Job Description

The Ledger Law Firm (Texas Division) is hiring a seasoned personal injury attorney (minimum 2 years plaintiff PI experience) to handle matters from intake through resolution—covering both pre-litigation and litigation . This is an in-person role based in Dallas , designed for a lawyer who wants strong casework, serious professionalism, and a art-quality work environment built to support long-term excellence.

We run a disciplined, plaintiff-focused practice with high expectations for work product and client service—paired with the systems, staffing, and leadership that make those expectations achievable without constant chaos.

Why this role works

• In-person collaboration in Dallas: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with a strong team in amazing office environment.
• Balanced workload by design: Strong support staff and clear workflows so cases move consistently and clients stay informed.
• Quality standards, not busywork: We value strategy, clarity, and execution—no “spin your wheels” culture.

• 3+ years of personal injury experience (plaintiff-side strongly preferred; exceptional candidates with relevant litigation backgrounds considered)

• Proven ability to manage deadlines, client relationships, and negotiation/litigation workflow

• Strong valuation instincts and settlement negotiation discipline
• Confident in depositions, mediations, and motion practice
• Organized, responsive, and team-oriented in an in-person environment
