Pérez Law  is a workers' compensation and personal injury applicant firm serving injured workers across California with offices in Ontario and Pomona.

Why start here:

• No WC experience required; we'll train you on California workers' compensation law and procedure from day one.


• Direct mentorship from firm partners on live cases, not just shadowing.


• Fast track to running hearings, depositions, and cross-examinations yourself.

• Represent clients in hearings, trials, depositions, cross-examinations, and settlement negotiations (with mentorship support).

• Communicate directly with clients, insurers, and medical providers.


• Work alongside case managers and legal assistants who support your caseload administratively.


• Participate in mediations and settlement negotiations.


• Maintain compliance with firm policy, ethical standards, and CA WC regulations.

Required:

• JD from an accredited law school


• Active member, California State Bar, in good standing


• Strong legal research and writing skills

Preferred:

• Any exposure to CA workers' compensation law (internship, clerkship, etc.) — not required


• Comfort with legal case management software; Apple/Mac environments


• Bilingual English/Spanish

Compensation:

Starting $100,000 plus base DOE, PLUS settlement incentive bonus.

Flexible work from home options available.
