Family Law Attorney

Join a Collaborative, Client-Focused Firm Committed to Excellence and Professional Growth

About Beresford Booth and Our Family Law Practice

Beresford Booth is a full-service law firm based in Edmonds and Bothell, serving clients throughout the Pacific Northwest. For more than 75 years, we have provided trusted legal counsel with a commitment to excellence, collaboration, and community.  

Our Family Law Group represents clients in all areas of family law, including divorce, parenting and custody matters, property division, and complex financial and business-related issues.  We pride ourselves on delivering practical, creative, and compassionate advocacy. 

We are seeking an Associate Attorney with 3+ years of family law experience to join our growing team.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

At Beresford Booth, we use sound, independent judgement to help our clients address their most important legal needs and solve their most complex challenges.  We believe that diverse perspectives strengthen our practice and enrich the service we provide to clients.  We are proud to support women in the legal profession and to foster an environment where attorneys can thrive — both professionally and personally.

Our attorneys are empowered with client-facing roles, entrusted with meaningful responsibility, and supported in shaping and advancing their careers at every stage. At the same time, we cultivate a family-first culture—one where personal lives are respected, and families grow alongside the firm.

This position offers the opportunity to work alongside a team of accomplished family law practitioners –including WWL President Amanda Gamble and 2023 WWL Snohomish County Chapter’s Member of the Year Kelsey Affronte—who value mentorship, collaboration, and integrity.  Our family law attorneys and staff bring more than 115 years of shared legal experience to the table— we’ve got your back. Our team members consistently support each other by strategizing and developing creative solutions to benefit our clients.
