A Little About Us

We are a busy plaintiff’s personal injury firm located on the southside of Chicago with a second office in Northwest Indiana. We pride ourselves on providing superlative legal work and customer service. We use cutting edge technology in all aspects of our practice. The field of plaintiffs’ personal injury is changing and firms which are not prepared will fail within ten years. We will be the beneficiary of their failure to think ahead. There are few firms which do things the way we do. Intrigued? Keep reading.

What we need from you

Our threshold requirements are 2+ years in litigation experience, preferably in plaintiff or defense personal injury. You must have drafted and argued motions, taken depositions and ideally, taken cases to jury trial. The compensation package will be tailored to your level of experience, but will involve a base salary plus a percentage of your results. While this is an associate position, we are always willing to hire trial lawyers laterally and will pay accordingly.

You must be proficient in Microsoft Office suite as well as Adobe. You must be comfortable in learning and using our case management system, Smart Advocate. If you don’t have experience in some specific items, be forthright and honest. You will learn how to do all of these things.

• detail orientated and accurate
• reliable and hard working
• willing and eager to learn
• positive attitude about work, life and the world
• compassionate and caring
• good listener and explainer

Don’t just tell us you possess these qualities, show us how your past work experience demonstrates these characteristics. Explain how your personal interests reinforce these traits. Show us, don’t tell us. We do a thorough job in the hiring process to ensure the right people work for the firm and maintain the firm culture. If you make it through the hiring process, we expect you will work here for a long time. We treat our employees well. We encourage personal and professional growth which makes working here rewarding. We provide health insurance, 401(k), profit sharing and bonuses.
