  • Consistently document case status in the firm's case management system.

  • Attend scheduled court hearings and argue motions.
  • Cross-examine or depose experts, other parties, and witnesses.
  • Negotiate and resolve cases before trial while maximizing the best outcomes for our clients.
  • Prepare cases for a jury trial and try them from start to finish,
  • Qualifications :

  • Self-confident.
  • Full of initiative.
  • Driven to finish.
  • A boss at calendaring and meeting deadlines.
  • Five years of litigation and trial experience.

    In all we do, we are guided by three core values :

  • Compassion : We understand legal problems create life problems and care enough about clients to tackle both.
  • Grit : We have the passion and perseverance to finish whatever we start.
  • Poise : We are good-humored and gracious—especially under pressure.
  • We believe clients should be empowered to rise up against big insurance, corporations, and the government to protect their freedom, financial futures, physical well-being, and peace of mind. We believe there is a better way to help people, which is through the upfront relationships we build and the downstream results we fight for every day.
