A bit about us:
Plaintiff Personal Injury Associate Attorney (5–8 YOE) — Teaneck, NJ (Hybrid)
Comp: $100,000–$150,000 base (DOE) + potential bonus
Schedule: Hybrid (some in-office presence in Teaneck, NJ)
Practice: Plaintiff-side personal injury (high-volume + serious injury matters)
Well-established NJ/NY plaintiff PI practice with roots going back to the early 1980s and a long-standing focus on representing injured individuals (not corporate defendants).
Midsize team: the firm has stated it has 28 injury lawyers, including 13 NJ Supreme Court–certified civil trial attorneys (a credential held by a small fraction of NJ attorneys).
Multi-office footprint in New Jersey, plus a New York City presence (useful for metro-area venue familiarity and client reach).
Handles a broad mix of injury cases, with emphasis on serious/catastrophic matters.
Why join us?
Plaintiff-side only representation model (mission-driven, contingency results focus).
Bench strength for trial work (certified civil trial attorneys on the roster).
Established pipeline + infrastructure across multiple offices in NJ/NY.
Job Details
Role summary (who they want)
They’re looking for a 5–8 year plaintiff-side PI associate who can run files with increasing independence—comfortable taking depositions, managing discovery, working up damages, and driving cases toward resolution (and trial when needed).
Responsibilities
Manage a plaintiff personal injury caseload from intake through resolution (pre-suit + litigation matters, depending on need).
Draft and argue motions (dispositive and non-dispositive), handle written discovery, and manage case strategy.
Take and defend depositions (parties, fact witnesses, treating physicians/experts as appropriate).
Lead settlement negotiations and prepare for/attend mediations and settlement conferences.
Trial preparation: exhibit and witness prep, outlines, subpoenas, trial binders, coordinating experts, and supporting trial team as needed.
Client communication: regular updates, expectation-setting, medical treatment tracking, damages development, and lien coordination (as applicable).
Qualifications
5–8 years of experience in plaintiff personal injury (required).
NJ bar admission in good standing (NY is a plus, not required).
Proven experience with litigation workflow: discovery, motion practice, depositions, and negotiations.
Strong writing skills (motions/briefs/demand packages) and confident courtroom presence.
Able to work semi-autonomously with solid judgment, organization, and urgency.
Nice-to-haves (great signals for this firm)
Experience with catastrophic injury, complex auto/trucking, premises, product liability, or med-mal exposure.
Meaningful deposition volume and/or first-chair trial exposure (even if limited).
Comfort working in a metro NY/NJ environment (venue familiarity across the region is helpful).
