Job Description WhitsonLaw is seeking an experienced Senior Family Law Attorney to assume meaningful ownership of complex client matters, provide leadership to developing attorneys and legal professionals, and help shape the continued growth of our practice.

Job Description Two Communities. One Commitment. Extraordinary Work.Some legal careers are defined by the clients you serve. This is one of them.The Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York (LASNNY) is seeking a Staff Attorney for a uniquely meaningful dual-program role: serving members and residents of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe through our KAS Project, and serving veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness through our VA Legal Services for Veterans - Homelessness (LSV-H) program. These are not simply two caseloads - they are two communities with deep histories, distinct needs, and an abiding right to justice. The attorney who fills this role will be trusted to show up for both, with skill, cultural humility, and genuine care.This position is based in our Canton office and includes regular in-person presence on the Akwesasne territory. If you are an attorney who believes that the law should work for everyone - that a tribal elder navigating a housing dispute and a veteran on the edge of homelessness both deserve a zealous, compassionate advocate - we want to hear from you.About the ProgramsKAS Project - Saint Regis Mohawk TribeFor the people of Akwesasne, legal problems rarely arrive in isolation. Housing insecurity, family disruption, loss of benefits - these challenges intersect in ways that can be difficult to untangle without skilled legal help. Since 2021, LASNNY has been honored to stand alongside the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe as a trusted civil legal services partner. The KAS Project - Kaianerenhsera Aorihwa:ke Shakotihshienons (law or legal matters which people help with) - reflects that partnership in its name and in its mission.Unlike many legal aid programs, the KAS Project operates without income or asset restrictions for eligible tribal members and Akwesasne residents.

This is legal aid as relationship - not just representation.VA Legal Services for Veterans - Homelessness (LSV-H)The men and women who served our country should never have to fight for a roof over their heads alone. Yet for too many veterans, civil legal problems - an unlawful eviction, a wrongful benefits denial, a family law matter spiraling out of control - become the barrier standing between them and stable housing. LASNNY's LSV-H program, funded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, exists to remove those barriers.As an LSV-H attorney, you will work alongside VA case managers, veteran service organizations, and community partners to deliver timely, effective legal help to veterans who are homeless or at serious risk of losing their housing.
