Company: DM Cantor Family Law Practice, PLLC
Location: Phoenix
Posted on: March 17, 2026

Job Description:

Description: Great family law attorneys deserve more than endless Zoom meetings and no meaningful support. Every family law firm says they “care about families,” but if you’ve ever been stuck cleaning up chaotic disclosures, redrafting sloppy motions, and explaining to the ‘senior attorney’ what Drahos calculations are (again), you know that not every family law firm cares about their attorneys. At DM Cantor’s Family Law Practice, we understand that you didn’t go to law school, rack up debt, and spend countless hours honing your trial skills to push paper at a firm where no one is actually in the office and you’re lucky if someone knows your name. You deserve high-stakes cases, a proactive and experienced support team, mentorship beyond “fingers crossed,” and a career trajectory that doesn’t end in someone else’s shadow. We don’t hire warm bodies; we only hire the attorneys who are “A players,” and who actually practice law with legal acumen and grit. DM Cantor Family Law Practice is Arizona’s leading trial-focused family law firm. We handle complex cases that demand creativity, tenacity, and profound legal knowledge. Our attorneys collaborate daily, combining expertise and insight to deliver the best outcomes for our clients. We prioritize results over ego, mentorship over hierarchy, and excellence over shortcuts. Our cases challenge us, our team supports one another relentlessly, and our wins are celebrated loudly. At DM Cantor Family Law Practice, your work will matter every single day. We want to read about you and why you want to join our firm. To be considered for an interview, you MUST: 1. Submit an up-to-date resume 2. Submit a cover letter. 3. Plus, once you initially apply, you will receive an email to complete a career history form, and a Prescreen Snapshot to fully fill out and submit. At DM Cantor , we offer: • Competitive Compensation and Benefits: Minimum base salary of $200,000 per year, or more, depending on experience. Plus, objective quarterly and annual billable hours bonuses totaling $40,000 to $90,000 or more annually. Our associate attorneys bonuses averaged $55,000 in the 2025 compensation year. There is also a “personal referrals bonus” in addition to the standard billable hour bonus! Benefits include: • Time off: 30 paid days off annually. 10 holidays, 15 vacation days, and 5 personal/sick days. • Loyalty vacation program: Earn one additional day off each year (for 5 years), then an additional five days at year 10, another 5 days at year 15, and so on. • Medical Insurance: DM Cantor covers 50% of the individual insurance in your first year and 100% after and covers 100% of your family’s insurance at year 5. • Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance: Employees enjoy dental, vision, and life Insurance paid fully by DM Cantor. • 401(k): DM Cantor generously matches up to 3.5% of employees’ compensation based on their 401(k) contributions. • Breakfast is catered for the firm every Monday, Family-style lunches are catered bi-weekly, and quarterly happy hours, firm outings, and other gatherings occur throughout the year. Families and children’s attendance are always encouraged at DM Cantor. We care about our attorneys and their families. In recent years, our staff has enjoyed various in-suite Suns basketball games, Cardinals tickets, dinners at exclusive members’ clubs, Michelin-Star outings, and banquets at The Biltmore. We understand that hard work deserves great rewards. • Hybrid Environment: Attorneys work full-time, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Following an introductory period, attorneys have the option to work one day remotely each week. Many choose to, while others prefer the panoramic views of the Phoenix skyline from our penthouse suite and multiple floors in the prestigious Two Renaissance Tower Downtown, where employees enjoy endless snacks, drinks, employee lounges, and excellent restaurants in the building and within walking distance. • 40-and-out: In addition to one remote-working day, attorneys can “call out” (and be available by phone) each Friday if they have already met a billable hour requirement of 40 hours per week. For example, if you bill 40 hours by Friday at 10 a.m., you can head home for the day, or if you bill 40 hours by Thursday night, you don’t have to come into the office at all on Friday! • Mentorship and CLEs: DM Cantor invests in conferences, mentorship, and strategy sessions to make you a better attorney, not a busier one. Our firm has an internal mentorship program to ensure progress and partnership flourish daily. Our attorneys meet monthly to strategize and discuss cases and recent developments in the law. DM Cantor also pays for attorneys' continued learning (CLE) requirements. Our goal is to have every one of our attorneys become Board-Certified Family Law Specialists, per the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization! Firm-sponsored conferences and year-round learning opportunities provide additional growth, mentorship, and collaboration. In recent years, our attorneys have attended multi-day conferences presented by the revered American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers in Las Vegas, Nashville, and Dallas, as well as various local conferences in Arizona. In 2026, we will be attending the A.B.A. Family Law Spring CLE Conference in Washington D.C.! • A Team Worth Joining: DM Cantor was ranked 4 in Ranking Arizona’s Top Law Firm in Arizona (25 Lawyers or less) for all of Arizona! We are an AV-rated Family Law firm listed in Martindale-Hubbell’s Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. With a Family Law team of 10 attorneys, 5 Board-Certified Family Law Specialists (with 1 more testing in this spring), and over 150 years of combined experience, we are Arizona’s preferred choice for family law representation. You’ll learn and collaborate with the best; no more waiting for the partner who rolls into the office at noon and hasn’t opened a rule book since ’98. • Full Support Staff: We understand that drafting your own Rule 49 Disclosures is a punishment, not a career move. Paralegals, administrative staff, and support systems are already primed at DM Cantor, so you can focus on lawyering, not chasing paperwork. Tired of sharing your paralegal with other attorneys? At DM Cantor, you will have a paralegal assigned solely to you and your cases, so you can work as a team and have the immediate support and flexibility that family law cases require. Have a paralegal you prefer follow you to DM Cantor? Let us know and invite them to apply- we are always looking for new, deserving talent. What We’re Looking For: • Minimum 2 years of Arizona family law experience • Ability to manage 20-25 active cases, including dissolution, custody, and third-party rights • Experience with high-net-worth clients and business valuations is a plus • Strong litigation, client management, and communication skills • Passion for helping families navigate complex legal matters • Driven, detail-oriented, with a settlement-focused, but trial-ready mindset What to Expect: We don’t just hire; we Topgrade. We use the Topgrading approach to ensure we hire only top performers. Step by step, we define what success looks like in the role, review your full career history and achievements, evaluate your skills and fit with our culture, check references with past colleagues, and make sure this role is the perfect match for your talents — all so you’re joining a team of other high achievers. Creative intelligence and a strong work ethic are required. Only “A players” and those with a winning mindset need apply. If you’re tired of firms where “culture” means rarely being in the office to collaborate with colleagues, and you’re ready to do meaningful work with people who take the law and life seriously, then it’s time for us to meet. Your future starts here. Learn more at www.DMCantor.com and apply today! Requirements: PI5c1eb02ce272-25448-39958556
