Commission Based Personal Injury Attorney

Job Description

Job Description

Job description:

Join our growing personal-injury law firm located in the Galleria area of Dallas. We're seeking a highly motivated attorney, ready to work on challenging cases that come with reward. As a member of our unique team, you'll have the autonomy and freedom to run your own docket with a work/life balance that fits your needs.

The lawyer in this position will be supported by various in-house professionals. These colleagues make up our intake, reception, medical records, and closure teams. On top of this, each attorney has a dedicated Paralegal and a dedicated Medical Records Clerk. Most of these professionals have been with our office for 3 or more years, many for 5 or more.

A candidate for this position need not have experience in this field of law, nor Spanish fluency, but, both are helpful in quickly moving forward. A candidate MUST have an active license to practice law in the State of Texas.

This role is commission-only after the commencement period. After the full closure of a case, the amount of commission paid to the lawyer is 30% of the attorney fee kept in-house at office. If the lawyer is the referral source, the amount of commission paid to the lawyer is 46% of the attorney fee kept in-house.

The commencement period is a three-month period immediately after the lawyer's date of hire. During the commencement period, the lawyer will be paid, in addition to the commission structure described above, the biweekly equivalent of a $90,000.00 annual salary (about $3,333.33 before taxes) every two weeks.

If you're a highly motivated lawyer with a knack for problem solving and a desire to thrive in a great work environment, we want to hear from you.
