Associate Attorney

Trade your timesheet for a courtroom. If you went to law school to try cases and fight for people, not to bill hours in six-minute increments, keep reading. Petroff Amshen LLP is a Brooklyn consumer protection and foreclosure defense firm, and we are looking for a litigation associate who wants real cases, real courtroom time, and real impact from the start. We represent homeowners and consumers against the largest lenders, servicers, debt collectors, and credit reporting agencies in the country under the FCRA, FDCPA, TILA, RESPA, and New York foreclosure law. Our attorneys have won appellate reversals against major national lenders, including multi-million dollar damages and punitive damages awards, and we litigate every stage of a case, from the answer through trial and appeal. When we win, a family keeps their home. That is the work. Why this role is different No billable-hour requirement. You are measured on your advocacy and your results, not the hours you log. Real courtroom experience, fast. You will argue motions, appear for conferences, and stand up in state and federal court regularly, not once a year. Depositions. Taking and defending depositions is a core part of the job, not something you wait years to touch. Own your cases. You manage your own docket with partner support, making the strategic calls instead of just drafting someone else's. A team that wins. You will learn from attorneys with a track record of appellate victories against national lenders, on a close-knit team that treats your growth as its own. What you will do Handle consumer protection and foreclosure defense matters from intake through resolution. Draft and argue motions, conduct discovery, take and defend depositions, prepare cases for trial, and appear in New York state courts and the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York, with some matters in the District of New Jersey. Work directly with clients whose homes and financial security are on the line. What we are looking for Admitted to practice in New York (required). New Jersey admission is a plus. At least 2 years of litigation experience, in any practice area. Foreclosure, consumer, or legal-services experience is welcome but not required. Strong legal writing, sharp oral advocacy, and the judgment to run a case. A real interest in consumer rights and standing up for ordinary people against well-funded opponents. Compensation and logistics Base salary: $110,000 to $140,000. Placement within the range is based on years of litigation experience and depth of motion, deposition, and trial experience. Schedule: Full-time, in-office at our Brooklyn office. How to apply Send your resume and a brief cover letter to jobs@petroffamshen.com Tell us about a case or argument you are proud of. We may hire more than one attorney from this posting.
