Associate Attorney

Warner & Fitzmartin, PLLC is a boutique plaintiff’s personal injury firm built for one purpose: to take care of injured people and bring the best possible client outcomes. We’re looking for an Associate Attorney who combines real client care with real courtroom grit. You tell the truth (even when it’s hard), advocate passionately for clients, and you don’t disappear when things get busy. You can negotiate confidently, litigate strategically, and still treat injured clients like people who are living through one of the hardest seasons of their lives. You are also a team player and excited to join our team of truly superb legal professionals who care about clients as much as you do. We have a simple rule: no ego, no drama, no “that’s not my job.” We all pitch in here; we protect clients, and we protect each other. If you think you’re too important to help with a task that keeps a case moving —even something small—this won’t be a fit. We also believe great lawyers should have great lives outside of work. When someone’s child is sick, the team covers. When deadlines hit, we handle them together. We expect grit and accountability, and we practice grace and teamwork. SPECIAL BONUS : If your background is insurance defense, you’re still welcome here — you might just LOVE it! This role is fully remote but requires in-person attendance for court hearings/appearances (and related events such as mediations, depositions, and trial) as needed. Candidates must reside within a reasonable driving distance of the relevant courts or be able to travel on short notice. YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE IF YOU CAN: Move files with urgency and judgment, and you consistently resolve matters at strong case value through smart evaluation, relentless follow-through, and disciplined negotiation. Build complete, persuasive demand packages quickly, get them out the door consistently, and turn demands into real negotiations that do not stall. Close matters every month, not every quarter. You manage a pipeline, you do not get buried, and you keep the firm’s recovery engine running. Push each case toward fee-in or suit-filed with a clear plan, deadlines, and accountability across the team. Drive pleadings, discovery, depositions, and mediation with control, momentum, and an eye toward leverage. Schedule decisively, prepare thoroughly, and do not let defense delay tactics turn into lost months. Hold your standards without extensions and without last-minute chaos. Keep clients informed with proactive updates, clear explanations, and honest counsel, especially when the news is hard. You build trust through consistency and presence. Direct staff clearly, delegate well, and maintain organized files and documentation so nothing gets dropped and every case keeps moving. COMPENSATION: $90,000 (commensurate with experience), plus eligibility for performance-based bonus compensation #J-18808-Ljbffr
