Attorney (Pre-Litigation, Bilingual Eng/Sp.)
Associate attorney job in Los Angeles, CA
*Attention California Lawyers: The Accident Guys might be for you + Tuition Reimbursement* Law school sold you a dream: fight for justice, help real people, maybe even _love_ what you do. But somewhere along the way? You got stuck - buried under timesheets, late-night emails, soulless corporate cases, and partners who don't even know your name.
If you're reading this, you're probably feeling it:
You want out.
You want purpose.
You want your damn life back. Now.
*The Accident Guys* is your exit ramp.
We're not another boring BigLaw knockoff. We're a multi-state personal injury firm with offices in California, Nevada, Arizona and Washington that fights hard for real people - not faceless companies. And we actually live the dream: meaningful cases, real wins, and full lives outside the office.
*Here's What You'll Actually Be Doing:*
* Representing people, not corporations. (No boardrooms full of suits here.)
* Crushing settlements against billion-dollar insurance companies.
* Leading your own team - case manager, admin, lien negotiator - and building your brand.
* Growing into a career that _you_ control, with a firm that's scaling fast.
*Here's What You WON'T Be Doing:*
* Filling in 6-minute billing increments to prove you're alive.
* Working late nights and weekends just to make partner someday-maybe.
* Defending companies you secretly hate.
* Feeling like your life is wasting away inside a gray cubicle.
*Why This Firm, and Why Now:*
* $120k+ starting salary (DOE) + bonus opportunities.
* No billable hours, ever.
* No nights and weekends. Live your life.
* *Tuition reimbursement up to $200k (we help you kill those student loans).*
* Health, dental, vision, 401k, catered lunches, standing desks, brand new office.
* Fast-track career growth - no waiting 10 years to matter here.
*Who We're Looking For:*
* Active California bar license.
* 1+ years personal injury/negotiation experience preferred (or just pure hunger and grit).
* Killer communication skills (talk to clients like a human, not a robot).
* Organized, relentless, resourceful.
* A fighter at heart, with enough hustle to fill an entire courtroom.
*This Isn't Just a Job. It's a Rebellion.*
You didn't put yourself through law school just to be another cog in the machine.
You're meant to fight. To win. To _matter._
And to still have time to binge Netflix, go to the gym, or catch a flight on Friday night without checking your inbox every 5 minutes.
*It's time to bet on yourself.*
Join us. Start winning for the people - and for yourself.
