THE FIRM: Blaszkow Legal, PLLC is an established (begun in 1992) Northern Virginia personal injury law firm.

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.
