Job description
Are you a litigation attorney who wants your compensation tied to your results, not internal politics?
Do you want serious auto negligence work, steady case flow, and the opportunity to grow inside a structured, respected firm where you can focus on litigation instead of marketing, self promotion, or client acquisition?
The Law Offices of Joumana Kayrouz is seeking a Litigation Attorney / Trial Attorney to handle plaintiff-side auto negligence matters in Michigan. This role is built for attorneys who are self directed, motivated by results, capable of exercising sound legal judgment, and ready to take ownership of meaningful litigation work.

The firm provides substantial case flow, strong operational infrastructure, and leadership support so attorneys can focus on moving cases forward, advocating for clients, and producing strong results.
There is no artificial ceiling on compensation. High-performing attorneys have the opportunity to earn at the top of the market, and senior attorneys at the firm earn in the seven-figure range.
