Associate Attorney

When you hear someone talking about an insurance company does your blood start to boil? Are you constantly thinking of creative ways to solve legal problems? Is your eye for detail so astute that people accuse you of being OCD? Do your dreams smell of polished mahogany and begin with the phrase, “All rise.”?

Final question :   When faced with a challenge, do you lean in or run away?

If you are passionate about helping people injured through no fault of their own, dream of being in the courtroom, have a scary attention to detail, like moving through cases at lightning speed, and love winning, you may be the perfect fit as our Associate Attorney.

The Associate Attorney will be responsible for managing assigned cases in all phases of the case cycle, including client communication, discovery, depositions, e-filings, research, pre-trial, and, best of all,  TRIAL .

You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with highly competent staff and attorney to develop cases, trial strategies, and develop sustainable processes and procedures that will shape our law firm for years to come—all while pushing cases toward the courthouse to get stellar results for our clients. Your goal will be to get defense counsel to say, “This case is moving at lightning speed!”
