What are the responsibilities and job description for the Family Law Attorney position at Oosterhof Law Office, PLLC?
Hi! We're Oosterhof Law Office, PLLC!
We are a female-led, boutique law firm guiding our immigrant community through complex Immigration Law and Family Law matters within DFW and beyond. Our clients have compelling needs and we take pride in helping parents navigate both our Texas family courts and our immigration system to meet their child's needs here in the United States. We are just shy of our 10 year anniversary and look forward to growing our business with the right people. We love donuts, tacos, gifs, dogs, pickleball, and hope you do too!
Are you the clever, detail oriented, honest, and friendly associate attorney of our dreams?
This position is unique in that the majority of the caseload is an intersection of immigration and family law. You will not be required to handle the immigration side of the cases BUT you will need a working knowledge of the processes, in order to provide clients an understanding of where we are in their case. Many of our cases are uncontested and consist largely of SAPCR and divorces with children. We work primarily in Dallas and Tarrant Counties but have clients in Denton, Rockwall, Kaufman, Collin, and outlying counties as well. Spanish-speakers are preferred though not necessary as interpretation services are readily available.
