Job description

Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys | Las Vegas, Nevada

Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys is seeking an experienced personal injury litigation attorney who is ready to take ownership of cases, drive them toward resolution, and take matters through trial and verdict when the value of the case demands it.

This role is designed for an attorney who does more than manage deadlines and wait for cases to resolve. We are looking for someone who treats every file as their responsibility, develops a strategy for each case, confronts weaknesses directly, holds the defense accountable, and consistently works to maximize value for the client.

The right attorney knows when to push aggressively toward resolution and when the best result requires patience, additional development, or trial. Assertive without being reckless. Strategic without being passive. Competitive without losing sight of the client.

You will inherit an active caseload and work closely with our pre-litigation department, which develops and positions cases before suit is filed. You will step into existing matters, quickly assess what each case needs, establish a clear litigation strategy, and take ownership from there.
