Position: Medical Malpractice Associate Attorney
Ostroff Godshall Injury and Accident Lawyers, a highly successful personal injury law firm with 8 offices across the State (main office located in Blue Bell, PA), has an exciting opportunity for a Full-time Attorney to join our team.
Ostroff Godshall is not the PI firms of yesterday. We are young, aggressive, and growing. We are looking for motivated/self-driven lawyers that want to make a mark for their clients, themselves, and the Firm.
Why Work for Ostroff Godshall?
- You will not have to market for cases. Although you are welcome to do so if you wish.
- Fee shares/bonuses paid on each case litigated to a resolution, with payment made at the time of the Firm receives the fee so YOU DON’T have to count on discretionary bonuses at the whim of ownership.
- If you bring in referrals you will receive a written, guaranteed percentage of the fee that matches the fee received by the Firm, as per your employment agreement.
- We have a structured office with carefully thought-out policies and procedures that help move cases efficiently. These include an executive branch that runs the Firm, an intake department, a pre-litigation department with lawyers and case managers responsible for building cases, and a litigation department responsible for handling cases through resolution.
What We’re Looking For:
We believe in hiring smart, good people. We are looking for the right attorney to join our team. The candidate must want to independently handle a case load and want to try cases throughout Pennsylvania. The candidate should have experience in handling medical malpractice or nursing home cases and a drive to work on complex cases from investigation to trial. This is not a litigation attorney position; it is a position for a trial attorney.
Why Join Us:
- An opportunity to be a part of a dynamic, forward-thinking law firm committed to making a real difference in the lives of our clients.
- Competitive compensation package with benefits and the chance to be a beacon of hope for those in need of legal representation.
