First Chair Trial Lawyer

Build the Future of Trial Law in Dallas with a National Injury Firm!

This isn’t just another trial attorney position. We’re looking for a true courtroom advocate, not just a desk lawyer. 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.

We’ve got a pipeline full of high-value litigation cases. We’re looking for fearless, empathetic trial lawyers who want to build our Texas trial reputation from the ground up. 

You Might Be a Fit If You Are:

• Trial hungry. You have first- or second-chaired multiple jury trials—and want more trial-worth cases. Some messy, but all are worth fighting for
• Value driven. You’re done settling junk files and ready to chase real value in court
• Autonomous, not arrogant. You want a firm that respects your time, pays well, and lets you lead
• Calm under pressure. You think clearly under pressure and keep it cool when the heat’s on–no jerks allowed, ever
• Student of the game. You’ve got courtroom presence, strategic thinking, study the best trial lawyers, and read TrialGuides books and other materials to master your craft
• Growth mentality. You’re unfazed by adversity and have the work ethic to make order out of chaos. 

What You’ll Do:

• Own and work up litigation docket for trial, not just to settle at mediation at a discount
• Tell the client’s story, take depositions, argue motions, pick juries, and close cases
• Work with a tight, tech-enabled operations team that handles intake, pre-lit, and support roles
• Collaborate with leadership as we expand throughout DFW and beyond
• Help shape the firm’s future

What We Offer:

• A national brand on the rise with serious investment – radio, billboards, digital all rolling
• Cases lined up and ready for court backed by a powerful pre-litigation practice group
• Competitive compensation structure with real upside
• Ground-floor growth potential in DFW and new markets
• A calm, focused, no-BS firm culture led by real trial lawyers

Requirements:

· Licensed to practice law in Texas and in good standing

· Minimum of 5 years of experience handling auto accident personal injury cases (will consider 3-4 years for the right candidate)

· Proven ability to manage a full caseload of auto-related PI cases with minimal supervision

· Strong litigation experience, including depositions, motions practice, and courtroom advocacy are a plus but not the focus

· Excellent negotiation skills

· Highly organized with strong case management abilities

· Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and meet deadlines

Why Join The Wilhite Law Firm?

· Work with top-tier team of PI attorneys

· Competitive salary

· Comprehensive benefits package

· Opportunity to make a real impact in clients’ lives

· Collaborative, high-energy work environment
