About the company
TORKLAW is more than a highly regarded personal injury firm - it’s a place for attorneys who want meaningful responsibility, hands-on litigation experience, and the opportunity to make a real impact for seriously injured clients. If you are driven by substantive litigation work, strategic advocacy, and delivering exceptional results, this is an opportunity to elevate your practice alongside a collaborative and trial-focused team.
Our litigation attorneys are hands-on, strategic, and relentless in pursuing the best possible outcomes for clients. From depositions through trial, you’ll take ownership of your cases, refine litigation strategy as matters evolve, and play a key role in delivering impactful results.
WHY TORKLAW?
We are a collaborative, supportive, and growth-driven team committed to delivering exceptional results for clients while helping our employees thrive professionally and personally.

•
Take depositions of defendants, treating physicians, and retained experts
•
Defend depositions of plaintiffs and prepare clients thoroughly for their testimony
•
Prepare lay witnesses, treating providers, and experts for deposition and trial

Review and analyze medical records, imaging, and provider reports; identify mechanism of injury and causation issues
•
Develop case strategy in collaboration with the senior litigation attorney and execute on it independently
