Do you want to make a real impact on the lives of injured workers while building a career with purpose, mentorship, and growth?
Franco Muñoz Law Firm is seeking a Workers’ Compensation Applicant Attorney to join our dynamic and mission-driven team in Oakland. This is a unique opportunity to represent injured workers—not insurance companies or corporations—and to stand up for those whose livelihoods depend on your advocacy.
About Us Founded in 2018, Franco Muñoz has earned recognition throughout the Bay Area for its thoughtful and effective representation of injured workers. Our firm emphasizes collaboration, professionalism, and respect—values that extend to our clients and to all participants in the workers’ compensation system. We are proud to advocate for injured employees while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and courtesy in every case.
Our attorneys handle cases ranging from serious workplace injuries to complex 100% permanent disability and death benefit claims. At Franco Muñoz, you’ll gain hands‑on trial experience, work closely with leadership, and be part of a supportive environment that prizes excellence and empathy in equal measure.
What You’ll Do
Manage your own caseload of applicant‑side workers’ compensation cases from intake through resolution.
Conduct depositions, hearings, trials, and appeals before the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB).
Develop case strategies, draft pleadings, and drive litigation outcomes that maximize recovery for your clients.
Build strong, compassionate relationships with clients—many of whom are navigating difficult recoveries and uncertain futures.
Collaborate with a skilled team of attorneys and legal professionals who share your passion for advocacy and justice.
What We’re Looking For
Active California Bar license in good standing.
Minimum 3 years of experience handling applicant or defense workers’ compensation cases.
Proven ability to independently manage a full caseload and deliver results.
Strong litigation skills, including depositions, hearings, and trials (minimum 3 trials resulting in Findings & Award).
Excellent written and oral advocacy, attention to detail, and client communication skills.
Spanish bilingual skills highly valued (but not required).
Must live within a reasonable commute to Oakland and have reliable transportation for local travel to WCAB offices and depositions.
Preferred Experience & Benefits
Handling catastrophic injury, total permanent disability, or death benefit cases.
Demonstrated ability to achieve high‑value settlements while maintaining empathy for clients.
Total compensation: $120,000–$200,000+ with generous performance‑based bonuses.
100% employer‑paid health, dental, and vision insurance.
401(k) with employer match.
Paid holidays and PTO.
Mission‑Driven Practice: We represent people, not corporations. Every case matters.
Professional Growth: Clear advancement paths and active mentorship from seasoned trial attorneys.
Collaborative Team Culture: We work hard, fight for our clients, and support each other’s success.
Impactful Work: Be part of a firm that changes lives every day—and builds a legacy of justice for injured workers.
