Personal Injury Attorney (Plaintiff-Side) - Glendale, CA
Because Justice Deserves a Strong Advocate.
Direct Counsel is partnering with a well-established plaintiff-side personal injury firm in Glendale that's looking for a driven, courtroom-ready attorney who knows how to move cases-and move the needle for clients.
If you thrive on ownership, strategy, and results (not micromanagement), this is a seat with your name on it.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn't a “push paper and wait for approval” role. You'll run your own cases, work directly with clients, negotiate with insurers who know your name, and build matters from intake through resolution-with trial exposure when cases demand it.
What You'll Be Doing
Owning a plaintiff-side personal injury litigation caseload from start to finish
Evaluating cases, spotting liability issues, and building winning strategies
Drafting pleadings, motions, discovery, and compelling settlement demands
Taking and defending depositions; appearing at mediations, arbitrations, and hearings
Negotiating settlements with insurance carriers and defense counsel
Collaborating with partners, paralegals, investigators, and medical providers
Preparing cases for trial and assisting in courtroom proceedings when needed
Keeping files tight, deadlines met, and clients informed every step of the way
What They're Looking For
3+ years of plaintiff-side personal injury litigation experience
Confidence managing cases independently (with support-not hand-holding)
Strong writing and advocacy skills
Ability to juggle multiple cases without dropping the ball
Immediate or near-term availability preferred
Compensation & Perks
$130,000 - $250,000 base (commensurate with experience and performance)
Full benefits package, including:
Health, dental & vision insurance
401(k) with employer match
Paid time off + sick pay
Free parking (because Glendale parking shouldn't be another battle)
The Environment
This is a full-time, in-office role for attorneys who value collaboration, mentorship, and being part of a tight-knit plaintiff-side team that fights hard-and celebrates wins.
