Associate Attorney - Personal Injury
Full-time
Joe Cunningham Law
About Us
Joe Cunningham Law is a fast-growing personal injury firm in Charleston. We're a small, hard-working team, and we're looking for an early-career attorney who wants to help build something, not just fill a seat. You'll work directly with firm leadership, have a voice in firm policies, and take real ownership of clients and cases from day one.
The Role
You'll manage personal injury cases from intake through resolution, working closely with our attorneys and case management team. Prior PI experience is a plus but not required. We'll train the right person.
What You'll Do
- Manage a caseload of personal injury matters from initial evaluation through settlement or litigation
- Keep clients informed and help them understand their options and case status
- Evaluate liability, damages, insurance coverage, and evidence, including medical records, bills, wage-loss documentation, photos, and police reports
- Research and apply South Carolina law to case-specific issues
- Draft demand letters, pleadings, motions, discovery, correspondence, and settlement documents
- Negotiate settlements with insurance companies and defense counsel
- Support trial preparation, and take the lead on depositions, mediations, and hearings as your experience grows
- Manage cases in Filevine and new leads in LeadDocket
- Help improve our processes as the firm scales
What You Bring
- J.D. from an accredited law school
- Licensed in South Carolina, or eligible for SC admission
- 1–5 years of legal experience
- Strong research, writing, analytical, and communication skills
- Excellent organization and attention to detail, with the ability to juggle multiple cases and deadlines
- Comfort communicating with clients, opposing counsel, and insurance adjusters
- Eagerness to learn and take on increasing responsibility in a fast-paced environment
Nice to Have
- Personal injury experience
- Westlaw or LexisNexis proficiency
- Experience with Filevine, LeadDocket, or similar systems (training provided)
What We Offer
- Competitive salary based on experience, plus commission
- Paid time off
- Hands-on personal injury litigation experience
- Direct mentorship from firm leadership
- Training and support for early-career attorneys
- Real room to grow as the firm expands
Who We're Looking For
- Someone smart, hungry, dependable, and willing to work hard, who cares deeply about injured clients and wants to grow with us. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you.
