Families come to Diamond Legal during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. They need an attorney who can provide clarity, confidence, and strong legal advocacy while helping them move forward.

Diamond Legal is seeking an experienced Family Law Attorney to join our growing team. This position focuses primarily on family law matters in Lake County, including divorce, allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time, child support, maintenance, and orders of protection.

We are not looking for someone who wants to practice alone. We are looking for an attorney who wants to be part of a collaborative, systems-driven firm with experienced support staff, established processes, and a strong reputation in the community.

At Diamond Legal, we believe attorneys should spend their time practicing law—not chasing invoices, managing marketing campaigns, or handling administrative tasks that can be delegated.

We handle the marketing.

We handle the intake process.

We handle billing and collections.

You focus on serving clients, advocating effectively, and helping families through challenging transitions.

After the first 90 days, attorneys who are meeting performance expectations may be eligible for a hybrid work schedule. We believe in accountability, flexibility, and rewarding results.

• Manage a family law caseload from initial consultation through resolution

• Maintain consistent communication with clients regarding case status and strategy
• Collaborate with legal assistants, support staff, and firm leadership to ensure matters progress efficiently
• Maintain accurate time records and file documentation
• Follow established firm procedures and case-management systems

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school
• Active Illinois law license in good standing
• Preferred: 3+ years of experience handling family law matters
• Experience managing hearings, motion practice, client communications, and case strategy
• Strong courtroom presence and advocacy skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication abilities
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities
• Commitment to professionalism, ethics, and client service
