Are you ready to build a long-term career with a firm that prioritizes quality legal representation and client care? Final question: When faced with a challenge, do you get excited or run away? At Hawk Injury Law, we believe exceptional legal representation starts with putting people first. Based in Macon and serving clients throughout Georgia, we stand alongside individuals and families during some of life's most difficult moments, providing the guidance, support, and strong advocacy they need to move forward. Led by attorney Jon Hawk, the firm brings 29 years of experience to personal injury and wrongful death matters, including car and truck accidents, product liability, and serious injuries.

As a Litigation Attorney, you will play a key role in supporting the firm's personal injury practice through legal research, writing, discovery, case strategy, and litigation. Depending on your experience and strengths, the role may include increasing responsibility for depositions, courtroom proceedings, and trials. You will work closely with the firm's lead attorney, receiving hands‑on mentorship while taking on greater responsibility and autonomy as you develop within the firm.

Research & Motion Practice: Take an active role in legal research, discovery, and motion practice, including drafting briefs and motions, supporting depositions, and building well‑prepared cases. Client Communication: Build trusted relationships with clients through clear, compassionate communication, keeping them informed, managing expectations, and providing thoughtful guidance throughout the legal process. Trial Preparation & Participation: Prepare cases for trial and actively participate in trial proceedings, taking on increasing responsibility from supporting and second‑chair roles toward first‑chair responsibilities over time. Team & Firm Collaboration: Contribute as an engaged member of a close‑knit team, supporting colleagues and broader firm initiatives including marketing, educational content, community involvement, and firm development. What we’re looking for: Legal Experience: Juris Doctor required, with Georgia Bar admission preferred. Candidates awaiting admission may also be considered, with approximately 2–10 years of litigation experience preferred.

Litigation Skills: Brings experience or demonstrated aptitude in discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial preparation, with a willingness to continue developing across these areas. Client Service: Communicates with professionalism, clarity, and compassion while maintaining the high standards of service expected throughout the client relationship. Teamwork & Coachability: Works collaboratively, welcomes hands‑on mentorship and constructive feedback, and is willing to learn and adopt the firm’s established processes. Ownership & Judgment: Brings strong judgment, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to the work, taking accountability for quality and demonstrating increasing ownership as responsibilities grow.

Close-Knit Environment : Join a collaborative, team‑oriented firm where communication, mutual respect, and high-quality work matter, and where you can build a career as an integral part of the team rather than simply filling another associate seat. Health & Wellness Benefits: Support your health and well‑being with a benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, and life insurance. Retirement Benefits: Invest in your long‑term financial future with a firm‑supported 401(k) retirement plan.
