Associate Lawyer

Preszler Injury Lawyers is seeking an intermediate to senior associate lawyer to handle personal injury files. We have a full file load for the right candidate to step into.
This role is ideal for a lawyer with a strong commitment to access to justice. Our work often involves representing individuals against large institutions and insurers, ensuring that legal advocacy is available to everyone, regardless of their financial resources.
As a personal injury firm, we sue large corporations on behalf of people who generally lack power. Our goal is to provide legal services that only the wealthiest people can afford to anyone regardless of their ability to pay. We consider our practice as more of a calling than a job and are looking for a lawyer who shares that same mindset.

good communication and client management skills;
a willingness to abandon ego in service of doing the best job possible for deserving clients;
an interest in trauma informed lawyering;
a strong work ethic;
and, an interest in personal injury law as a calling to help vulnerable and deserving clients by providing access to justice.
Preszler has a well-developed trial and litigation team with lawyers of all seniority levels. Mentorship opportunities at trial and otherwise are provided to all associates.
The firm provides each associate with a full practice but also has room to reward lawyers who source their own work, if they so choose.
What We Offer:
A full practice upon hire;
