Job description

Description
Personal Injury Attorney (VA + MD Licensed) - $155,000 to $250,000+ On-Plan Compensation
WANTED: A DUAL-LICENSED VA/MD PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY READY TO OWN A CASELOAD AND EARN WITHOUT A CEILING
On-plan total compensation: $155,000 to $250,000+, with no ceiling.
If you want a quiet caseload, a title handed to you by seniority, or a firm that tolerates mediocre work, stop reading now. You would be unhappy here, and you would make us unhappy too.
If you are a plaintiff's attorney with 3 to 5 years in the trenches, real ambition, the work ethic to back it up, and licenses in both Virginia and Maryland, this is the firm you have been looking for, and you are exactly who we built this role around.
Right Path Law Group is a Northern Virginia personal injury and criminal defense firm fighting for our community across the DMV. Clients do not stop at the state line, and neither do we. Your Maryland license is not a bonus here. It is the job. You will run cases on both sides of the Potomac from day one, and you will be one of the reasons a family in Silver Spring gets the same fight we give a family in Fairfax.
Here is the thing that actually decides how much you earn and how good your days are, and it is the thing most firms our size only talk about: we have built the back-end infrastructure to do this right.
Dedicated litigation paralegals, pre-litigation paralegals, case managers, legal assistants, and medical records specialists. From your first day, you get support from four or more people. That team is the reason our attorneys spend their hours doing what they trained to do, which is move cases, negotiate hard, and try the ones that need trying.
What that means for you, in plain terms: you will not sit idle waiting for work. We carry a large and growing personal injury docket, and our intake keeps the pipeline full. Our attorneys settle in the range of 30 to 40 cases a quarter, and our goal for every attorney is at least 45. You resolve cases well. The team carries everything else.
Why 3 to 5 years? Because that is the attorney this role is built for. You have done the work. You have taken depositions that mattered, argued motions that mattered, and stood up in a courtroom with a client's case on your shoulders. You do not need hand-holding, but you are still hungry, still climbing, and still years away from your peak. Most firms will make you wait for your turn. We will hand you a full caseload, a dedicated team, and a comp plan that pays you like a producer now.
The pay is built to reward exactly that. A strong base, quarterly performance commissions on the fees you collect, and, on top of all of it, an origination fee on any case you bring in and resolve yourself. The harder and smarter you work, the more you take home. The ceiling is one we do not set.
THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE ROLE FOR YOU IF:
  • You are licensed in Virginia only or Maryland only. This role requires both active and in good standing. No exceptions, no waivers-in-progress.
  • Your first question in an interview is about remote flexibility or PTO
  • You think 100 cases is high volume
  • You want a quiet, predictable practice where little is asked of you
  • You would misrepresent your experience or your trial record. We verify everything.
  • You expect a partnership conversation before you have proven anything
  • If you read that list and felt more interested rather than less, we should talk.

COMPENSATION
  • Base salary of $125,000 to $140,000 per year, set by experience and trial record
  • Quarterly performance commissions on firm personal injury fees collected, with meaningful upside as your production grows
  • A 25% origination fee on cases you personally bring in and resolve, calculated separately
  • On-plan total compensation of $155,000 to $250,000+, with room beyond that for top producers. We do not set a ceiling.
  • 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental insurance (employee coverage)
  • 401(k) with a 4% employer match after one year of continuous employment
  • Three weeks of paid time off, plus firm holidays
  • Mileage reimbursement and pre-approved CLE reimbursement
  • A dedicated support team from day one. Not shared. Not theoretical.

Our Mission: transform 25,000 lives.
Our Values: Resilience. Integrity. Service. Excellence. (R.I.S.E.)
Responsibilities
$47
Qualifications
• Active bar licenses in BOTH Virginia and Maryland, in good standing. This is a hard requirement.
• 3 to 5 years of litigation experience, with plaintiff-side personal injury experience strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to manage a high-volume caseload independently
• Real skill across negotiation, depositions, motions, and settlement
• Trial experience, at a minimum, bench trials in General District Court or Maryland District Court (jury trials are not required)
• Strong written and oral advocacy
• Proficiency with case management software
• A drive to build a long-term plaintiff PI career and to produce, not to coast
