Who This Is For

You’re not new to litigation.

You’ve been in the trenches. You’ve taken hits. You’ve learned how to think, not just react.

You probably have a bit of a chip on your shoulder.

Maybe you see yourself as a defender.

Maybe you just love the game.

Maybe you hate losing more than you enjoy winning.

Either way—you care.

Not in a soft, surface-level way.

In a way that makes you stay up too late thinking about strategy.

In a way that makes you replay arguments in your head.

In a way that makes you need to get it right.

Yes, this is S. Florida, and it seems like everyone here has litigation experience – but let’s be honest, not everyone is really a Litigator.  This is for the attorney who isn’t totally jaded yet, still actually enjoys what they do, and leans in when cases are messy, cause particularly in Estate Litigation – it is all messy! 

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing your own litigation caseload from start to finish
• Strategizing (a lot), not just executing
• Arguing like it matters (because it does)
• Standing up to opposing counsel without hesitation
• And yes—sometimes standing up to our own clients (because they can become emotional and irrational).

We don’t tolerate bad behavior—from anyone.

Respect is earned here, and we protect it.

Our Culture (Read This Twice)

• Our litigation team doesn’t just “work cases.”
• We debate strategy for fun.
• We argue case law like it’s a sport.
• We push each other.
• There’s no hiding here.
• No coasting/No passengers.

You will be surrounded by people who are sharp, intense, and deeply committed to getting better.

If that excites you—you’ll thrive.

If that intimidates you—you won’t.

The Reality About Litigation No One Says Out Loud

The Practice of Law is HARD. Litigation is even harder. There will be days when:

• You’re running on only coffee and adrenaline
• You’re exhausted
• You’re behind on sleep
• Your personal life takes a back seat
• The case is all that matters cause a hearing is coming up

And no—this doesn’t mean you’ll love it.

Some days, you’ll still hate it.

So Why Do You Do It?

You’re not doing it just for the money. Sure, the money is good, and that is how we keep score.

But if you are in Litigation just for the money, you will burn out here. Fast.

You do it because:

• You believe in what you’re fighting for
• You care about your clients and their lives
• You take pride in doing hard things well
• You know that someone has to step into the arena

 

What We Expect

• 3–7 years of litigation experience (estate/probate preferred, but not required)
• Ability to manage cases mostly independently
• Strong research and writing skills
• Strong courtroom presence
• Strategic thinker, not just a task-completer
• Thick skin + high standards
• Zero tolerance for mediocrity (your own or anyone else’s)

What You Get

• Diverse, interesting, high-level cases that actually matter
• A team that will challenge and sharpen you
• Real responsibility (not busy work)
• A place where your work speaks—and is respected

And yes—strong compensation for people who perform.

Final Thought

This is not a “plug-and-play” role.

It’s a place for people who feel something when they step into a fight.

Who takes it personally.

Who doesn’t back down.

If that’s you—you already know.

Send us your resume.
