YOUR SUPPORT STRUCTURE

You will not be doing this alone. Every attorney at Right Path Law Group operates with a dedicated support team, so your focus is solely on moving cases. Your team handles the infrastructure.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Owns a caseload of 100+ active PI matters across pre-litigation and active litigation
• Drive cases from treatment to demand to settlement or trial verdict
• Conduct depositions, hearings, mediations, and jury trials across our five-state footprint
• Collaborate with your pod team on discovery, records, and demand packages
• Represent clients at status hearings, motions, and pre-trial conferences
• Originate referral business from your professional and community network

STRONGLY PREFERRED (NOT REQUIRED)

• Bilingual Spanish/English -- the client base is majority Spanish-speaking

THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE ROLE FOR YOU IF...

• Your first question in any interview is about remote flexibility or PTO
• You have never taken a case to trial because you "prefer settlements."
• Your trial record is thin, and you're hoping we won't verify it -- we will
• You need a partnership track conversation before you've demonstrated anything
• You define "high-volume" as 40 cases

HOW TO APPLY

Incomplete applications are not reviewed. Submit:

• Your resume -- current, not a LinkedIn export
• Trial list -- case type, jurisdiction, and verdict or outcome. If you have fewer than 2 trials, tell us why and what you have instead
• A short note (3-5 sentences) on why Right Path Law Group specifically -- not just "a plaintiff PI firm." We do not respond to form cover letters
• Bar admissions with current status
