THE FIRM: Blaszkow Legal, PLLC is an established (begun in 1992) Northern Virginia personal injury law firm. We litigate personal injury and insurance claims in both state and federal courts in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. We are a small (but aggressive!), tech savvy, team that is focused on OUTSIDE THE BOX solutions that optimize client recoveries.

A strong desire to advocate on behalf of our clients is a must. This is a full time position, that could occasionally entail weekend and evening work. NOTE - this is NOT an entry level position! We are seeking someone who has experience in personal injury practice (plaintiff, defense, workers comp, et al)
COMPENSATION: Base salary ranges from $48,000 - $60,000 (depending on qualifications and experience), plus reachable monthly performance bonuses, and participation bonuses for business brought to the firm.
