Who We Are Seeking:

LADL seeks California attorneys who are committed to the fight for social justice, intellectually excited to defend the constitutionally protected relationship between parents and their children, and sufficiently resilient to engage in daily battle against the generational effects of poverty, racism, addiction, domestic violence, and mental health conditions. We represent parents who have been negatively impacted by child welfare systems, which have often taken their children and placed them with strangers. LADL attorneys have frequent client contact and litigate contested matters daily, protecting and reunifying L.A. County's most vulnerable families. LADL offers competitive salary and benefits based on experience.

  • Attorneys are to establish and maintain an attorney-client relationship with their client.
  • Attorneys are to conduct thorough, continuing, and independent investigations and interviews at every stage of the proceedings on behalf of their client. Attorneys shall utilize the services of law firm social workers, investigators, paralegals and parent partners as necessary. Attorneys are to file pleadings, motions, responses, or objections as necessary on behalf of their client.

LADL attorneys go through a multi-tiered training period to prepare them for the stimulating and electric atmosphere of the 25 courtrooms in Monterey Park.

Work Hybrid

  • Many factors influence the location of an attorney’s practice, especially the client’s needs, as we work to reunify their family. Attorneys must be able to physically appear in court, in person, when required, as well as appear in the office when training or when needed.

How to Apply:

A cover letter and resume are required. Both must be in PDF or Microsoft Word format. If your resume contains little by way of non-profit, public interest, or social justice experience, please explain in your cover letter your interest in, and qualifications for, employment in the specific area of Parents’ Representation in Dependency Court.
