  • Passion for helping individual people of varied backgrounds
  • Efficient work practices with the ability to handle a high volume of cases in various stages of litigation
  • Courage to try cases that should not be settled
  • Creativity in case strategy within an evolving area of law
  • Self-motivated with a strong ability to work independently, yet pitch in and help the team when needed
  • Eager to contribute to the overall success of our firm by participating in marketing, business development, and community outreach activities
  • Willingness to attend continuing legal education opportunities and participate in organizations dedicated to the practice of representing injured workers

WHAT WE OFFER:

We are a forward-thinking law firm and do not prescribe to the antiquated law firm "partnership track." Instead, we provide our attorneys with an environment that allows them to practice law without the worries that come with running a business.  We will provide a steady stream of work, competitive salary, employer-paid health insurance, a retirement plan, talented support staff and an efficient, comfortable office with mentorship and the tools you need to succeed in today’s workers’ compensation environment.
