Associate Attorney

At Z Family Law, we’re not just another family law firm — we’re a team of driven professionals rewriting what it means to practice law with purpose, precision, and heart. We help clients turn endings into new beginnings, and we’re looking for a Senior Family Law Attorney who shares our passion for doing meaningful work, delivering exceptional client experiences, and taking pride in every detail of their craft.

If you take pride in your reputation, thrive in high‑performance environments, and are motivated by seeing your efforts directly reflected in your paycheck, you’ll fit right in here. You’re not chasing rainbows — you’re chasing results. You deliver phenomenal client service because your name, integrity, and reputation matter deeply to you. You feel most at home in a firm where accountability isn’t optional — because being surrounded by people who work hard and care as much as you do brings out your best.

You don’t want to worry about client acquisition — you want to focus on what you do best: representing clients with excellence, building their trust, and producing results that speak for themselves. Our firm is growing fast, and our processes and technology are growing right alongside us. We’re building something exceptional — and we’re looking for attorneys who want to grow with us.
