Hecht Family LawRemote

Posted 20 hours ago

Love family law—but tired of the commute, office politics, and cookie-cutter firm culture? This may be exactly what you've been looking for.

Join a fast-growing, highly respected family law firm where talented attorneys are trusted, supported, and given the opportunity to do meaningful work without being chained to an office.

This is a 100% remote attorney position serving clients throughout Middle and South Georgia — including Macon, Warner Robins, and Columbus in Middle Georgia, and Valdosta, Albany, and Thomasville in South Georgia — giving you the freedom to work from home while handling challenging, high-impact family law cases. You'll travel throughout the region as needed for court appearances, mediations, depositions, and other case-related proceedings—but your day-to-day practice is remote.

We're looking for an experienced family law attorney who wants more than just another job: strong cases, real responsibility, professional growth, excellent support, competitive compensation, and a team that genuinely wants you to succeed.

  • Independently manage a full caseload of family law matters, including divorce, custody, child support, modifications, contempt matters, and related domestic-relations cases throughout Middle and South Georgia

  • Develop thoughtful, strategic case plans based on the facts, the law, and each client's objectives

  • Conduct thorough legal research and analysis when difficult or novel issues arise

  • Draft clear, persuasive motions, pleadings, briefs, discovery, and other litigation documents

  • Represent clients confidently in hearings, depositions, mediations, motions practice, and trials

  • Travel to courts throughout Middle Georgia (Macon, Warner Robins, Columbus) and South Georgia (Valdosta, Albany, Thomasville) as necessary for in-person appearances

  • Negotiate intelligently and aggressively when appropriate, while recognizing when settlement serves the client better than continued litigation

  • Collaborate with attorneys, paralegals, and firm leadership on complex cases and litigation strategy

  • Communicate proactively with clients so they understand both the legal details and the bigger strategic picture

  • Maintain organized, accurate case files, deadlines, documentation, and billing records throughout every matter

  • Active license to practice law in Georgia

  • 5+ years of family law litigation experience

  • Meaningful experience handling contested family law matters

  • Courtroom experience and the confidence to advocate independently

  • Must be based in Middle Georgia and have the willingness and ability to travel throughout Middle Georgia (Macon, Warner Robins, Columbus) and South Georgia (Valdosta, Albany, Thomasville) for hearings, mediations, depositions, trials, and other proceedings

  • A professional and reliable home-office setup suitable for remote client meetings, hearings, and case-management work
