POSITION SUMMARY: 

The firm has a highly active Litigation Team of Trial Attorneys and their support staff, responsible for representing the firm’s clients after pre-suit and through the conclusion of the case, whether via settlement or trial.

Trial Attorneys are compensated with a base salary, commensurate with experience, and a guaranteed bonus structure based on a percentage of the fees you obtain. Our caseload is growing and the ideal candidate for this position is organized, professional, responsible, and committed to helping us meet our clients’ needs.
