Overview

Litigation Associate Attorney Jobs in Houston, TX at The Shariff Law Firm, PLLC.

Join a Firm Where Family Law Meets Purpose, Performance, and People-First Culture

At the Law Office of Chris Schmiedeke, PC, we believe in doing work that matters—together.

We operate on a hybrid schedule: Mondays and Fridays are remote, giving you flexibility to recharge and plan, while Tuesdays through Thursdays we lock arms in the office, collaborating face-to-face to move our clients—and their lives—forward.

Every attorney here is backed by dedicated legal assistants and paralegals, so you can focus on being the lawyer you worked so hard to become. We cap caseloads intentionally (average of 30 active matters per attorney) to prioritize quality over quantity and to ensure meaningful impact in each case.

We’re a growth-minded, litigation-ready team that prepares every case like it’s going to trial—even though most of them settle. That’s how we deliver outcomes that matter without losing the human touch.

Rooted in Dallas, we live by our mantra: Divorce Simplified. Our goal is simple—no client ever walks alone.

Thrives in a collaborative, systems-driven environment

Appear for Zoom and in-person hearings, mediations, and trials
