**Salary:** USD 85,000–90,000

**Workplace:** hybrid

**Department:** Moskovic & Associates

## Description

**Associate Attorney – Family Law**

_Arlington Heights, IL  |  Full-Time | Hybrid_

**Hybrid Flexibility | Real Courtroom Experience | Clear Path to Senior Role**

We’re a boutique family law firm that offers genuine schedule flexibility: work from home on your own terms, come in when there’s a reason, and keep your commute off the daily schedule. If you want real litigation experience without being tied to a desk five days a week, this is the role.

Moskovic & Associates is a boutique family law litigation firm based in Arlington Heights, IL, serving clients across Cook, Lake, Will, McHenry, Kane and DuPage counties. The firm is built on a reputation for excellent client communication and aggressive, knowledgeable advocacy.

This is a long-term platform role with a clear path to a senior position over time with the firm. The right candidate will have real autonomy, direct partner access, and a firm that is genuinely invested in their development.

### **About the Role**

You’ll carry a full family law litigation caseload from intake through trial, working alongside senior partners while owning your matters independently. The role includes regular Zoom and in-person court appearances across Cook and surrounding counties, drafting and managing discovery, and maintaining tight client communication. The schedule is genuinely flexible: you work from home by default and come into the Arlington Heights office when there’s a reason: client meetings, specific firm needs, or your own preference. There is no mandatory in-office day count. Zoom and in-person court appearances are built into the role, not treated as an inconvenience to the remote schedule.

Attorneys who originate new client matters earn 20% of all earned and paid fees for clients they bring in. Business development is encouraged but not required.

### **Key Responsibilities**

-   Draft pleadings, motions, discovery requests, and discovery responses
-   Draft Marital Settlement Agreements and Allocation Judgments
-   Appear in Zoom and in-person court on routine matters as well as contested and evidentiary hearings and trials
-   Prepare Pre-Trial Memos, Witness Disclosures, and Exhibits
-   Manage cases from intake through resolution with consistent client communication
-   Navigate county court portals and filing systems independently
-   Cover Zoom and in-person court appearances across Cook, Lake, Will, McHenry, Kane and DuPage counties with reliable transportation
-   Meet deadlines and billing requirements without close supervision

## Requirements

### **Experience and background:**

-   Minimum 2 years of experience in family law litigation
-   Demonstrated ability to draft pleadings, motions, discovery, MSAs, and Allocation Judgments
-   Prior courtroom experience in contested and evidentiary hearings and trials

### **Must-haves:**

-   Licensed to practice law in Illinois
-   Self-motivated with the ability to manage a caseload independently without extensive supervision
-   Committed to the role and the firm. We invest in people who invest in us
-   Excellent communicator, confident in presenting to the court and maintaining strong client relationships
-   Detail-oriented with high standards for deadlines, billing integrity, and professional conduct

## Benefits

### **Why This Role Stands Out**

-   True work-from-home flexibility: come into the office when there’s a reason, not on a fixed schedule
-   Real litigation experience from day one, no document review treadmill
-   20% of all earned and paid fees for clients you originate
-   Clear path to a senior role over time with the firm
-   Collaborative small-firm culture with direct access to senior partners from day one

### **Compensation and Benefits**

-   Salary: $85,000–$90,000, commensurate with experience
-   20% of all earned and paid fees for clients originated
-   Group health plan available; firm contributes to premium based on plan cost and salary
-   9 paid holidays: New Year’s Eve & Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving & Friday after, Christmas Eve & Day
-   9 days of PTO accrued in year 1

### **How to Apply**

Submit your resume and a brief cover letter describing your family law litigation experience. Please include your salary expectations. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

**Equal Opportunity Employer**

Moskovic & Associates is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
