About this role
JOB SUMMARY
Every case starts with a question: what really happened? As a Litigation Attorney at Ramos Law, youll help answer it. Our medical malpractice and products liability cases are real-life puzzles—hidden in thousands of pages of medical records, product components, timelines, inspections, and witness accounts. Youll investigate claims from the ground up, work side by side with medical and technical experts, and litigate the cases you develop to hold manufacturers, hospitals, and providers accountable when they cause harm.
This role is designed for new and early-career attorneys looking for substantive opportunities to develop their practice and skills.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
Working collaboratively with your team, youll:
Investigate the facts - whether through medical records, maintenance records, policies, timelines, and witness accounts—to find out what really happened and why.
Evaluate new cases by assessing liability, causation, and damages, and develop case strategy from day one.
Draft complaints, motions, discovery requests and responses, subpoenas, and briefs—and get real opportunities to argue motions in court.
Prepare for, take, and defend depositions with guidance from experienced trial lawyers, building your skills quickly.
Work closely with medical and technical experts to understand complex issues and translate them into clear, compelling arguments.
Serve as a steady point of contact for clients during some of the hardest moments of their lives, keeping them informed and earning their trust.
Attend and argue at hearings, mediations, arbitrations, and trials, taking on a growing role in the courtroom as your skills develop.
