About the Firm

Anidjar & Levine, P.A. is a technology-forward personal injury law firm driven by a single core purpose: fighting for people when it matters most . Our clients are not just a number — every client gets the attorney's cell phone number and nets one-third of the recovery.

Role Summary

The Pre-Suit Attorney manages a caseload of personal injury matters from intake through pre-suit resolution or transition to litigation.

The Pre-Suit Attorney works closely with case managers (who report to a dedicated middle management layer) and provides input and guidance on case progression..
