Family Attorney

Baron Family Law is expanding and seeking a Senior Family Law Attorney who can step into complex, high-stakes matters with confidence, high-net-worth asset division, custody disputes, and high-profile/celebrity-adjacent cases where discretion, strategy, and courtroom strength matter.

This role is ideal for an attorney who wants more than “case handling.” We are looking for a leader who sets the tone in litigation, delivers an exceptional client experience, and helps elevate the team through strong execution and mentorship.

About Baron Family Law

Baron Family Law is an award-winning California family law firm known for high-touch service and exceptional advocacy. We serve clients statewide through a fully remote team, with Sacramento and Beverly Hills presence. Clients expect a sophisticated approach—clear strategy, strong writing, polished communication, and a steady hand in emotionally charged, financially complex matters.

What You’ll Own

• Lead strategy and execution on high-conflict, high-asset family law matters (custody, support, dissolution, complex property)
• Handle litigation start-to-finish: pleadings, declarations, discovery, settlement conferences, evidentiary hearings, and trial preparation
• Draft persuasive declarations and motion practice that reflect strong judgment and factual clarity
• Coordinate with experts when needed (forensic accountants, appraisers, custody professionals, etc.)
• Negotiate from a position of strength while keeping outcomes and client goals front and center
• Maintain an elevated, concierge-level client experience: proactive updates, clear expectations, and confidence under pressure
• Collaborate with the team and contribute to improving systems, templates, and workflows

Leadership Track (What Makes This Role Different)

We’re specifically looking for someone who can grow into leadership. That means:

• Excellent judgment and composure in high-stakes situations
• The ability to run point on files without hand-holding
• Strong written advocacy and courtroom readiness
• Mentorship mindset (helping junior attorneys and staff improve through guidance and standards)
• Professional polish with affluent, discerning clients and high-profile sensitivities

$110,000 - $220,000 yearly

• Represent clients in court proceedings as needed
• Prepare legal documents such as legal pleadings, motions, marital settlement agreements, contracts, judgments, and orders for a high volume of cases
• Manage the division of marital assets, including real estate, during divorce proceedings when needed
• Help solve legal problems for clients through analyzing the situation, understanding their needs, and creating a strategic plan of action

• High-net-worth divorce experience (business interests, real property portfolios, trusts/complex financials)
• Experience working with public figures / privacy-sensitive clients
• Trial experience or meaningful evidentiary hearing track record
• Ability to support firm growth through process improvement and team development

• At least 1-2 years of working in a law firm on family law issues as well as real estate (determining marital property) is necessary
• Strong knowledge base of representing plaintiffs and defendants
• Great negotiation and communication skills, particularly in stressful and emotional situations
• Active membership with the ABA (American Bar Association)
• 4-year degree with a legal background and J.D. degree are necessary for this position

• Active California Bar license in good standing
• 5+ years California family law experience (high-asset + contested custody required)
• Demonstrated litigation experience (contested hearings, strong motion practice; trial experience preferred)
• Strong legal writing skills (declarations and persuasive narrative building are essential)
• High emotional intelligence, strong boundaries, and professionalism under pressure
• Organized and accountable in a remote environment
