Job description

Affinity Consulting Group is assisting with the hiring of a Personal Injury Attorney for our client, the Law Office of Yohannes K. Sium, PLLC. This is for an in-person role in downtown Seattle. The Law Office of Yohannes K. Sium is a growing plaintiff firm built around one simple idea: exceptional legal representation begins with genuine relationships.

You're Already a Great PI Attorney.

Help Shape the Future of a Growing Plaintiff Firm.

The best plaintiff attorneys usually aren't actively looking for a new job.

But maybe you're ready for more ownership. More influence. More meaningful client relationships. And the opportunity to help build something that's still growing.

If that sounds familiar, we'd love to meet you.

This isn't about filling an opening. It's about finding the right attorney to help shape where the firm goes next. You'd work directly with the Founding Attorney, take ownership of meaningful cases, and help shape the future of the firm's litigation practice.

If you're looking for a place where your work has a direct impact on both clients and the future of a growing firm, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Why This Role Is Different

This isn't a large firm where you're one of dozens of attorneys.

It's also not a solo practice where you're carrying everything yourself. You'll have autonomy over your work without carrying the weight of running an entire practice yourself.

Instead, you'll join a collaborative, close-knit team where your experience matters, your ideas are welcomed, and your work directly influences the future of the firm.

Many of our clients are immigrants, professional drivers, and small business owners navigating some of the most difficult moments of their lives. We believe in building trust, communicating clearly, and helping clients understand a legal system that often feels overwhelming.

If that kind of work motivates you, you'll fit right in.

You May Be a Great Fit If You...

• Have meaningful plaintiff or insurance defense litigation experience.

• Enjoy negotiating and advocating for clients.

• Want greater ownership over your cases and client relationships.

• Value collaboration but enjoy working independently.

• Communicate well with clients from diverse backgrounds.

• Enjoy helping people through difficult situations.

• Are interested in helping build a growing firm rather than simply filling a role.

• Are comfortable learning new technology and improving systems.

What You'll Do

• Handle personal injury matters from litigation through resolution.

• Negotiate directly with insurance companies.

• Draft, file, and argue motions in Superior and Federal Court.

• Conduct and defend depositions.

• Handle arbitrations.

• Guide clients through every stage of the litigation process.

• Collaborate with the team to improve processes and client service.

• Utilize technology, including Clio and AI tools, to improve efficiency.

More About the Client

For more than 15 years, the firm has represented individuals and small business owners during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Many of those clients are immigrants, professional drivers, and entrepreneurs who depend on their vehicles and businesses to support their families. They need an attorney who not only knows the law but also communicates clearly, earns trust, and genuinely cares about helping them move forward.
