Litigation Attorney - Personal Injury

Description

Build the Future of Trial Law in Dallas with a National Injury Firm!

This isn’t just another trial attorney position. We’re looking for a true courtroom advocate, not just a desk lawyer. This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, rapidly expanding Dallas firm with offices in Texas and Colorado, led by a seasoned trial lawyer who built his reputation the hard way – 65 trials, one verdict at a time.

Rob Wilhite, a Dallas native, founded this firm with a focus on aggressive, results-driven representation. Now, he’s building the next era of personal injury law in Texas, aiming to be the go-to firm for injured Texans. We’re smart, professional, tech-forward, and trial-focused – a brand and team you can be proud to be part of.

We’ve got a pipeline full of high-value litigation cases. We’re looking for fearless, empathetic trial lawyers who want to build our Texas trial reputation from the ground up.

You Might Be a Fit If You Are

• Trial hungry. You have first- or second-chaired multiple jury trials—and want more trial-worth cases. Some messy, but all are worth fighting for
• Value driven. You’re done settling junk files and ready to chase real value in court
• Autonomous, not arrogant. You want a firm that respects your time, pays well, and lets you lead
• Calm under pressure. You think clearly under pressure and keep it cool when the heat’s on–no jerks allowed, ever
• Student of the game. You’ve got courtroom presence, strategic thinking, study the best trial lawyers, and read TrialGuides books and other materials to master your craft
• Growth mentality. You’re unfazed by adversity and have the work ethic to make order out of chaos.
  
  

What You’ll Do

• Own and work up litigation docket for trial, not just to settle at mediation at a discount
