Job description

We’re an award-winning plaintiff personal injury law firm in Irvine built around growth, accountability, compassion, and a relentless commitment to our clients.

Our attorneys aren’t simply managing files. They’re trusted advocates, strategists, negotiators, and leaders who have a direct impact on the lives of the people we represent.

We’re looking for an experienced Plaintiff Personal Injury Attorney who knows how to take ownership of a case, build trust with clients, negotiate strategically, and consistently look for ways to maximize results.

If you’re looking for meaningful work, quality cases, strong support, high-level mentorship, and a team that genuinely values your contribution, we’d love to meet you.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

The Case

You’ll take ownership of personal injury cases from intake through settlement, developing the strategy and driving the case forward.

You’ll:

Conduct strategic investigations into liability, damages, and case value
Analyze medical records, evidence, and other case-related documentation
Develop case strategy and identify opportunities to maximize value
Draft and review demand packages and other legal documents
Negotiate with insurance carriers and opposing counsel
Evaluate settlement offers and make strategic recommendations
Maintain a strong understanding of the legal and factual issues affecting each case

The Client Experience

Our clients come to us during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

You’ll be responsible for helping them understand the legal process
Set the expectations
Answer their questions
Making sure they feel informed and supported throughout their case.

We believe exceptional legal representation and exceptional client service go hand in hand.

Collaboration

You won’t be doing this alone.
You’ll work closely with legal assistants, case managers, medical professionals, lien negotiators, and attorneys to move cases forward and deliver the best possible results for our clients.

Ownership

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t wait to be told what needs to happen.

You’ll have significant responsibility for your caseload, and we expect our attorneys to take genuine ownership of the work

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for an attorney who combines strong legal judgment with exceptional communication, organization, and client-service skills.

You’ll likely thrive here if you:

Are an active attorney in good standing
Have 5+ years of plaintiff personal injury experience preferred
Have a strong understanding of California personal injury law and procedures
Have experience managing a significant personal injury caseload
Are a strong negotiator who knows how to evaluate risk, leverage, and case value
Communicate confidently and empathetically with clients
Are highly organized and detail-oriented
Take ownership of your cases and follow through
Can work independently while contributing to a collaborative team
Are comfortable making strategic decisions and advocating for your clients
Care about both the outcome of the case and the experience of the person behind it
Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus, but not required.

This is a hands‑on, high-accountability role.

You’ll have autonomy, but you’ll also be expected to own your results.

You’ll need to be comfortable managing multiple priorities, making decisions, communicating with clients, and pushing cases forward without waiting for someone else to tell you what to do.

If you’re looking for a position where you can simply manage files without taking ownership of the bigger picture, this may not be the right fit.

If you’re an attorney who wants to build cases, advocate for clients, grow professionally, and be surrounded by people who are serious about winning, we think you’ll fit right in.
