Civil Law Attorney Opportunity in a Non-Profit Setting
Legal Services of North Florida, a non-profit law firm dedicated to providing access to justice for low-income and vulnerable individuals, is seeking a Civil Law Attorney to join our team. With seven offices across North Florida, we handle over 9,700 cases annually, offering a unique opportunity for an attorney to make a meaningful impact in the community.
As a Civil Law Attorney with our organization, you will work collaboratively with experienced attorneys to strategize and advocate on behalf of clients in areas such as family law, guardianship, disaster recovery, veterans' legal services, victims' advocacy, public benefits, and real property law. You will also have the opportunity to engage in significant litigation, including large-scale impact work and appellate cases.
To support our mission of removing barriers to legal access, our attorneys participate in community education and outreach initiatives, including utilizing two Justice on the Block mobile response units where individuals can speak with an attorney, apply for our services, or receive assistance filing pro se documents.

Ideal candidates will be members of The Florida Bar in good standing, with a strong preference given to those with public interest or legal aid experience. A proven ability to work independently and as part of a team, excellent organizational and communication skills, and a desire to advocate for marginalized populations are essential qualifications for this role.
Our comprehensive fringe benefits package includes:
? Offices open to the public Monday through Thursday
? Immediate paid time off includes holidays, sick leave, and personal leave
? Personal or vacation leave earnings equal 2.4 weeks per year, increasing to five weeks per year after two years
