Junior Associate Attorney

Haffner Law PC

Job Description

Job Description

Overview
Haffner Law represents plaintiffs in serious personal injury, wrongful death, insurance bad faith, and class action cases throughout California. We take on high-value contingency matters that other firms pass on — the cases with real liability fights and real damages. We are looking for a junior associate to join our team and grow into a trial lawyer.

Duties

  • Carry real case responsibility from day one, under direct supervision of senior counsel
  • Draft pleadings, motions, and written discovery
  • Take and defend depositions
  • Work up cases for mediation and trial
  • Sit second chair (and eventually first chair) on cases that go to verdict

Skills

  • Strong research skills with proficiency in LexisNexis and Westlaw platforms
  • Excellent writing skills with the ability to draft clear, concise legal documents and correspondence
  • Knowledge of multiple practice areas including estate planning, environmental law, immigration law, family law, securities law, workers' compensation law, personal injury law, tribal law & regulations, litigation, and patent law
  • Effective negotiation skills for supporting settlement discussions or contract reviews
  • Experience with legal administrative tasks such as case file organization and document management
  • Ability to analyze complex legal issues critically and apply relevant statutes or case law effectively
  • Familiarity with legal research tools and software used within a busy law office environment

What we are looking for

  • 1–3 years of California civil litigation experience
  • Active CA bar membership in good standing
  • Comfort with contingency work and the pace of an active plaintiff's practice
  • Plaintiff-side experience preferred; defense experience considered

What we offer

  • Compensation at or above market for your experience level
  • Performance bonuses tied to case outcomes
  • Significant case responsibility — you will not be doing doc review for two years
  • High-value, factually interesting cases against sophisticated defense firms
  • Direct mentorship from the firm's owner, a trial lawyer admitted in CA, NY, and WA
  • Health benefits, 401(k), paid time off
  • In-office position in Sherman Oaks

Join us to embark on an enriching career path where your enthusiasm meets meaningful work. We are dedicated to fostering growth through hands-on experience while supporting your professional development every step of the way.

Benefits:

  • 401(k)
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Retirement plan
  • Vision insurance

Work Location: In person
