In our firm, you are part of a team, you are never alone.
We seek someone who is genuine, is easy to work with, and is a good team player. You should be able to take ownership of your projects and meet deadlines in advance. We are not looking for copy-and-paste type persons; our pleadings are custom-made to the individual case. The ideal candidate should have superb research and writing skills.

Our firm realizes that if not for our clients, we have no purpose. As a result, our goal is the best customer service in the country. You should share that philosophy. While we are sensitive to a work-life balance, we are seeking an attorney who is a hard worker, can multitask, and pay attention to details. In return, if you have a vet or dental appointment in the daytime, not a problem. After 4 years, you receive 5 weeks off with pay. At the inception, you receive your birthday and Valentine's Day off with pay.
Please submit a confidential cover letter telling us about yourself including your rate of pay and benefits required. Submit 3 writing samples (ie something you wrote yourself) including a complaint and arb/med/trial brief or something similar.
