Family Law Associate Attorney
DTC / Greenwood Village, Fort Collins, or Colorado Springs
Full-Time | Hybrid Flexibility After On-boarding
Compensation: $100,000–$150,000 base salary, plus bonus opportunity
Are you an attorney who wants to build a strong career in family law with real mentorship, meaningful client work, courtroom experience, and the support of an established team?
Divorce Matters® is growing, and we are looking for a Family Law Associate Attorney to join our Colorado family law practice. This is a strong opportunity for an attorney who has litigation or family law experience and wants to continue developing as a confident, effective family law attorney.
Family law is demanding. We know that. That is why we invest in systems, mentorship, paralegal support, administrative support, and regular case-strategy collaboration. We expect strong work, professionalism, and follow-through, but we also believe attorneys should not be left on an island while they are learning and growing.
