We are a premier plaintiff-side law firm in San Diego, California, dedicated to pursuing justice for consumers and employees across the state. For over a decade, we've secured multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements in class actions, employment disputes, and tenant rights cases. Our focused team combines aggressive litigation with a deep commitment to client advocacy, handling high-impact matters in civil litigation, real estate disputes, and consumer protection.

Real Impact from Day One — Hands-on experience in all phases of litigation: drafting pleadings, discovery, motions, depositions, and trial prep. You'll contribute to big cases fighting for everyday tenants.

Mentorship & Growth — Work closely with Super Lawyers-recognized partners in a supportive, collaborative environment where your ideas matter and responsibilities grow quickly.

Winning Culture — Join a driven, high-energy team that celebrates victories (big settlements included!) while maintaining work-life balance—no endless big-law grind.

Prime Location Perks — Downtown San Diego office with onsite parking, vibrant surroundings, and a firm that values personality fit as much as skills.

Mission-Driven — Help real people recover what they're owed, with a proven track record of holding bad actors accountable.

We seek a motivated Junior Associate Attorney with 1-3 years of experience (any litigation background welcome—no tenant law required) to join our tenant rights practice. You'll focus on cases involving unlawful retention of security deposits, unsubstantiated deductions, excessive late fees, and related landlord violations under California law. This includes individual and class action matters.

• Manage a caseload from intake through resolution: client interviews, demand letters, pleadings, discovery, motions, settlements, and trials.
• Conduct legal research, draft briefs/motions, and prepare for depositions/hearings.
• Collaborate on strategy for high-stakes class actions.
• Build client relationships with empathy and clear communication.

• Active California Bar membership.
• 1-3 years of civil litigation experience (plaintiff-side a plus, but not required).
• Strong work ethic, initiative, and "go-getter" attitude—self-starter who thrives on responsibility.
• Outstanding personality:
  Positive, team-oriented, high-energy, and resilient under pressure.
• Excellent writing, research, and oral advocacy skills.
• Passion for consumer/tenant advocacy a huge bonus.

We prioritize cultural fit—personality and drive are key! Training provided on tenant-specific law. Apply today for a confidential conversation. We can't wait to meet our next all-star.
