Personal Injury Attorney

Start your legal career somewhere that will actually invest in your growth.

Helen F. Dalton & Associates, P.C. is looking for a bright, motivated candidate interested in building a career in plaintiff-side personal injury litigation.

This is an opportunity to work alongside experienced attorneys, gain meaningful hands-on experience, and develop a strong foundation in litigation from the very beginning.

You'll be exposed to real cases, real clients, and real litigation — with mentorship, guidance, and support to grow your skills and take on greater responsibility as you progress.

A place to learn, grow, and build your career

We believe the early years of a legal career should be about more than simply getting through a caseload.

You'll learn how personal injury cases develop — from legal writing and case strategy to depositions, court appearances, negotiations, and client advocacy.

You'll be given meaningful responsibility while having experienced attorneys around you for mentorship, guidance, and support.

If you've recently completed law school and are preparing for the New York Bar, awaiting results, or working through the admission process, we'll support you through that transition as well.

What you'll be doing

• Working on plaintiff personal injury cases
• Legal research and writing
• Drafting pleadings, discovery, and motions
• Reviewing medical records and learning case evaluation
• Preparing cases and clients for depositions
• Assisting with court appearances and depositions
• Communicating with clients and opposing counsel
• Learning litigation strategy from experienced attorneys
• Taking on increasing responsibility as your skills develop

What we offer

• $100,000 annual salary
• Health insurance
• Hands-on mentorship and professional development
• Support through the Bar and admission process
• Meaningful litigation experience from the beginning
• Direct access to experienced attorneys
• Supportive, collaborative office culture
• Long-term professional growth
• Opportunity for one work-from-home day per week after becoming established in the position

Who we're looking for

• J.D. or upcoming J.D. from an accredited law school
• Strong legal research and writing skills
• Motivated, dependable, and eager to learn
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Genuine interest in litigation and advocating for injured clients
• Someone looking for a place to develop their skills and build a long-term legal career
