Job Description

This is a senior-level role for an attorney who already understands probate litigation and wants the autonomy to manage cases independently within a well-supported, organized practice. You’ll work directly with clients, lead litigation strategy, conduct depositions and hearings, and collaborate with experienced attorneys and support staff — without micromanagement or unnecessary bureaucracy.
Our probate litigation practice handles contested estate and trust matters involving fiduciary disputes, inheritance conflicts, undue influence claims, and high-conflict family dynamics.
This is a fully remote position for attorneys licensed and based in Florida.

- Collaborate with probate administration team when litigation matters overlap with active estate administration.
- Conduct legal research using Westlaw, LexisNexis, and other tools
- Work closely with support staff to maintain organized files, meet deadlines, and move cases forward
- Support efficient case resolution while maintaining high service standards
Requirements
Required:
- Active Florida Bar membership in good standing
- 5+ years of direct Florida probate litigation experience
- Significant experience handling contested probate matters, trust disputes, hearings, depositions, and motion practice
