What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Attorney position at Harper & McCoy A.P.C.?
We’re Hiring: Family Law Associate Attorney
Harper & McCoy, A.P.C. – Riverside, CA
Do You Want Real Courtroom Experience—Not Just Paperwork?
Harper & McCoy is growing, and we’re looking for a Family Law Associate Attorney who’s ready to step in, take ownership, and make a real impact.
This is not a sit-back-and-observe role.
This is for someone who wants to handle cases, appear in court, and advocate for clients from day one.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Handling family law cases from start to finish
- Appearing in court on RFOs, hearings, and conferences
- Drafting motions, pleadings, and discovery
- Advising clients through custody, support, and property issues
- Negotiating settlements and litigating when needed
- Managing your own caseload
The Work Matters
You’ll be representing first responders and their families—clients dealing with real-life, high-stakes situations.
This isn’t volume for the sake of volume.
This is strategic, meaningful family law work where your advocacy matters.
Who We’re Looking For
- Licensed California attorney (or newly admitted)
- Strong writing and analytical skills
- Comfortable in court or eager to get there quickly
- Organized, responsive, and able to manage deadlines
- A self-starter who takes ownership of their cases
Preference If You Have
- Family law experience
- Litigation experience
- Confidence handling hearings independently
Why This Role Stands Out
- Real courtroom experience early and often
- Direct client interaction
- Opportunity to grow quickly as a family law attorney
- Supportive, team-oriented environment
- A firm that values initiative, accountability, and results
Location
Riverside, CA (with occasional appearances in surrounding counties)
If You’re Looking For
- More courtroom time
- More responsibility
- Real growth in family law
This is your opportunity!
