Job Description

Base Salary: $135,000 - $150,000+ (qualification-dependent - see below)

We pay Competitive Quarterly Performance Commissions as well as Referral Bonuses on cases you personally originate.

The short version: We have 600+ active PI cases, a bilingual client base growing every month, and a firm that has structured itself - deliberately - so that a great trial attorney can earn like one. We are not looking for someone to manage files. We are looking for someone who closes them.

HOW COMMISSIONS WORK

Commissions are paid quarterly on firm-wide PI fees collected and banked. There is NO CEILING .

• Minimum 2 first-chair jury or bench trials taken to verdict

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

• Collaborate with your pod team on discovery, records, and demand packages
• Represent clients at status hearings, motions, and pre-trial conferences

STRONGLY PREFERRED (NOT REQUIRED)

• Bilingual Spanish/English

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
