About the Firm
This is a high-growth legal team committed to advocating for individuals whose lives have been disrupted by serious accidents and negligence. With 400% revenue growth in the last three years, the Personal Injury team is expanding—and this role is a direct result of that success. Attorneys here don’t just handle cases—they help build systems, define team culture, and shape the future of a fast-rising litigation group.
The Opportunity
Join a close-knit, collaborative personal injury team known for its camaraderie, strong mentorship, and deep commitment to both client service and work-life balance.

Own a personal docket of 80–100 files, primarily in pre-litigation
Handle motor vehicle collisions, dog bites, premises liability, and occasional medical malpractice
Draft and negotiate demand letters and settlement packages

Maintain regular client communication by phone, email, and text
Coordinate with paralegal and legal assistant support staff
Client Communication & Strategy
Provide high-empathy counsel to individuals in crisis
Explain legal processes clearly across all educational levels
Deliver honest, tactful guidance about case value and strategy
Build rapport with opposing counsel and insurance reps
Performance Expectations

Independently manage files without constant supervision
Adopt and implement the practice group’s standardized systems
Contribute to a culture of collaboration and shared problem-solving
You’d Be a Great Fit If You Have:
5 years of legal practice experience (civil litigation or insurance defense acceptable)
Active license in Nebraska or Iowa (required)
Experience with plaintiff-side PI is a plus, but not required
Strong written and verbal communication skills
High emotional intelligence and client-facing maturity
Ability to balance empathy with assertiveness
Stability in prior roles (no frequent job-hopping)
Clear, confident courtroom and negotiation presence
