Job description

Washington Auto Law & Mr. Crash Accident Attorneys is a premier personal injury firm that specializes in recovering maximum compensation for people injured in auto accidents so they can live a better life. It’s what we call Justice Delivered.

We are one of the fastest growing law firms in Washington because we have a commitment to excellence, we love helping our clients, and we are grateful to work as a team to make our clients’ lives and thereby our communities a better place. We are passionate professionals that are dedicated to the craft of fearless advocacy for injury victims.

To support our continued growth, we are looking for a high-caliber leader to formalize, build, and lead our Litigation Department. We are seeking a Senior Managing Litigation Attorney who wants to actively try cases while scaling a department. This role is primarily a remote/work-from-home position, offering excellent autonomy, with the expectation of occasional in-person collaboration, team meetings, or trial preparation at our office in Renton. This role is a blend of high-stakes advocacy and strategic leadership—you will manage an active litigation docket while taking ownership of building out the team, processes, and infrastructure for our growing litigation department.

You are a good fit if you are a positive, growth-minded professional that loves to find the opportunity in every challenge. Our culture is founded on Gratitude. You are compassionate with clients and energized by working with a team. If building and growing excites you, then this is the right place.

Key Responsibilities

• First-Chair Advocacy: Act as lead trial counsel on auto accident injury cases.
• Team Leadership & Process Design: Take ownership of leading, formalizing, and expanding our litigation department. Establish the tactical workflows, case metrics, and serve as the direct mentor to future litigation associates and support staff.
• Docket Management: Independently guide a specialized litigation docket from initial filing through discovery and jury trial.
• Pre-Litigation Synergy: Collaborate directly with our highly efficient pre-litigation division to identify and transition files when insurance carriers refuse to compensate our clients for what they are legally owed by the party responsible.

Why This Position Is Different

• The Autonomy of Trial without the Headaches of Business Ownership: If you love the courtroom, legal strategy, and mentoring but have zero desire to deal with the exhausting administrative and financial burdens of business ownership, this role was built for you.
• Zero Marketing or Origination Pressure: You do not need to bring clients with you, nor is there a case origination requirement. We handle 100% of the marketing and new client acquisition to keep your pipeline consistently filled with auto accident injury cases.
• No Financial Risk: You carry zero personal liability. The firm fully funds all advanced case costs (experts, focus groups, depositions) and handles all corporate overhead.
• True Workplace Autonomy: This is a primarily remote role. You manage your schedule and your team, utilizing our Renton office only when required for in person meetings, collaborative deep dives, trial prep, or court.
• Continuous Investment in Your Mastery: We believe in lifelong learning and commit to investing in your personal and professional development. The firm fully funds your growth by investing in top-tier CLEs, industry seminars, and premium trial advocacy conferences so you can continuously sharpen your craft alongside the nation's best litigators and leaders.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum of 10+ years of dedicated plaintiff-side personal injury litigation experience.
• Trial Record: A proven history of handling 10+ jury trials to verdict in Washington State courts as first-chair counsel.
• Licensure: Active member in good standing with the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA).
• Mindset: A high-level tactician who is passionate about the practice of law and professional mentorship but seeks the stability and focus of an employee role rather than ownership.
• Location Flexibility: Ability to work highly effectively from home while being available for trials, hearings, and occasional team collaboration at our Renton office.

Benefits & Compensation

• Base Salary: $200,000 per year base salary, supplemented by a performance-based percentage of gross profit generated.
• Workplace Freedom: Flexible remote work environment with complete home office independence.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Premium health and dental insurance plans.
• Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays.
• Complete backing, marketing budget, and financial resources from the firm to aggressively pursue large-scale litigation.
