WANTED: A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY READY TO OWN A CASELOAD AND EARN WITHOUT A CEILING

On-plan total compensation: $155,000 to $250,000+, with no ceiling.

If you want a quiet caseload, a title handed to you by seniority, or a firm that tolerates mediocre work, stop reading now. You would be unhappy here, and you would make us unhappy too.

If you are a plaintiff's attorney with real ambition, the work ethic to back it up, and the confidence to own your cases, this is the firm you have been looking for.

Right Path Law Group is a Northern Virginia personal injury and criminal defense firm fighting for our community across the DMV. Here is the thing that actually decides how much you earn and how good your days are, and it is the thing most firms our size only talk about: we have built the back-end infrastructure to do this right. Dedicated litigation paralegals, pre-litigation paralegals, case managers, legal assistants, and medical records specialists. From your first day, you get a dedicated support pod of your own, four or more people, not shared and not theoretical. That team is the reason our attorneys spend their hours doing what they trained to do, which is move cases, negotiate hard, and try the ones that need trying.

What that means for you, in plain terms: you will not sit idle waiting for work. We carry more than 600 active personal injury cases, and our intake keeps the pipeline full. Our attorneys settle in the range of 25 to 30 cases a quarter, and our goal for every attorney is 45. You resolve cases well. The team carries everything else.

The pay is built to reward exactly that. A strong base, quarterly performance commissions on the fees you collect, and, on top of all of it, a 25% origination fee on any case you bring in and resolve yourself. The harder and smarter you work, the more you take home. The ceiling is one we do not set.

THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE ROLE FOR YOU IF:

• Your first question in an interview is about remote flexibility or PTO
• You think 40 cases is high volume
• You want a quiet, predictable practice where little is asked of you
• You would misrepresent your experience or your trial record. We verify everything.
• You expect a partnership conversation before you have proven anything

If you read that list and felt more interested rather than less, we should talk.

Our Mission: transform 25,000 lives.

Our Values: Resilience. Integrity. Service. Excellence. (R.I.S.E.)

Compensation

• Base salary of $125,000+ per year
• Quarterly performance commissions on firm personal injury fees collected, with meaningful upside as your production grows
• A 25% origination fee on cases you personally bring in and resolve, calculated separately
• On-plan total compensation of $155,000 to $250,000+, with room beyond that for top producers. We do not set a ceiling.
• 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental insurance (employee coverage)
• 401(k) with a 4% employer match after one year of continuous employment
• Three weeks of paid time off, plus firm holidays
• Mileage reimbursement and pre-approved CLE reimbursement
• A dedicated support team from day one. Not shared. Not theoretical.
