Chiumento Law is a highly regarded, 10-attorney firm with over 50 years of trusted service to the Volusia and Flagler County communities—is seeking a seasoned Estate Planning & Probate Attorney to step into a leadership role and partnership track.

As a senior partner transitions toward retirement, this is a rare and prestigious opportunity to take the lead on a well-established, high-value practice that has been cultivated over decades.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Immediate impact: Take the helm of a longstanding practice with consistent revenue.
• Prestigious clientele: Serve high-net-worth individuals and multigenerational families (most with estate values exceeding $5 million).
• Clear partnership track: Transparent path to partnership for proven leaders.
• Trusted reputation: Join a firm with deep community ties and a sterling reputation across Northeast Florida.
• Robust support team: Work alongside a senior paralegal with decades of estate/trust experience plus full administrative and operational staff.

• 7+ years of experience in estate planning and probate, ideally with HNW clientele

You’re a Great Fit If You Are

• Ready to lead with confidence, integrity, and client-centered focus
• Entrepreneurial, yet collaborative and interested in firm growth and community impact

• Committed to long-term client relationships and delivering the highest level of service
• Looking to invest in both your future and your firm’s

• Competitive base salary ($125,000) with direct access to an established client portfolio
