Job description

At Morgan & Morgan, the work we do matters. For millions of Americans, we’re 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.

Some salient growth point highlights are as follows:

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. This past October, we proudly hired Geico Insurance’s former Head of Auto Marketing to serve as our new Chief Marketing Officer.
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.
