Attorney

Job Description

THE GIG

Brava Family Law is growing, and we're looking for an attorney who's as sharp in a courtroom as they are steady with a client having the worst week of their life.

Clients are professionals in the middle of divorce — smart, high-stakes, often heartbroken. They don't need a shark. They need someone who will fight hard and help them close the book on the fairy-tale-that-wasn't, so they can design their sequel on their own terms. If you can do both, keep reading.

You'll work directly with our founder and the team — no bloated hierarchy, no partner-track politics. You'll carry real matters, argue your own motions, first-chair your own trials, and have a genuine hand in how this firm grows. We move fast, we use good tech, and we actually like each other.

COMPENSATION

$85,000 – $150,000 per year, plus discretionary performance-based bonuses. We reward WOW. IYKYK.

$85,000 - $150,000 yearly

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Argue motions and represent clients in family law proceedings from start to finish, from initial consult to final hearing
• Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery, and correspondence that don't need three rounds of edits
• Run case strategy — spot the issues, map the options, pick the path to resolution
• Manage mandatory disclosure and discovery cleanly and on deadline
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with paralegals and support staff to keep matters moving

WHAT YOU NEED (NON-NEGOTIABLES)

• Admitted to practice in Florida
• 3+ years of litigation experience in family law and/or criminal law
• Live within 30 miles of our downtown St. Petersburg office (this role is on-site )
• Strong legal research and writing — comfortable in Westlaw or Lexis
• Fluent with everyday tech: Microsoft Office, cloud tools, and a willingness to embrace responsible and ethical use of AI where it makes us better
• Clear communicator across every level, from client to court to teammate
• Comfortable asking questions, admitting mistakes, and owning a project from start to finish
• Critical thinker, strategic problem-solver, down for lively legal debate, and unafraid of hard conversations with clients, teammates, and your boss

Brava is a boutique family law firm with a mission: transform divorce from a process that destroys families & fortunes to a transformational experience that empowers clients to move forward with dignity and bank accounts intact.

Our office in the heart of St. Pete serves 7 counties in the Tampa Bay area, blending fierce legal advocacy with heart-led strategy.

Our vibe: Human-centered, growth-obsessed, slightly playful, tech-embracing, and values-first. We're building something extraordinary. Are you the right human to build it with us?
