Job Description

** This role can sit ANYWHERE in SOUTH CAROLINA! Must have an active SC Law License**


We're Poulin | Willey | Anastopoulo! We're serious about providing outstanding representation and results to our clients. We're seeking passionate and skilled trial attorneys who want to help the injured seek justice. If you're a natural in the courtroom, we want to hear from you. If you have stellar advocacy skills and a personality that drives you to excel and succeed, you're speaking our language. If you've been looking for a community of attorneys who will be in your corner helping you propel your legal career, welcome to the Firm.


We are seeking a seasoned Trial Attorney with a demonstrated track record in nursing home/elder-abuse/medical-neglect litigation. You will take full ownership of your caseload—from discovery through verdict—and collaborate closely with paralegals, experts, and partners to drive exceptional outcomes. Very little “back-end” or pre-litigation-only work: this role is built for courtroom warriors ready to lead trials.


What You'll Do:

  • Oversee all phases of litigation: drafting pleadings, propounding/responding to discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation
  • Develop case theory, coordinate experts (medical, economic, life-care planners), and craft persuasive trial presentations
  • Lead depositions, jury selection, opening/closing statements, and direct/cross examinations
  • Manage in-court logistics and team roles (paralegals, co-counsel, investigators)
  • Serve as primary counsel for nursing home negligence and elder-abuse clients; maintain regular client communication and expectation-setting
  • Provide compassionate guidance through complex medical and legal processes
  • Collaborate with partners on case strategies, settlement negotiations, and appeals
  • Mentor junior attorneys and paralegals; contribute to training materials and firm’s Litigation Academy
  • Participate in community outreach, and develop content (articles, seminars) on elder-neglect topics
  • Represent the firm at professional associations, bar committees, and continuing legal education events

What You Will Bring:

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school
  • Active membership in the South Carolina Bar (in good standing)
  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on trial experience in nursing home neglect, elder abuse, or related personal injury practice
  • Proven record of at-trial verdicts or high-value settlements (six- or seven-figure matters preferred)
  • Exceptional written and oral advocacy skills, with demonstrated excellence in motion practice and trial presentation
  • Ability to manage a full, trial-ready docket independently
