Senior Family Law Associate Attorney | 49.3%–54.3% of Collected Fees

Beal Law Firm is a respected family law practice with more than 150 years of combined legal experience. Founded by Eric D. Beal—Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization—we represent clients in high-stakes and complex divorce, custody, and family law matters across the DFW Metroplex and throughout Texas.

Exceptional Senior-Associate Compensation

Our Senior Associates receive total compensation equal to 49.3% to 54.3% of their billed-and-collected fees.

More importantly, our Senior Associates average more than 48% of all fees they bill in total compensation, regardless of whether every dollar is ultimately collected.

This is a real, established compensation model—not merely hypothetical upside. Skilled, productive attorneys have a meaningful opportunity to control their income while practicing with flexibility and strong support.

We believe that excellent lawyering begins with excellent people. Our attorneys are supported by cutting-edge technology and a culture built on integrity, flexibility, and results.

What Sets Us Apart

True Flexibility Work from anywhere, anytime. We provide the support so you can succeed on your terms.

Three Simple Rules

1. Don’t commit malpractice.
2. Take care of the clients.
3. If you do billable work, bill the time.

Virtually everything else is up to you.

Unlimited Potential Our variable compensation model means your earnings grow with your effort, skill, client development, and results. Within reason, you control how much—or how little—you want to make.

High Standards, High Support We recruit and retain lawyers of character, professionalism, and drive. Our culture is built for attorneys who want to excel in both their craft and their service.

Who Thrives Here—and Who Won’t

We are intentional about bringing in lawyers who show excellence, maturity, and pride in their work.

You will be an excellent fit if you:

• Take ownership of your cases and your clients
• Are proactive, intelligent, and solution-oriented
• Value professionalism, integrity, and clear communication
• Have a strong record of reliability, stability, and client satisfaction
• Care about people in crisis and want to genuinely help them
• Have high personal standards and take your legal career seriously

This is not the right fit if you:

• Are looking for a place to coast, avoid responsibility, or hide from work
• Have a history of chronic job-hopping or employment instability
• Have a professional record or online reviews that consistently reflect poor service, low effort, or ethical concerns
• Are not comfortable handling sophisticated or emotionally challenging family law matters
• Struggle with deadlines, follow-through, or basic professional expectations

• Develop, attract, and retain high-quality clients; an existing book of business is strongly preferred
• Work closely with experienced paralegals and support staff
• Set your own work style and schedule within our results-focused model

Qualifications

• Significant Texas family law experience, including divorce, custody, property division, and support matters
• Proven ability to handle depositions, hearings, mediations, and trials
• Strong client-development and relationship-building abilities

• Demonstrated history of reliability, consistency, and high-quality work
