Job Description

Are you a Systems Person Trapped in a Lawyer’s Body?

DO YOU LOVE helping clients move forward through the use of your legal strategic plan that is executed by you and your team?

Are you ready to make this your year to THRIVE personally and professionally?

If you answered yes to the above, you may be the Champion Family Law Attorney we are looking for!

We are a growing business with robust marketing plans, and we are looking for an organized person who likes to work hard and has fun creating more opportunities to help clients. We are looking to immediately hire and onboard the right Attorney to join our incredible team of A+ Team members. 

We are vested in finding the right fit for our Team. Please read this ad, and if it resonates with you, that is a good indication that you may be our perfect candidate. If you don’t love everything in this ad, please don’t waste our time or yours by applying. 

Are you just looking for a J.O.B.? Looking for a place where you can mindlessly shuffle paperwork and get a paycheck? If so, this isn’t the place for you. 

We believe each member of the team holds themselves and their teammates accountable, so that dependability is always there and each person respects what others on the team do. We also find that communication and camaraderie in a fast-paced business that has fun and celebrates growth and successes, makes it a place worth working. This is why Teamwork and Integrity are high on our core values. 

We believe it is important to create an atmosphere where each team member can be productive and where they can hone their skills, so they are always learning, growing, and improving. Clients are at the core of every successful law firm, and it is important to listen to what they want so we can meet their needs while giving them an incredible client experience that creates raving fans. That is why Employees and clients, and the Experience they have working with us, are integral to everything we do. 

We know there are always better ways, and we encourage our team to use creativity and their passion to help drive new ideas and streamlined procedures to always provide top-quality results. That is why Excellence and Innovation are part of our core values. 

So, while we are a fun, vibrant team, we also believe in Systems and Key Performance Indicators, so that we know we are always working in a streamlined fashion and driving results. 

If these last few paragraphs make you want to run for the hills, then don’t bother applying. We are vested in finding the best of the best who love what they do and want to be on this mission with us! We expect greatness and are willing to help you get there, but we will also be just as honest in our quarterly reviews if you are not reaching the expectations that have been set. We want our team to know if they are getting an A, or if they are falling short, and how they can get up to the A+ status. 

If you don’t thrive on honing your skills and learning new ways, then this likely is not the right job for you. From our Receptionist to our CEO, we want every person on the team to thrive and grow every month.
