At Whitson Law, PLLC, we’re seeking a dedicated Senior Associate to join our growing family‑law practice. In this role, you will guide clients through some of life’s most difficult transitions while using strong trial skills, sharp legal judgment, and excellent communication to achieve the best possible outcomes. As a senior member of our team, you will manage a varied caseload with autonomy and consistency, while also mentoring newer associates and helping strengthen the quality of our work across the firm.

As our Senior Associate, you will independently devise legal strategies, provide exceptional representation to clients, and lead with professionalism and accountability. You must be committed to excellence, hard work, and have proven experience in a top‑tier family‑law and litigation practice. You will own the firm’s legal production pipeline for assigned matters—from Legal Strategy Sessions through delivery of work product to the client—and you will oversee the legal team and support staff to ensure all work is completed efficiently, accurately, and on time.

Your compassion, expertise, and energy be essential as we continue empowering clients and upholding Whitson Law’s reputation for excellence. If you’re ready to make a meaningful impact in a supportive, client‑focused, forward‑thinking environment, we’d love to connect and explore this opportunity with you.

Whitson Law was founded by Debra

A. Whitson—an attorney, advocate, and visionary who has spent her career reimagining what family law can be for clients, children, and the professionals who serve them. Her purpose took shape at fourteen, after witnessing an injustice in her hometown that nearly cost someone she loved their life. From that moment forward, she committed to standing between families and systems that too often fail them—so no one feels powerless or unheard in their most vulnerable moments.

With more than 25 years of experience, including over a decade as a prosecutor and Chief Special Victims Prosecutor, Debra has led in the hardest cases where trauma and family breakdown collide. She has trained judges, law enforcement, and first responders in trauma‑informed practice—and earned a reputation for integrity, clarity, and resolve.

But she didn’t just practice law. She built a different model. Whitson Law is a boutique, high‑touch firm grounded in compassion, strategy, and resolution—pairing litigation excellence with mediation, collaborative law, and emotionally intelligent advocacy to protect what matters most: children, stability, and futures. Debra is also the founder of Mediated Online Solutions, extending her mission nationwide by making mediation and co‑parenting support accessible, modern, and human‑centered.

Whitson Law is not just a firm. It is a purpose‑driven practice. For the right Senior Associate, it’s not simply a career move—it’s an opportunity to practice law with meaning.
