Personal Injury Litigation Attorney at Confidential in Kennesaw, GA

Personal Injury Litigation Attorney

Georgia | Full-Time | Salary + Performance-Based Compensation

About Us

We are seeking an experienced Personal Injury Litigation Attorney to join our growing law firm. We are not your typical small law firm. We are an entrepreneurial, growth-oriented firm focused on providing outstanding representation to individuals who have been injured due to the negligence of others.

We are looking for an attorney who can hit the ground running, take ownership of cases, and deliver exceptional results for our clients. The ideal candidate has a strong background in civil litigation, preferably plaintiff-side personal injury, and is comfortable handling cases from the filing of a lawsuit through trial.

We are particularly interested in attorneys with actual trial experience. We don't just want someone who knows how to prepare a case for trial; we want someone who understands what it takes to try one.

The Position

We are looking for a team player who is willing to take ownership of a client's case and see it through. This includes direct communication with clients and opposing counsel, developing litigation strategy, drafting pleadings and motions, conducting discovery, taking and defending depositions, working with expert witnesses, handling pretrial hearings, and trying cases.

Yes, trials.

You should have strong skills in the following areas:

• Legal research and writing.
• Courtroom presentation and oral advocacy.
• Deposition preparation and examination.
• Litigation strategy and case management.
• Client communication and relationship management.
• Working with expert witnesses and developing case evidence.
• Negotiation and settlement evaluation.
• Familiarity with common legal technology and case management software.

Experience handling automobile accidents, trucking accidents, premises liability, and other personal injury matters is preferred. Experience with complex litigation, insurance coverage, and significant injury cases is also valued.

What We Are Looking For

We need a grinder who wants to build a career as a trial lawyer. You should be motivated, proactive, organized, and capable of independently managing your caseload while working collaboratively with the rest of the team.

Skills and experience are appreciated, valued, and certainly considered. However, your personality, character, intelligence, work ethic, and integrity are equally important. We value attorneys who are willing to roll up their sleeves and do what needs to be done.

Travel Requirements

We practice throughout the State of Georgia, so travel is a requirement. You will have opportunities to appear in courts throughout the state and experience all the cities and hubs that our lovely Peach State has to offer.

Qualifications

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.
• Must be licensed and in good standing with the State Bar of Georgia.
• Prior civil litigation experience required.
• Plaintiff-side personal injury experience strongly preferred.
• Meaningful jury trial experience strongly preferred.
• Experience taking and defending depositions.
• Experience working with expert witnesses.
• Strong legal writing, research, and courtroom advocacy skills.
• Excellent communication and organizational abilities.
• Ability to independently manage cases, deadlines, and client relationships.
• Willingness to travel throughout Georgia.

Additional state bar admissions are a plus.

Compensation

• Base salary will commensurate with experience.
• Competitive base salary with additional performance-based compensation opportunities, providing attorneys the ability to increase their earnings based on their contributions to successful case resolutions.
• Opportunities for professional development and continued trial experience.

The Opportunity

If you are looking for a career as a trial lawyer, want to take ownership of your cases, and are excited about being part of a growing law firm, this may be the opportunity you have been looking for.

We are looking for someone who wants to grow with the firm, contribute to its success, and become a strong advocate for our clients.

We look forward to reviewing your application.
