Job description

At Morgan & Morgan, the work we do matters for millions of Americans who rely on us as their last line of defense against insurance companies, large corporations or defective goods. From attorneys in all 50 states to client support staff, creative marketing and operations teams, every member of our firm has a key role to play in the winning fight for consumer rights. Our 6,000 employees are united by one mission: For the People.

Summary

Morgan & Morgan is looking for an experienced Personal Injury Attorney to join its quickly growing practice of plaintiff's personal injury lawyers and supporting case staff in Sacramento. The attorney will handle a heavy and complex case load from pre‑litigation, litigation, trial prep and trial. Cases may include representing plaintiffs in motor vehicle accidents including trucking.

Growth Highlights

• Of the $25 billion+ we have recovered on behalf of the people in 1988, we have recouped over $8 billion of this total in the past 2 years alone across all 50 states, Washington DC, and the US Virgin Islands.
• We have doubled our national mega‑marketing campaigns from $250M to $500M+ since 2023, making Morgan & Morgan the Number 1 company in the nation for out‑of‑home marketing spend in the nation. This past October, we proudly hired Geico Insurance’s former Head of Auto Marketing to serve as our new Chief Marketing Officer and continue our advancement.
• Unlike the vast majority of our competitors, Morgan & Morgan is proud to employ attorneys who can truly call themselves trial attorneys. Last year, we tried 320 cases. In the coming years, we will double that annual number. Attorneys at Morgan & Morgan are not only expected to get trial experience and frequent exposure to the courtroom on their and their colleagues’ cases, they are required to. If you are seeking the opportunity to try cases frequently, we are confident that we can and will deliver.
• Our attorneys are privy to world‑class case docket management software, litigation resources, and a wealth of benefits in service of optimization and case development.

Responsibilities

• Day‑to‑day handling of both pre‑litigation and litigation cases in and around the Sacramento area
• Drafting and filing litigation documents including pleadings, discovery requests and responses, demands, motions and memoranda of law
• Guiding plaintiff clients through the case process
• Interacting with expert witnesses including conference calls, drafting of expert reports and affidavits
• Attending and preparing for depositions, mediations, hearings and court appearances

Qualifications

• Law degree (J.D./JD/Juris Doctor) from an accredited law school
• Active member in good standing with the California Bar
• Minimum 5+ years of personal injury premises liability experience
• Civil jury trial experience preferred
• Ability to manage a high volume of pre‑litigation and litigation cases
• Excellent client service and communication skills
• Self‑starter driven by long‑term career goals
• Superior writing and oral advocacy skills

Salary Range: $75,000 — $100,000 USD. Compensation includes a base salary, non‑recoverable draw and standard commission fees/bonuses, along with a full benefits package. Each litigator will have a large case staff, including a dedicated paralegal and a dedicated legal assistant.
