Meaningful responsibility and direct client contact
• Strong support from experienced attorneys and paralegals
• Competitive base compensation plus bonus opportunity
• Fully paid employee health insurance
• Hybrid flexibility after on boarding
• Collaborative, high-performing team culture
• Real opportunity for professional growth and advancement

What You Will Do

• Manage a family law caseload with increasing independence
• Represent clients in hearings, status conferences, mediation, and other court proceedings
• Draft strong, well-organized pleadings, motions, and correspondence
• Develop case strategy and move matters forward efficiently
• Communicate directly with clients in a clear, confident, and professional manner
• Work closely with paralegals, attorneys, and firm leadership to deliver excellent service and strong outcomes
• Participate in consultations and help build client confidence through professionalism and responsiveness
• Maintain a minimum annual billable requirement of 1,600 hours

What We Are Looking For

• At least 2 years of family law, domestic litigation, or closely related courtroom experience
• Strong litigation, hearing, and case-management skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Ability to manage competing deadlines and a substantial caseload
• Strong professional judgment and follow-through
• A client-service mindset and the ability to build trust with clients
• A team-oriented attitude and genuine interest in continued growth

Work Arrangement

This is a full-time position based in either our DTC/Greenwood Village office, Fort Collins office, or our Colorado Springs office. The position is primarily in-office during onboarding and training. Hybrid flexibility may be available after approximately 90 days, depending on performance, training progress, and firm needs.

Compensation and Benefits

Base salary ranges from $100,000 to $150,000, depending on experience, litigation ability, case-management skill, and overall fit for the role. Bonus opportunity is also available. Divorce Matters provides fully paid employee health insurance, paid holidays, and flexible PTO. Light travel may occasionally be required.
