WashingtonOregon Family Law Attorney Hybrid
Vancouver Family Law, Vancouver, Washington, United States, 98662
Job Description
Are you a family law attorney who thrives in court, values teamwork, and wants to focus on clients instead of finding them? Sherwood and Vancouver Family Law are growing and looking for a full-time attorney to join our close-knit team.
Why Join Us?
Immediate full caseload – no need to find your own clients
1:1 paralegal support
Competitive pay with total comp potential of $150K–$250K
True work-life balance with reasonable hours
100% employer-paid health, dental, vision, PLF, Bar & CLEs
401(k) with generous match
Hybrid/remote options + dedicated office
Collaborative, no-drama culture that values empathy, preparation, and professionalism
What You’ll Do:
Represent clients in Oregon or Washington divorce and custody matters
Develop clear legal strategies and guide clients step-by-step
Appear in court for hearings, negotiations, and trials
Collaborate with a supportive team that values growth and mentorship
Spend all of your time helping actual clients, no lost hours focused on business development or consultations.
What We’re Looking For:
Family law and courtroom experience (2+ Years)
Active Oregon or Washington Bar license
Strong knowledge of Oregon or Washington family law statutes, rules, and case law
Confident in court, highly organized, and committed to client success
Empathetic, professional, and a true team player
Opportunity to also practice in Oregon and Washington if desired
Compensation: The role is intentionally structured around a light annual billable expectation of 1,200 hours, with the option to take on additional work beyond that threshold. This structure is by design. We do not require non-billable business development or consult work.
Base salary varies by experience and typically falls in the low-to-mid $100Ks (DOE), with additional compensation earned through performance-based bonuses tied directly to billable work above the required threshold. Experienced attorneys who elect to carry higher caseloads can earn total compensation exceeding $250,000, while maintaining control over workload.
We provide full benefits and a stable caseload so you can focus on practicing law and producing consistently.
Our Core Values:
Understanding and Empathy.
We believe that the only way to help our clients is to walk a mile in their shoes. We deeply understand that a custody or divorce is the hardest thing our clients have ever had to experience.
Always Being Prepared.
We don’t kick the can down the road and we prepare from the beginning with a solid plan. We live and die by our calendars.
Playing By The Rules.
We don't take short cuts and we believe the rules matter. Yes, it drives us a little bit crazy when an opposing party files their hearing memorandum the morning of trial.
No Sharp Elbows.
We are a tight knit team and value compassion and hard work. We've all had an experience of working at a firm where yelling and abrasiveness was just another day in the office -- it isn't for us.
Finding The Answers.
We try our hardest to find the answers first. We love to learn and all strive to become the best. We also know that Google generally has the answer, and start there first.
At Sherwood and Vancouver Family Law, we believe in guiding clients through their hardest times with compassion and clarity. If you’re ready to join a firm that cares deeply about both clients and team members, we’d love from you.
Apply today and help make a difference in people’s lives.
Company Description We are divorce lawyers and custody attorneys who create divorce and custody plans that give our clients security and peace of mind for their future.
