Description:

Rowe Weinstein & Sohn, PLLC, a litigation firm with more than 25 years of experience, seeks a skilled trial attorney to join our Virginia office.

We are looking for an attorney who brings more than courtroom confidence: sound judgment, disciplined preparation, strong client relationships, and the ability to move cases forward. The successful candidate will assume substantive responsibility from the outset, managing civil litigation matters from initial evaluation through discovery, negotiation, and trial.

For an attorney who values direct client engagement and an active courtroom practice, this position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution at every stage of a case.

The Practice
You will handle a substantial civil litigation caseload, with responsibilities that include:

Evaluating new matters, identifying key issues, and developing practical litigation strategies.
Preparing pleadings and motions, conducting discovery, and taking and defending depositions.
Representing clients in hearings and serving as primary counsel in bench trials.
Advising clients on case strategy, settlement options, and litigation risks.
Managing deadlines and competing priorities while maintaining thorough preparation and responsive communication.

The Attorney We Seek
You are prepared to take ownership of your cases, exercise independent judgment, and deliver persuasive advocacy grounded in careful preparation. You can balance the demands of a busy practice without losing sight of the client or the details.

Required Qualifications:

Active Virginia Bar membership in good standing.
At least one year of civil litigation experience, including at least one year of bench-trial experience as primary counsel.
The ability to assume immediate responsibility for intake, case evaluation, discovery, depositions, and trial.
Strong legal writing, oral advocacy, case-management, and interpersonal skills.

Substantial trial experience in Virginia General District Court is strongly preferred. Maryland and/or District of Columbia Bar admission is a plus.
