Meeks Impact Law is a boutique, community-focused personal injury firm based in Cumming, Georgia. We represent people and families affected by motor vehicle crashes, wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, nursing home negligence, dog attacks, defective products, and unsafe premises.

Our work starts with listening. Clients deserve clear answers, thoughtful advocacy, and a team that treats them as people, not case numbers.

We are seeking a full-time Associate Personal Injury Attorney who is newly licensed or in the first two years of practice and wants to build a career in personal injury law. Prior personal injury experience is welcome but not required.

You will take an active role in representing clients while developing your case management, negotiation, and litigation skills with guidance from experienced attorneys. Your responsibilities and independence will grow with your experience, preparation, and demonstrated ability.

This position is based in Cumming and follows a hybrid schedule after an initial orientation period.

What You’ll Do

• Manage assigned personal injury matters with attorney guidance and supervision appropriate to your experience.
• Review evidence, medical records, and insurance information to help evaluate liability and damages.
• Conduct legal research and draft correspondence, demands, pleadings, motions, and discovery.
• Prepare for and participate in depositions, negotiations, mediations, hearings, and trials, taking on greater responsibility as your skills develop.
• Communicate directly with clients, provide updates, and help explain the claims process.
• Collaborate with paralegals and support staff to keep cases organized and moving forward.
• Track deadlines, prepare thoroughly, and seek guidance when needed.
• Apply feedback and continue building your legal judgment and practical skills.

What You’ll Bring

• Active membership in good standing with the State Bar of Georgia. Newly licensed attorneys are encouraged to apply.
• A sincere interest in personal injury law and litigation.
• Strong research, writing, communication, and organizational skills.
• A willingness to ask questions, receive feedback, and take increasing ownership of your work.
• Sound judgment, attention to detail, and a commitment to thorough preparation.
• Comfort working in a paperless practice and learning new legal technology.
• Respect for the contributions of paralegals and support staff.
• An interest in serving clients and supporting the community.

Prior experience through a law school clinic, internship, clerkship, or legal practice is helpful but not required.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary: 60,000–80,000, depending on relevant experience.
• Production bonuses: 30% of attorney fees earned by the firm on cases you originate; 15% of attorney fees earned by the firm on firm-originated cases assigned to you.
• Retirement: Employer-sponsored 401(k) with company matching after one year of service.
• Insurance: 100% firm-paid health, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Health and fitness: $25 monthly allowance.
• Hybrid schedule: Three days in the office and two days remote after an initial 30-day orientation period of four days in the office and Fridays remote.
• Professional development: The firm pays for all CLE hours required by the State Bar of Georgia, as well as your Georgia Bar dues.
• Time off: 14 days of PTO, plus most recognized holidays.
• Community giving: A $1,000 annual firm donation to a nonprofit of your choice.

Our Culture

We value preparation, accountability, open communication, and respect for the people who make this work possible. For an early-career attorney, that means taking initiative, asking thoughtful questions, and learning from the attorneys, paralegals, and other professionals around you.

Giving back is part of how we operate. Our team regularly supports and volunteers with nonprofit organizations, and last year we donated 10% of our profits to organizations serving Georgia families and beyond. You’ll have the opportunity to build your career while helping people through some of the most challenging times of their lives in a positive, upbeat environment.
