Job description

Description

We're not your typical personal injury law firm. We are Poulin | Willey | Anastopoulo (formerly known as the Anastopoulo Law Firm -- you know, the "Don't Scream, Call Akim" folks!).

We believe in a dynamic, client-centric approach that puts our clients' needs first. Our team is dedicated to helping individuals who have suffered personal injuries navigate the legal process and secure the compensation they deserve. If you're looking to join a team that combines legal expertise with a commitment to client advocacy, you've come to the right place.

• We believe in justice for all – not just for the wealthy and powerful.
• We believe that justice delayed is justice denied.
• We believe that the best way to seek justice without delay is to manage all aspects of our firm using well-organized and uniform systems.
• We believe in rewarding smart successful work.

Are you:

• passionate about helping seriously injured innocent victims of corporate negligence?
• frustrated trying to take your career to a place that really matters?
• a trial lawyer who is most at home in the courtroom or fighting to get your clients there?
• a trial lawyer with experience working on complex legal matters in state and federal court?

Maybe you should come to work with us.

What You Will Do:

As a Trial Counsel - Nursing Home & Medical Neglect, you will take full ownership of your caseload—from discovery through verdict—and collaborate closely with paralegals, experts, and partners to drive exceptional outcomes. Very little “back-end” or pre-litigation-only work: this role is built for courtroom warriors ready to lead trials.

You will also:

1. Serve as primary counsel for nursing home negligence, elder-abuse, and medical neglect cases by providing exceptional legal support and guiding our clients through the case process while maintaining positive and communicative relationships with them
2. Draft and file litigation documents to include pleadings, discovery requests and responses, demands, motions and memoranda of law
3. Develop case theory, coordinate experts (medical, economic, life-care planners), and craft persuasive trial presentations
4. Lead depositions, jury selection, opening/closing statements, and direct/cross examinations
5. Manage in-court logistics and team roles (paralegals, co-counsel, investigators)
6. Provide compassionate guidance through complex medical and legal processes

Why Join Our Team:

• Growth Opportunities: We foster an environment where you can continuously learn and develop your skills, and the skills of those around you, opening the door to unlimited growth in your legal career.
• Client-Centric Approach: We put our clients first and are dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for them.
