Family Law Associate Attorney (3–5 Years Experience)
Location: Morristown, NJ (In-Office with Some Flexibility)
About Leslie Law Firm
At Leslie Law Firm, family law isn’t just legal work — it’s personal work.
We represent business owners, executives, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals through complex and often confidential family matters. Many of our clients return to us years later — and refer their families — because of the trust we build and the courtroom results we deliver.
We are a boutique, litigation-forward family law firm known for personalized client attention, strong courtroom advocacy, strategic representation, and professional discretion.
Who This Role Is For
This role is ideal for a 3–5 year attorney who:
- Has family law experience in New Jersey
- Has clerkship experience (strongly preferred)
- Is confident in court or eager to build courtroom skills
- Prefers real client interaction over hiding behind email
- Understands that family law requires both empathy and backbone
If you are looking for a remote, low-interaction drafting role — this is not it.
If you want to litigate, grow, and be mentored by experienced trial attorneys — we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Do
- Represent clients in divorce, custody, support, and post-judgment matters
- Appear in court regularly (motions, hearings, conferences)
- Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, and trial submissions
- Take and defend depositions
- Conduct client strategy meetings
- Communicate directly with opposing counsel (phone, not just email)
- Work closely with senior attorneys on complex litigation
Qualifications
- JD and admission to the New Jersey Bar
- 3–5 years of family law experience
- Clerkship experience preferred
- Strong writing skills
- Strong courtroom presence (or serious desire to develop one)
- Professional maturity and client discretion
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Performance-based bonus opportunities
- 401(k)
- Paid time off
- Professional development support
