Litigation Associate, Auto Defense | Jacksonville, FL | $125,000 to $200,000 | Auto

If you're the attorney who does that groundwork well, and you'd like credit for it, keep reading.

Why it's a step forward

• Real exposure from the start, not years of waiting for it

Auto defense is sometimes dismissed as routine. Anyone who has defended a disputed liability crash in front of a jury knows better. It rewards preparation, and it builds trial lawyers faster than almost anything else in insurance defense.

What the firm values

Attorneys who report clearly, make a call and stand behind it. Adjusters want a recommendation, not a list of possibilities. If you're comfortable giving one, and comfortable defending it at trial when it comes to that, you'll fit in quickly.
