Location: Nebraska or Iowa preferred | Remote possible (licensed in NE or IA)

Compensation: Market-leading base salary with uncapped performance incentives. 

Reports to: Head of Personal Injury Practice

Type: Full-time | Growth Role | High-Impact Legal Practice

Sector: Plaintiff-Side Civil Litigation / Personal Injury

About the Firm
This is a high-growth legal team committed to advocating for individuals whose lives have been disrupted by serious accidents and negligence. With 400% revenue growth in the last three years, the Personal Injury team is expanding—and this role is a direct result of that success. Attorneys here don’t just handle cases—they help build systems, define team culture, and shape the future of a fast-rising litigation group.

The Opportunity
Join a close-knit, collaborative personal injury team known for its camaraderie, strong mentorship, and deep commitment to both client service and work-life balance. This is a newly created role for a confident, emotionally intelligent attorney who can independently manage a significant plaintiff-side case load, build trust with injured clients, and execute litigation strategy with minimal hand-holding.

What You’ll Do
Case Management & Litigation

• Own a personal docket of 80–100 files, primarily in pre-litigation

• Handle motor vehicle collisions, dog bites, premises liability, and occasional medical malpractice

• Draft and negotiate demand letters and settlement packages

• File and litigate cases as needed: pleadings, discovery, depositions, mediations, trial prep

• Maintain regular client communication by phone, email, and text

• Coordinate with paralegal and legal assistant support staff

Client Communication & Strategy

• Provide high-empathy counsel to individuals in crisis

• Explain legal processes clearly across all educational levels

• Deliver honest, tactful guidance about case value and strategy

• Build rapport with opposing counsel and insurance reps

Performance Expectations

• Meet firm metrics for demand packages, case progression, and client outcomes

• Independently manage files without constant supervision

• Adopt and implement the practice group’s standardized systems

• Contribute to a culture of collaboration and shared problem-solving

You’d Be a Great Fit If You Have:

• 5+ years of legal practice experience (civil litigation or insurance defense acceptable)

• Active license in Nebraska or Iowa (required)

• Experience with plaintiff-side PI is a plus, but not required

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• High emotional intelligence and client-facing maturity

• Ability to balance empathy with assertiveness

• Stability in prior roles (no frequent job-hopping)

• Clear, confident courtroom and negotiation presence

Why Join Us

• Be part of a high-growth PI team with proven 400% revenue growth

• Enjoy a culture that genuinely values work-life balance and professional development

• Collaborate closely with a supportive, down-to-earth leader who values transparency, mentorship, and process excellence

• Work in a team that helps clients through some of life’s most difficult moments—and finds purpose in the work
