• Negotiate high-dollar settlements while preparing every case as if it's going to trial.

• Mentor junior litigators in trial strategy, courtroom performance, and litigation excellence.

• Communicate closely with clients, providing clarity, confidence, and compassion throughout the process.

• Active California State Bar license.

• 10+ years of plaintiff-side personal injury litigation experience (catastrophic injury emphasis).

• Extensive jury trial experience, with a strong preference for 10+ trials to verdict.

• ABOTA membership preferred; Board Certification in Civil Trial Law is a plus.

• Demonstrated ability to secure $1M+ verdicts or settlements.

• Mastery in litigation strategy, negotiation, and trial storytelling.

• Technologically proficient: legal research (Westlaw/Lexis), case management (Filevine preferred).

• Bilingual (Spanish/English) is a strong plus.

Who You Are

• A strategic warrior—you play chess while the defense plays checkers.

• A high-performer—you live for courtroom victories and thrive under pressure.

• A client advocate—you humanize legal narratives and connect with juries.

• A mentor and team builder—you lift others while raising the firm's collective game.

• A mission-aligned leader—you uphold the highest standards of ethics, impact, and integrity.

Why Join Us?

• Top-of-market compensation with lucrative performance-based bonuses.
