Job description

Associate Attorney, Personal Injury (New Mexico, Remote/Hybrid)

Hudson Injury Law

About us

Hudson Injury Law is a growing New Mexico personal injury firm built on putting the personal back in personal injury. We represent people on the worst days of their lives, from car and trucking crashes to dog bites, premises injuries, and civil rights cases. We fight to get them every dollar they’re owed.

We’re not a billboard firm. We’re a small, fast-moving team that plays offense. We set depositions, push cases forward, and don’t wait for insurance companies to come around. We use technology and AI to move cases faster than traditional firms, and we never lose the human side: clients hear from us at least monthly, and they talk to an attorney, not just staff.

The firm was founded in 2025 and has grown quickly. Our founder was recently voted Best Personal Injury Attorney in the Albuquerque Journal’s Best of readers’ poll, and we’re adding an attorney to keep up with demand.

The role

You’ll take the lead on a caseload of personal injury matters from intake through resolution, working closely with me on strategy and with our case management and paralegal team. You will:

• Build cases and push them forward: investigation, records, demands, and negotiation with adjusters and defense counsel.
• Draft complaints, motions, discovery, and correspondence.
• Take and defend depositions, attend mediations, and argue hearings.
• Counsel clients clearly and compassionately about their options, risks, and likely outcomes.
• Help build the firm: meet people, build relationships, and bring in cases if you want to.

Where you’ll work

You must live in New Mexico. The work is mostly remote, with in-person time for depositions, hearings, client meetings, and occasional networking in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe area. The firm provides a laptop and two monitors. there will be some travel to Santa Fe, dependent on location.

What we offer

• Salary: $100,000 to $130,000, depending on experience.
• Bonus potential, including a generous origination bonus on cases you bring in.
• Benefits: health insurance and a 401(k).
• Paid holiday closure between Christmas and New Year’s.
• Real mentorship. You’ll work side by side with me on cases, and we’ll send you to plaintiff trial training such as Trial Lawyers University.
• Modern tools, including AI and demand-writing software, so you spend your time on the work that matters.

What we’re looking for

• A JD and an active New Mexico license, or eligibility for prompt admission.
• At least one to two years of practice as a licensed attorney, ideally in litigation. Personal injury experience is a plus, but strong litigators from other practice areas are encouraged to apply.
• Strong writing and oral advocacy, and you’re comfortable on your feet.
• Organization and follow-through across many cases and deadlines.
• Genuine compassion for clients, and the backbone to fight for them.
• Willingness to use AI to work smarter and faster.

If you want to do meaningful work, learn quickly, and help build something, we’d like to hear from you.
