What are the responsibilities and job description for the Family Law Attorney position at Pacific Northwest Family Law?
At some point, the next step in a litigation career should mean more than a larger caseload.
You have already proven you can handle difficult clients, contested hearings, ugly facts, and arguments with your name attached to them. But at many firms, becoming more experienced simply means getting more files, more pressure, and more problems to solve on your own.
We think experience should lead somewhere better.
Pacific Northwest Family Law is looking for an experienced litigator to join our Yakima office. We want someone ready for harder matters, more strategic responsibility, and a larger role in the profession and the community.
Our Yakima office is small enough that you can become a visible part of it and take real ownership of difficult cases. At the same time, you will practice as part of a larger firm with more than a dozen attorneys and support from lawyers with decades of experience and backgrounds in federal service, military practice, complex litigation, appellate work, and long careers in family law.
You will not be handed more work and left alone with it. You will have experienced lawyers around you to challenge your thinking, help with unfamiliar problems, and support your growth into greater responsibility, leadership, and partnership opportunities.
Family law experience is valuable, but it is not required. We are interested in prosecutors, defense attorneys, civil litigators, and other lawyers who already know how to prepare for court, manage difficult facts, exercise judgment under pressure, and advocate for clients.
We are generally looking for 3–6 years of legal practice, meaningful litigation and courtroom experience, and Washington bar membership or a path to Washington licensure.
The position includes:
- $100,000–$135,000 base salary
- Additional compensation for production above the firm's 1,500-hour requirement
- 10% rainmaker bonus on collected revenue from originated clients
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- HSA
- 401(k) with employer matching
- WSBA dues
- Unlimited CLE through NBI
- Up to $5,000 in relocation reimbursement for the Yakima position
- Retention bonus after six months
