Estate Litigation Associate Attorney

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.

Maximise your chances of a successful application to this job by ensuring your CV and skills are a good match.

We are looking for a full-time, Virginia-licensed attorney who would enjoy the opportunity to interact with clients daily, to design and execute strategies for their cases, and to have significant independence in handling their caseload while at the same time having a strong support system from an excellent team of attorneys.

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.

This position will focus on assisting our growing estate litigation team. 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.

Our firm maintains reasonable expectations in order 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 stable, reliable, and growing 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.

In 2022, 2023, and 2024 we earned the prestigious Great Place to Work certification, with an average of 99% of our employees over those three 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.

Additional qualifications include :

• Excellent communication skills and ability to genuinely connect with clients and potential clients.
• Excellent organizational skills and ability to closely follow established policies and procedures.
• Experience in fiduciary or estate litigation is a plus, but not required.
• Experience in administration of trusts and estates is a plus, but not required.
• DC and / or Maryland licenses are a plus, but not required.

Compensation includes a base salary and productivity bonuses which together would be in the range of $120,000-$150,000+, depending on experience.

Additional benefits include :

• Work-from-home Mondays
• Origination bonuses
• Health / dental / vision insurance
