Job Description

About Our Firm
Since 1996, the Law Office of Shane R. Kadlec has represented injured Texans in Houston and surrounding areas. We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including car wrecks, trucking accidents, general personal injury, medical malpractice, dental malpractice, and more.

We pride ourselves on having a supportive and positive work environment. We invest heavily in our people and are selective about who joins the team. If you’re tired of office politics and drama, you’ll find this refreshing. Do your job well, respect your coworkers, fight passionately for clients, and we’ll equip you with everything you need to succeed. Ideally, your career here will be measured in decades, not years.

The Opportunity
We are seeking a trial lawyer—or a future trial lawyer—ready to work directly on cases from day one. You’ll collaborate with attorneys, meet with clients, take depositions, and prepare for trial. Prove yourself, and you’ll quickly manage your own docket. Most importantly, you must care about your clients and fight for every dollar they deserve.

Key Responsibilities

  • Work closely with attorneys to implement case strategies
  • Conduct case workups including client interviews and evidence collection
  • Draft pleadings, motions, and discovery
  • Take and defend depositions; negotiate settlements
  • Prepare cases for mediation, arbitration, and trial
  • Maintain regular client communication

Requirements

  • JD from an accredited law school
  • Licensed and in good standing with the State Bar of Texas
  • 2–3+ years of legal experience (personal injury or civil litigation preferred)
  • Trial experience highly valued (but not required)
  • Strong research, writing, and communication skills
  • Passion for client advocacy and a desire to grow as a trial lawyer
  • Bilingual in Spanish is a plus, but not required
  • Strong technological aptitude and adaptability, including comfort with AI tools

What We’re Looking For

  • Organized, detail-oriented, and execution-focused
  • Self-directed but collaborative
  • Strong follow-through and ability to translate big-picture strategies into action
  • Enthusiastic about personal injury law and client service. 

Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience, with future bonus potential
  • 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life insurance and generous 401(k) employer contributions
  • Bar dues, CLEs, and personal injury/trial workshops covered
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Manageable 40-hour work week (trial prep and trial excluded)
  • Experienced attorneys available for mentorship and training
  • Collaborative, supportive work environment
  • Office closes at 2:30 p.m. on Fridays
  • Business casual dress code

Application Instructions

  • Resume: No transcripts or GPA needed.
  • Cover Letter: Tell us why you’re the right candidate. If you don’t currently practice personal injury, explain why you want to. If you’re switching from defense, share why.
  • 2-3 professional references.

This position will remain open until the right candidate is found.

The Law Office of Shane R. Kadlec is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating an inclusive workplace.
