Litigation Paralegal

Read this entire post before applying. We mean it.

Who we are

Our client is a personal injury firm in Huntsville Alabama. They represent people at the worst moment of their lives and their stated goal is simple: to offer the best customer service of any personal injury law firm in the country. That isnt a wall poster. Its the standard every member of the team is measured against.

Our client is a faith-led firm. The founder is a Christian and the culture reflects that. They pray for clients the team and each other. They do hard excellent work because they believe the people they serve deserve it and because they believe theyre called to it. Youre not required to be a Christian to work here but you should be comfortable working alongside people who openly try to live out their faith in how they treat clients opposing counsel and each other. If that doesnt sound like the right fit this isnt the right firm for you and thats okay.

The role

You will be a paralegal on the litigation team. Youll own roughly 40-60 active litigation files as primary staff.

You will:

• Draft complaints propound and respond to written discovery and prepare deposition outlines and packets
• Schedule and coordinate depositions mediations and hearings
• Mentor legal assistants and direct virtual assistants
• Keep every file current in Filevine: phases tasks notes deadlines because if it isnt in Filevine it didnt happen
• Be the first line of escalation before the partners

Our client is not a settlement mill. They prepare every case as though trial is set 180 days from today. That mindset has to drive yours.

Who theyre looking for

Experienced. Five-plus years as a personal injury litigation paralegal. Youve drafted complaints from scratch. Youve run written discovery start to finish. You can read a court rule and apply it without being walked through it.

A career paralegal. Youve chosen this profession and youre proud of the craft. You want to be the paralegal the attorneys actually trust to get it right.

Thick-skinned. Clients will be hurting and sometimes take it out on you. Supervising attorneys will tell you directly when something isnt right and they wont sugar-coat it. If feedback feels like an attack this role will eat you alive. If feedback feels like fuel keep reading.

Ownership-minded. If a case is sitting you move it. If a deadline is coming youve already filed. If something falls through a crack you fix it and learn from it. You dont pass it down the line.

Hungry to be part of something bigger. Our client is building an AI-native law firm. Technology is going to take the busywork off your plate so you can focus on the work that actually moves cases. That requires curiosity and a willingness to learn new tools not someone who wants to do it the same way they did it in 2015. They are also building something they believe will set a new bar for what personal injury representation looks like in the Southeast. They want teammates who are fired up about that not just looking for a paycheck.

Rooted. You take faith and family seriously and you want to work in a place where those are honored not hidden.

What you get

• The chance to help build the only openly Christian personal injury law firm in Alabama
• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
• Quarterly bonus potential tied to case outcomes and team performance that will take your compensation well above market rate
• A team that genuinely cares about each other and about doing the work the right way

Compensation: $70000 to $120000
