Lawyer - Litigation Associate - Hackensack, United States - Bergen County Law Firm
Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionWanted: Recent Law School Grads (Litigation Associate, Personal Injury Lawyer - Bergen County, NJ)
Why did you go to law school?
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. But, if your answer to any of the above is no further. 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 30 personal injury trial attorneys of which 12 are NJ-certified civil trial attorneys by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
If you are serious about your career and not just getting a job, this is what you need to do on your cover letter:
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 your dreams and good luck. But, if you want excitement, we're your future because Uncle Charlie probably called it right.
Comprehensive Benefits Package available, which includes free medical employee coverage, life insurance, and supplemental disability coverage.
Responsibilities:Including but not limited to:
Leading personal injury law firm based in North New Jersey, dedicated to providing exceptional legal representation and client-focused service. With over 100 employees, our firm is committed to achieving outstanding results for clients while maintaining a collaborative and dynamic work environment.
