Job DescriptionJob Description

In-house Personal Injury Litigation Associates, 3L students, and Law School Grads (Office location - Hackensack, New Jersey)


If you want Courtroom Action Read Below:

 

Why did you go to law school?


A. To review boring documents?

B. To spend the rest of your life doing legal research and writing memos?

C. To fill out time sheets to make other lawyers wealthy?

D. To defend corporations against lawsuits for the harms they caused?

E. To do foreclosures or to collect debts from poor people with no means?

F. To evict people and their families from houses?

G. None of the above

 

Yes, our society does need lawyers that do all of the above. I’m not knocking them because some of them are my best friends. Hopefully, your answer was G. But, if your answer to any of the above is yes, other than G, read no further and don't bother to call me. On the other hand, if your mom, dad, or Uncle Charlie told you that you should be a lawyer because you like to argue; or if your favorite part of kindergarten was “Show and Tell” then we want to interview you for an exciting career as a trial lawyer.

 

Let’s face it, most people don’t go to law school to become experts in reviewing oil and gas leases. Again, I’m not knocking that, but I went to law school to be like the lawyers on TV and in the movies. Yes, a trial lawyer, in the courthouse, talking to judges and juries representing real people. So, if that’s your dream, don’t settle for less and contact me for an exciting career as one of the new hires joining our 28 personal injury trial attorneys of which 11 are NJ-certified civil trial attorneys by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.

 

You may think that this job post is different. You are correct. We trial lawyers act differently, think differently, communicate differently, and are certainly not boring. We are excited, curious, ambitious, fun-loving, and lethal in court. If you want boring…follow your dreams and good luck. But, if you want excitement, we’re your future because Uncle Charlie probably called it right.
