Civil Trial Attorney | Hackensack, NJ | Hybrid | $120K–$160K

For litigators who want real courtroom exposure and the opportunity to try cases.

A respected New Jersey litigation firm is seeking a Civil Trial Attorney to join its insurance defense litigation team in Hackensack.

This opportunity offers hands-on litigation work and the chance to actively develop as a trial lawyer. Attorneys in this role manage cases from inception through resolution, take and defend depositions, argue substantive motions, and participate directly in arbitrations and trials.

Lawyers who are building trial experience will have the opportunity to second-chair cases and work closely with seasoned litigators who are actively involved in mentoring and developing courtroom talent.

The firm has built a strong reputation within the New Jersey litigation community and offers a collaborative environment where attorneys are trusted with meaningful responsibility and direct client interaction.

This role tends to attract litigators who enjoy advocacy and want to spend time in the courtroom, not just managing discovery. Attorneys from insurance defense, plaintiff personal injury, or prosecutorial backgrounds often transition well into the practice.

Location: Hackensack, NJ (Hybrid)

Compensation: $120,000 – $160,000 + bonus + full benefits

All inquiries will be held in strict confidence.
