Hello!
I am looking for someone awesome to join my law firm! I am a sole practitioner and just starting out in personal injury law, I hope we can grow together. I will take time to explain what I want from you. I will pay bonus if I am happy with your work and I hope we can work together for a long time if things go well.

Please let me KNOW YOUR HOURLY RATE. We can discuss a raise in the future, but I am a start-up so finances are a consideration.

You will field and return calls from prospective clients – people struggling after being injured. You will run through the right questions (I will provide them to you) and guide them through a well-structured interview, obtaining the essential information that will allow the lawyer to evaluate the potential case.
