Personal Injury Attorney

Job Description

Job Description

WANTED: PI ATTORNEYS AT THREE LEVELS

Total Attainable Compensation: $135,000 to $336,000+, depending on tier and performance. No ceiling.

If you are looking for a quiet caseload, partnership awarded by seniority, or a firm where mediocre work is tolerated, this is not the place. You will be unhappy here, and you will make us unhappy too.

If you are an attorney with real ambition, the willingness to work hard, and the confidence to handle real cases, keep reading.

Right Path Law Group is a Northern Virginia personal injury and criminal defense firm. We have built back-end infrastructure that most firms our size do not have: dedicated litigation paralegals, pre-litigation paralegals, case managers, legal assistants, and medical records specialists. The support is real, not theoretical. That infrastructure means our attorneys spend their time doing what they were trained to do, which is to move cases, negotiate hard, and try cases when needed.

We are hiring at three levels. Read the qualifications carefully and apply for the one that fits.

TIER 1: SENIOR PI TRIAL ATTORNEY

Base Salary: $155,000+ (negotiable based on experience and trial record)

On-Plan Total Compensation: $250,000 to $336,000+

You qualify if you have:

• 5+ years of plaintiff PI litigation experience (plaintiff side specifically)
• 3+ first-chair jury trials taken to verdict in PI matters with verifiable outcomes
• Active bar in Maryland, DC, New York, or Florida, in addition to Virginia
• Demonstrated track record of high-value settlements and verdicts
• Bilingual Spanish/English preferred but not required

TIER 2: MID-LEVEL PI ATTORNEY

Base Salary: $130,000 to $145,000

On-Plan Total Compensation: $180,000 to $250,000

You qualify if you have:

• 3+ years of plaintiff PI experience, including active litigation
• Independent management of pre-litigation and litigated matters
• Experience with depositions, motions, and settlement negotiations
• Comfort handling a high-volume caseload
• Jury trial experience preferred but not strictly required

TIER 3: PI DEVELOPMENT TRACK ASSOCIATE

Base Salary: $105,000 to $125,000

On-Plan Total Compensation: $135,000 to $175,000

This track is designed for sharp attorneys with strong litigation foundations who want to build a plaintiff PI career under the direct mentorship of senior attorneys at our firm. With our back-end infrastructure, you will have the support to ramp faster than you ever could at a traditional firm.

You qualify if you have:

• 2+ years of litigation experience in any practice area (PI, insurance defense, prosecution, public defense, or civil litigation)
• Strong written and oral advocacy skills
• Active Virginia bar license
• A real desire to build a long-term PI litigation career, not just a paycheck
• Demonstrated work ethic and intellectual hunger

This is not a coasting role. The experience requirement is lower. The expectations are not. You will be expected to step in, ramp quickly, and produce. The difference between this tier and the others is the learning curve, not the work ethic.

COMPENSATION DETAILS (ALL TIERS)

• Tier-appropriate base salary
• Quarterly performance commissions on firm-wide PI fees collected, with upside potential
• Origination bonuses on cases you personally bring in
• 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental insurance (employee coverage)
• 3 weeks paid time off
• 401(k) with 4% employer match after 1 year of continuous employment
• A dedicated support team from day one. Not shared, not theoretical.

THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE ROLE FOR YOU IF...

• Your first question in any interview is about remote flexibility or PTO
• You define "high volume" as 40 cases, regardless of which tier you are applying for
• You want a quiet, predictable practice where nothing is asked of you
• You misrepresent your experience or trial record. We verify everything.
• You need a partnership conversation before you have demonstrated anything

COMPENSATION

$105,000 to $155,000+ yearly base, plus quarterly performance commissions and origination bonuses. Total on-plan compensation ranges from $135,000 to $336,000+, depending on tier and performance.
