    Description

    This is a remote position.

    Bernhardt Riley, Attorneys at Law is a boutique firm serving clients across New Mexico and Florida in criminal defense, debt defense, real estate litigation and business litigation. We blend personal care with efficient advocacy to protect our clients' legal interests and help our communities thrive. We're hiring a full-time Civil Litigation Trial Attorney (entry to mid-level) who can handle a fast-moving caseload and deliver quality results.  This is a fully remote role—we are only considering candidates who currently reside in Florida.

    Compensation

    $100,000–$110,000/year + bonuses

    ___________________________________________________________

    Why This Role Exists (and Why It's Different)

    Civil litigation is changing quickly: clients expect speed and clarity, courts demand precision, and technology is reshaping how quality attorneys prepare. We are seeking an experienced trial attorney who combines strong litigation skills with resourcefulness, intellectual curiosity, and sound judgment, and who is capable of advancing matters strategically and decisively. If you thrive on identifying the core issues quickly, improving how work gets done, and collaborating within a strong, supportive team—even in a fully remote environment—you will fit in well within our firm's culture.

    _________________________________________________________________________

    What You'll Handle

    You'll manage a caseload that may include:

    • Real estate litigation
    • Business litigation
    • Condominium / HOA disputes
    • Municipal ordinance violations
    • Landlord/tenant issues

    ____________________________________________________________

    Responsibilities

    Litigation (Pre-suit through Trial)

    • Lead matters from intake strategy through resolution (settlement, mediation/arbitration, or trial)
    • Develop case-specific legal strategies aligned to client goals, risk tolerance, and cost realities
    • Maintain proactive case timelines: you control deadlines and forward motion

    Motions & Discovery (Motions-Heavy Practice)

    • Draft and argue dispositive and non-dispositive motions; manage hearings
    • Drive discovery strategy: written discovery, meet-and-confers, motions to compel/protective orders, and evidentiary positioning
    • Take and defend depositions; prepare witnesses effectively

    Courtroom & Hearing Work

    • Appear in court (mostly remote, but may require some in court appearances) for contested/uncontested matters including motion hearings and trials
    • Prepare thoroughly: evidence, witnesses, exhibits, outlines, and trial themes

    Client Communication & Trust

    • Communicate clearly and consistently with clients—reduce confusion, build confidence, and set expectations
    • Deliver practical recommendations (not just legal analysis), with options and next steps

    Modern Practice & Continuous Improvement

    • Continuously improve templates, workflows, and internal processes so the entire team becomes more effective over time.
    • Utilize advanced legal technology and automation tools to increase efficiency, accuracy, and consistency across matters.

    __________________________________________________________________________________

    What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

    • You quickly learn our case types and expectations and begin handling files end-to-end
    • Motions and discovery are timely, organized, and strategically aligned
    • Clients feel informed and guided, not anxious or confused
    • You contribute ideas on workflow/template improvement that saves time or improves quality

    __________________________________________________________________________________



    Requirements

    Required Qualifications

    • Florida Bar license (active, in good standing)
    • Trial experience required (jury or bench trial involvement and comfort appearing in court)
    • Strong command of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure
    • Ability to manage disputes through settlement, mediation, arbitration, or trial
    • Professional judgment, responsiveness, and strong client-facing communication in a remote environment

    ___________________________________________________________________________________

    Preferred Qualifications

    • 2+ years handling general civil litigation (or closely related litigation experience)
    • Experience with real estate litigation, HOA/COA matters, landlord/tenant, or business disputes
    • Comfort operating in a fast-paced practice with measurable deadlines and outcomes

    ___________________________________________________________________________________

    The Kind of Lawyer We're Intentionally Hiring

    We're screening for:

    • Resourcefulness: you solve problems, find answers, and move cases forward
    • Curiosity: you ask the second question, spot leverage points, and learn fast
    • Fearlessness: you take initiative, own hard conversations, and aren't intimidated by complexity
    • High ownership: you treat deadlines, client trust, and results like they're personal
    ___________________________________________________________________________________

    Apply now to join a team of dedicated legal professionals who mix personal care with strong advocacy. We offer a collaborative remote environment, real growth opportunities, and a practice that rewards initiative.
