Are you a recent law school graduate or a junior attorney looking to make a real impact for the injured? Beninato & Matrafajlo is seeking a driven, high-energy Associate Attorney to join our dual-practice firm.
We are looking for an advocate who is ready to manage a diverse caseload that spans both NJ Superior Court (Civil Litigation) and the Division of Workers' Compensation (Administrative Law).

- Counsel: Provide compassionate, direct legal advice to clients during the most difficult moments of their lives.
- Communication: Maintain consistent contact with clients to ensure they are apprised of every step in their legal journey.
- Licensure: Must be admitted to practice law in the State of New Jersey.
- Only those authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship will be considered for this position
- Experience: 0–2 years (Recent grads and judicial clerks are encouraged to apply).
- Attributes: An "on-your-feet" mentality—you should thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy a busy court calendar.
- Skills: Exceptional writing, verbal communication, and the ability to build rapport with clients.
You will work directly with a highly rated legal team in a collaborative environment where your contributions are valued. We offer a competitive salary based on experience and a clear path for professional growth.
