Personal Injury Attorney

Job Description

Job Description

You know what it's like to be the last one in the office. To chase invoices between client calls. To handle payroll, billing, solve computer problems, and do business development — and somehow still find time to do the work you actually love.

Maybe you ran your own firm. Maybe you went out on your own because you wanted freedom and autonomy. And you got it — along with everything that came with it.

Have the headaches started to outweigh the highs? The cash flow stress. The administrative grind. The isolation of building something alone.

Do you miss being part of a team? Do you miss focusing on the craft without the weight of keeping the lights on?

You may be exactly who we're looking for.

We want the experienced professional who's done it all — and now wants to bring that hard-won expertise somewhere it can truly thrive. A place where you are supported by Paralegals and/or Case Managers, the infrastructure is handled, the clients are assigned, and your energy goes into the work that made you choose this profession in the first place.  

Income Opportunity

• Base salary $75,000 - $85,000
• Performance bonus payable monthly

Tell Us about YOU

If you are an experienced Personal Injury Attorney who wants to fight fiercely for injured clients while being part of a firm that prioritizes compassion, teamwork, and work-life balance, we would love to meet you

$75,000 - $85,000

• Manage your own caseload of personal injury matters
• Provide leadership for your team (Paralegal, Case Manager, or understudy Attorney)
• Conduct pre-scheduled client calls, statements, EUOs, and depositions
• Draft demand packages on pre-litigation matters and manage settlement negotiations
• Litigate cases where a negotiated settlement is not adequate for the victim’s circumstances

Who We’re Looking For

We hire for personality, character, and empathy as much as for skills. If you are passionate about helping people in crisis and can balance compassion with strong legal advocacy, this could be the perfect fit.

• Active Kentucky Bar membership
• 5+ years of personal injury experience (some flexibility based on experience)
• Strong organizational and time-management skills with the ability to handle multiple cases
• Comfortable using modern digital tools like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace to work efficiently and stay organized—while remaining open to new technologies that make the job easier and more effective.

What We Value

• Integrity, humility, and a team-first mindset
• A transparent and open communicator with excellent listening skills
• Strong desire to grow personally and professionally
• Commitment to treat clients with dignity, patience, and respect — especially in high-stress situations

(Skills and experience are important, but personality, intelligence, and compassion are paramount. High-maintenance, humorless, or self-entitled individuals will not succeed here.)

At Emery Law, we represent people during some of the hardest moments of their lives. They aren’t just cases; they are individuals and families who need a strong voice, clear guidance, and a legal team that genuinely cares about what they’re going through.

That’s why we do things differently.

Our firm is led by a woman who built this practice on the belief that excellent legal work and a healthy, supportive workplace are not mutually exclusive. We value empathy as much as expertise, collaboration over ego, and sustainable careers over burnout. We believe the best advocates for clients are lawyers who are supported by a team that respects their time, their families, and their humanity.

Benefits

• Health insurance
• SIMPLE IRA retirement plan with company match (vests immediately)
• Two weeks PTO plus paid holidays
• Unlimited unpaid time off (as long as KPIs are met)
• Weekly pay, performance bonus payable monthly
• Access to on-site and off-site training opportunities to develop new skills
