Senior Family Law Attorney / Family Law Associate Attorney Divorce Matters® DTC / Greenwood Village, Fort Collins, or Colorado Springs Full-Time |
Hybrid Flexibility After Onboarding Compensation:
$120,000-$175,000+ base salary, depending on experience, plus bonus opportunity Divorce Matters® is selectively adding to its Colorado family law team. We are looking for a capable, client-focused family law attorney who wants meaningful litigation work, strong support, professional growth, and a long-term home in a family-law-only firm. This is a strong opportunity for an attorney who wants direct client contact, courtroom experience, meaningful responsibility, and the support of an established Colorado family law practice. The right candidate will be trusted to manage cases, communicate confidently with clients, appear in court, develop strategy, and help move matters forward with professionalism and good judgment. 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 high-quality work, responsiveness, and accountability, but we also believe attorneys should not be left on an island. About Divorce Matters® Divorce Matters is a Colorado-based family law firm with offices in DTC/Greenwood Village, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs. For more than 12 years, we have represented clients in divorce, allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time, child support, maintenance, property division, post-decree disputes, and other domestic relations matters.
