Estate Litigation Attorney

PJI Law•Fairfax, VA

1d•$120,000 - $160,000

About The Position

PJI Law, PLC, an award-winning law firm in Fairfax, Virginia, is growing and looking for another kind, smart, and motivated attorney to join our wonderful team. We are looking for a full-time, Virginia-licensed Attorney who would enjoy the opportunity to interact with clients daily, design and execute strategies for their cases, and have significant independence in handling their caseload while at the same time having a strong support system from an excellent team of attorneys and committed support team members. Our firm exists to help those who wish to obtain legal protection and security for their families, sometimes in the wake of a personal, professional, or financial loss, and this position is crucial in allowing us to effectively help them. Specifically, the attorney will work exclusively as a member of our Fiduciary Litigation Team, which is a specialized practice group within our Estate Administration Department. The Team is made up of an internal team of support professionals and attorneys who specialize in complex litigation surrounding Trusts, Estates, Guardianships, and Powers of Attorney. While experience in estate litigation is a positive, we care more about hiring an attorney who is a strong match for our values and then training them in particular skills. An ideal candidate would have some level of experience in either civil litigation or administration of trusts and estates, along with an interest in learning the other, but we are more than happy to train on both. Estate litigation is and will continue to be in high demand as the wealth from one generation passes to the next, and PJI Law is well-positioned to meet the need for this attractive and growing practice area throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia and the District of Columbia. Our firm maintains reasonable expectations to allow for a sustainable work-life balance, and at the same time, provides the attorney with the opportunity to exceed requirements and grow his or her income. We are well-staffed and are proud to have a happy team, a structure that gives our attorneys access to a reliable support team for assistance. This allows our attorneys to focus on their core talents and work efficiently. Our firm is professionally managed, and our office is a team environment. You will be working with other dedicated members of our team who work hard to get the job done right, who take pride in their work, and who support each other through thick and thin. Every year since 2022, we have earned the prestigious “Great Place to Work” certification, with an average of 95% of our employees over the last four years praising our firm as a great place to work in an anonymous third-party survey. Our approach has allowed us to succeed and build a loyal client base that has sustained our strong growth and has earned us various awards as well as enthusiastic client reviews. As a result, every year since 2023, our firm has been honored with a place on the Inc. 5000 list, which celebrates the fastest-growing companies in the United States.
