(and taste) the rainbow on the other side. Can you visualize what
that feels like? Looks like? Many of our clients cannot.-----We're
in the business of getting them there.
Our firm is a female-led, minority, woman-owned,
LGBTQIA+-----allied--law firm-----with clear values.--We are
candid. We want and help our staff to grow, personally and
professionally. That means there is accountability. That means
there are opportunities. That means there is communication. That

probably going to do well with us.
Why Work With Us?--
--- Be a part of a team that is passionate about helping our
clients get to the other side of a difficult time in life

this position:

--- You have a strong motivation for finding solutions to align the
law with complex family scenarios
--- Your approach to work is systematic and patient, characterized
by introspection and the development of new ideas
--- Sufficient opportunity to express and act on these new ideas is
very important

discussing matters in your area of expertise, and you may be quiet
and reserved with those outside your inner work circle

interface with others on a project basis
--- The job requires a deliberate, unhurried pace, providing plenty
of time for serious introspection to be sure you get it right. Most

a social butterfly
