Pre-Litigation Attorney at The Wilhite Law Firm

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, rapidly expanding Dallas firm with offices in Texas and Colorado, led by a seasoned trial lawyer who built his reputation the hard way – 65+ trials, one verdict at a time. Rob Wilhite, a Dallas native, founded this firm with a focus on aggressive, results-driven representation. Now, he’s building the next era of personal injury law in Texas, aiming to be the go-to firm for injured Texans. We’re smart, professional, tech-forward, and trial-focused – a brand and team you can be proud to be part of.

This position is laser-focused on pre-litigation, with primary responsibility for driving cases from intake through settlement.

If you thrive under pressure, hold yourself to the highest standards, and are ready to align with a firm that gives you the tools, talent, and support to dominate your caseload—this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
