Description:

We're hiring an Associate Attorney who brings both fight and heart: aggressive with the defense, compassionate with clients, and committed to a true 5-star client experience.

What You'll Handle
  • a balanced mix of pre-suit and litigation
  • Case types include: MVA, premises liability, wrongful death, product liability, and trucking/commercial cases

What Makes This Role Different
  • Dedicated support staff: case manager, legal assistant, and litigation paralegal
  • Mentorship from the owner (direct, ongoing, and intentional)
  • Weekly case strategy meetings with the owner and your team
  • Trial-minded culture: build cases for trial, conduct focus groups, and sharpen real litigation skills
  • Systems that work: Filevine + proven workflows (no chaos, no guessing)
  • You won't be on an island. You'll be supported, coached, and pushed to grow.

What You'll Do:
  • Drive pre-suit negotiations and litigation strategy
  • Draft demands, pleadings, motions, and discovery
  • Take and defend depositions and prepare witnesses
  • Attend mediations, hearings, and case conferences
  • Communicate with clients clearly and compassionately
  • Conduct jury focus groups to build trial strategy

What We're Obsessed With
  • Client experience
  • Strong case value
  • Pushing the defense
  • Protecting families
  • Preparation and performance

Who Thrives Here
You'll thrive here if you are:
  • proactive, organized, and deadline-driven
  • confident in conflict and not intimidated by insurance defense
  • a strong writer and communicator
  • compassionate with clients and relentless with the defense
  • coachable and hungry to grow
  • collaborative and team-oriented

Bilingual Spanish is a huge plus.

Ownership Matters Here
We want attorneys who take ownership.
We don't do excuses. We don't do drama. We don't do passivity. We move cases forward with urgency, strategy, and heart, because our clients and their families are counting on us.

This Role Is NOT For You If
  • you want slow-paced work or a light caseload
  • you avoid conflict or struggle to push the defense
  • you “settle to settle” instead of building value
  • you prefer solo work over team collaboration
  • you don't believe client communication matters

Qualifications:
  • Active Florida Bar license in good standing
  • 2+ years experience preferred (PI, civil litigation, or insurance defense)
  • Strong writing, organization, and client-facing communication skills
  • Filevine familiarity is a plus (we can train)
