Trustpoint.One is partnering with a well-established family law practice in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, in the search for a Temporary Family Law Attorney. This flexible opportunity is ideal for an experienced family law practitioner seeking supplemental work, including solo practitioners looking to add billable hours without the administrative burden of developing new business.

The firm is experiencing significant demand and is currently turning away new matters due to capacity constraints. They are seeking an attorney who can step in and provide immediate support handling active family law matters while delivering exceptional client service.

• Handle written discovery and discovery responses
• Conduct client meetings and maintain regular client communication
• Provide strategic guidance on family law matters
• Collaborate with the firm's attorneys on case strategy and workload management
• Assist with court preparation and related case management activities

What We're Looking For:

• Active New Jersey bar admission in good standing
• Prior family law experience required
• Strong drafting, discovery, and client management skills
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• Excellent communication and organizational skills
• Comfortable managing matters in a remote or hybrid environment
• Solo practitioners and attorneys with existing practices are encouraged to apply

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Flexible schedule of approximately 8–10 hours per week
• Remote or hybrid work arrangement available
• Opportunity to work with an established and respected family law practice
• Immediate, substantive legal work available
• Firm has more demand than current capacity and is actively turning away business
• Potential pathway for an attorney interested in a future leadership, ownership, or succession opportunity as key members of the practice prepare for retirement
