  • Work closely with paralegals and legal assistants to maintain case momentum and exceptional client service.

Team Collaboration
  • Partner with attorneys and leadership across the firm to align pre-suit strategy with overall case objectives.
  • Coordinate with the litigation team to ensure continuity for cases proceeding to suit in Virginia and/or West Virginia courts.
  • Mentor junior legal staff as appropriate and contribute to a collaborative team environment.
  • Participate in professional networking and community events that support the firm's reputation and relationships.

  • Opportunity to make a meaningful impact for injury victims during a critical stage of their case.
  • Ongoing professional development and CLE support.
  • Collaborative team culture rooted in trust, integrity, and long-term success.
  • The opportunity to build a long-term career with a firm that has proudly served injury victims for more than 50 years.
