Trial Attorney

Responsibilities

• Represent plaintiffs in personal injury matters - auto, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian collisions, catastrophic and brain injuries, premises liability, product liability, and wrongful death.
• Represent plaintiffs in medical malpractice matters - surgical and anesthesia errors, birth injuries, emergency room negligence, misdiagnosis, and medication errors.
• Develop cases from intake through resolution: investigate the facts, build the record, work with medical and liability experts, and prepare every file as if it's going to trial - because at our law firm, it might.
• Take and defend depositions, argue motions, and appear in Arizona state and federal courts.
• Negotiate aggressively with insurance carriers and defense counsel, knowing exactly when to hold the line and when to settle on our clients' terms.
• Communicate directly with clients at every stage - because at our law firm, keeping people informed isn't an afterthought, it's the culture.
• Partner with our paralegals and nationwide network of shareholders and trial lawyers across our Colorado, Florida, Ohio, and Wyoming offices.

Requirements

• Active license (in good standing) to practice law in Arizona (or eligibility for prompt admission).
• Litigation experience in personal injury and/or medical malpractice; plaintiff-side experience strongly preferred.
• Genuine appetite for courtroom work - deposition and motion practice experience, with a desire to first-chair trials.
• Strong writing, negotiation, and case-strategy instincts.
• A client-first mindset - the same empathy and directness our clients describe when they talk about our team.
• The grit to go up against large corporations and insurance companies without blinking.

Built for Trial Lawyers, Not Just Case Managers

• Second- and first-chair opportunities alongside veteran shareholders with decades of verdicts behind them.
• Hands-on mentorship from a trial team that has secured results ranging from multi-million-dollar wrongful death verdicts to landmark product defect and gas explosion cases.
• Support to develop your own trial skills - voir dire, opening and closing, direct and cross-examination, expert handling - rather than a career spent managing files toward settlement.
• A clear runway - many of our shareholders built their careers at our law firm from associate to trial partner.

Benefits

• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience.
• Full benefits: medical, dental, and vision insurance; short- and long-term disability; term life and AD&D; medical and dependent care FSA/HSA options; 401(k) with annual firm contribution; and paid vacation, sick, personal, and maternity leave.
• A firm culture rooted in community - our attorneys are active in pro bono work, nonprofit boards, and civic institutions across every market we serve.
• A seat at a national table: local clout in Phoenix, backed by the strength of a firm with offices across the country.
