Personal Injury Litigation Attorney
About the role
Morgan & Morgan is looking for an experienced Personal Injury Litigation Attorney to join its quickly growing practice of plaintiff's personal injury lawyers and supporting case staff in our growing Detroit office.

Additionally, each litigator will have a large case staff assisting them, including a dedicated paralegal and a dedicated legal assistant.
