\n

$200,000–$250,000 per year | Full-Time

\n

\n

Helen F. Dalton & Associates, P.C. is looking for a motivated attorney with 1–2 years of personal injury litigation experience who is ready for the next step.

\n

\n

If you've learned the fundamentals but want more — more meaningful cases, more responsibility, more courtroom and deposition experience, and better compensation — this may be the opportunity for you.

\n

You'll work on plaintiff personal injury cases, develop your litigation skills, and take on increasing responsibility while still having the mentorship and support of experienced attorneys.

\n

\n

And you'll have your own dedicated paralegal.

\n

\n

What makes this opportunity different

\n

We want our attorneys focused on  practicing law , not doing everything themselves.

\n

Your dedicated paralegal will help keep your cases organized and moving, giving you more time to focus on case strategy, depositions, court appearances, negotiations, and your clients.

\n

You'll have real responsibility —  but you won't be left on an island.

\n

Our attorneys collaborate, discuss strategy, and support one another. You'll have the independence to develop your own judgment while still having experienced attorneys available when you need guidance.
