NEW IN - Plaintiff Personal Injury - Trial Lawyer (0–3 years) - Dallas -Up to $800k Total Comp
A plaintiffs’ personal injury trial firm built around one principle: prepare every case as if it will be tried to a jury. If you’re a Texas-barred lawyer under 3 years’ experience who wants real reps, real responsibility, and a team that expects serious performance, this is your seat.
As a Dallas trial lawyer, you’ll help drive plaintiff-side personal injury cases from day one—investigating, litigating, and preparing matters for trial in a firm that emphasizes trial readiness as leverage.
What you’ll do:
- Own and advance files through litigation: pleadings, written discovery, depositions, motion practice, hearings, mediation, and trial prep
- Work directly with clients (serious injuries, high stakes, real people) and keep communication tight and professional
- Coordinate with experts, treating providers, and vendors to build damages and liability proof
- Build courtroom skills fast: evidentiary thinking, witness prep, exhibit strategy, and theme development
Must-Haves
- Texas-barred attorney
- Plaintiff-side, contingency-only mindset (this role is not for hourly defense work)
- 100% on-site in Dallas
- Trial/litigation firepower appropriate to your level
Nice-to-Haves:
- You’ve joined a firm early before (clerked there, started right out of school)—you thrive in a culture you help build
- Experience from a large downtown firm (polished writing, systems, and discipline)A track record of ramping quickly and aiming for higher-value, more complex cases
- Personal alignment with a high-performance, merit-based environment
Highlights:
- Trial-first culture: Emphasizes being “trial lawyers” who prepare cases for juries—even when cases settle.
- Proven results: The firm highlights recoveries over $400 million and public case results including: $2.6M verdict for a warehouse worker struck by a falling box
- $2.75M settlement for a worker injured in a ladder fall
- $1.775M settlement for unsafe property conditions injuring a hotel guest
- Reputation: Lists a 4.9-star average Google rating on its site.
Salary: Approx $150k base with total earning as high as $800k for top performers
Location: Dallas - Onsite
