Job description:

Scaringi Law is a full-service law firm headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. From our Harrisburg office, we serve clients throughout the Commonwealth in a wide range of legal matters, providing practical, client-focused representation and counsel. Our attorneys are committed to delivering exceptional legal services while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and client service.

We are seeking an experienced Associate Attorney to join our Family Law practice group.

Position Requirements

• Active membership in good standing with the Pennsylvania Bar.
• Prior experience handling family law matters, including divorce, custody, support, protection from abuse (PFA) proceedings, equitable distribution, adoption, guardianship, and related litigation.
• Strong legal research, writing, negotiation, and client communication skills.
• Courtroom experience and the ability to independently manage hearings, conferences, and trials.
• Ability to handle a high-volume caseload while providing exceptional client service.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment and immediately assume responsibility for an active caseload.

Compensation

This position offers commission-based compensation with significant earning potential.

Compensation includes:

• 35% to 50% of collections on matters handled by the attorney.
• An additional 7% of collections on matters originated by the attorney.
• 15%, 20%, or 25% (based upon length of employment) of collections generated by other attorneys on matters originated by the attorney.

The commission-based compensation structure requires a minimum of 600 billable hours annually.

Signing Bonus

Qualified candidates may be eligible for a signing bonus. Please refer to the Employment Application for complete terms and conditions.

Established Caseload and Referral Opportunities

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to step into an established and active Family Law practice with a steady stream of firm-generated referrals.

• This is a full-time, in-office position.
