A bit about us:

Plaintiff Personal Injury Associate Attorney (5–8 YOE) — Teaneck, NJ (Hybrid)

Comp: $100,000–$185,000 base (DOE) potential bonus
Schedule: Hybrid (some in-office presence in Teaneck, NJ)
Practice: Plaintiff-side personal injury (high-volume serious injury matters)

Well-established NJ/NY plaintiff PI practice with roots going back to the early 1980s and a long-standing focus on representing injured individuals (not corporate defendants).

Midsize team: the firm has stated it has 28 injury lawyers, including 13 NJ Supreme Court–certified civil trial attorneys (a credential held by a small fraction of NJ attorneys).

Multi-office footprint in New Jersey, plus a New York City presence (useful for metro-area venue familiarity and client reach).

Handles a broad mix of injury cases, with emphasis on serious/catastrophic matters.


Why join us?

Plaintiff-side only representation model (mission-driven, contingency results focus).

Bench strength for trial work (certified civil trial attorneys on the roster).

Established pipeline infrastructure across multiple offices in NJ/NY.


Job Details

Role summary (who they want)

They’re looking for a 5–8 year plaintiff-side PI associate who can run files with increasing independence—comfortable taking depositions, managing discovery, working up damages, and driving cases toward resolution (and trial when needed).

Responsibilities

Manage a plaintiff personal injury caseload from intake through resolution (pre-suit litigation matters, depending on need).

Draft and argue motions (dispositive and non-dispositive), handle written discovery, and manage case strategy.

Take and defend depositions (parties, fact witnesses, treating physicians/experts as appropriate).

Lead settlement negotiations and prepare for/attend mediations and settlement conferences.

Trial preparation: exhibit and witness prep, outlines, subpoenas, trial binders, coordinating experts, and supporting trial team as needed.

Client communication: regular updates, expectation-setting, medical treatment tracking, damages development, and lien coordination (as applicable).

Qualifications

5 years of experience in plaintiff personal injury (required).

NJ bar admission in good standing (NY is a plus, not required).

Proven experience with litigation workflow: discovery, motion practice, depositions, and negotiations.

Strong writing skills (motions/briefs/demand packages) and confident courtroom presence.

Able to work semi-autonomously with solid judgment, organization, and urgency.

Nice-to-haves (great signals for this firm)

Experience with catastrophic injury, complex auto/trucking, premises, product liability, or med-mal exposure.

Meaningful deposition volume and/or first-chair trial exposure (even if limited).

Comfort working in a metro NY/NJ environment (venue familiarity across the region is helpful).
