Salary expectations aligned with Long Island market ($150K, $195K base), not Manhattan pay scales
Long-term mindset, no job hoppers; looking for someone who wants to build a career here

What will you be doing?

Managing a full caseload of construction litigation and NY Labor Law cases from inception through resolution
Conducting and defending depositions as core daily work
Trying cases and representing clients in court, mediations, and settlement conferences
