If you're an experienced Texas family law attorney who is passionate, driven, and ready to take charge, keep reading—this might just be the career move you've been waiting for!
At South TX Family Law Group, we don’t just practice law—we change lives. We fight for justice in divorce, child custody, and probate cases, giving clients the peace of mind they deserve. Our firm is woman-owned, faith-based, and has built a rock-solid reputation since 1987. Now, we’re growing fast, and we’re searching for an attorney who’s ready to own their caseload, command the courtroom, and be a leader in our mission.
Why You Belong Here:
- You love the courtroom and thrive on high-stakes litigation.
- You’re a team player who believes in collaboration and lifting others up.
- You never settle for good enough—you push yourself and your team to be the best.
- You want a long-term home where your career can grow, not just another job.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Leading family law cases from start to finish—no second chair here!
- Handling divorce, will contests, prenuptial agreements, mediation, paternity, child custody, alimony, and property division with precision.
- Advocating fiercely in cases involving child abuse, domestic violence, hidden assets, and complex custody disputes.
- Bringing strategic thinking and compassion to every case you touch.
What’s in It for You?
- Competitive base salary + generous quarterly bonuses—your hard work pays off!

- Paid malpractice insurance & life insurance policy.
- Company-matched retirement plan—we invest in your future.
- Paid holidays, PTO, and free parking—because work-life balance matters.
This is NOT an entry-level position. You must have a Texas bar license in good standing and experience in Texas family law. We need a battle-ready litigator who can hit the ground running! It is also not a remote position. We need you available to collaborate, share your energy, and discuss issues with team members in the office when you are not in court.
If you have a proven track record of success and are ready to step into a high-impact role, we want to hear from you.
